The city closed half of City Hall Park and put a halt to all camping at the Occupy Burlington site Thursday night while police investigate a shooting in a tent that cost a 35-year-old man his life.Meanwhile, down in Atlanta, contagion continues to spread...
A homeless shelter that has been housing more than 100 "Occupy Atlanta" protesters has tested positive for tuberculosis, WGCL-TV reported Thursday.And over in sunny Lotus Land...
At least two people at the Atlanta shelter have contracted the air-borne disease, a highly contagious bacterial infection that affects the lungs and other organs.
"One of these persons was confirmed to have a strain of TB that is resistant to a single, standard medication."
The Oakland killing is further straining relations between local officials and anti-Wall Street protesters.Yup... apparently the pestilence & death is also spreading north of the border.
An interesting contrast to solemn crowds of veterans in their late eighties standing at attention for hours in zero degree weather to pay tribute to their fallen comrades.
I know who my 99% are.

UPDATE: Darwin was right
I'm beginning to rethink shutting down these protests...
-- SALT LAKE CITY -- A dead body was found in a tent at Pioneer Park Friday morning.We just leave 'em alone over the winter... Mother Nature & Mother Malthus will thin out the herd.
The body was identified as a male member of the Occupy SLC group, but Salt Lake City police officers are saying it is not suspicious, but the cause is unknown.
