Occupier news around the nation

  The activities of the occupiers are becoming so banal it's boring to talk about them.
  As the country anticipates yet another occupy sympathetic class warfare speech, we read about their behavior on church property in Fort Myers, property that is leased by a pre-K school. Needless to say, exposing the children and their teachers to the occupiers' behavior was of concern. PJ Media:
For nine days, Occupiers in Ft. Myers, Florida, took over the grounds of a Unitarian Universalist church and an adjoining preschool, driving out parents, toddlers, and teachers for the week. 
Unitarian elders originally invited the group to squat on church property after Sheriff Mike Scott ordered them out of the city’s Centennial Park for permit issues. But not one of the elders felt obligated to inform the staff of Creative Minds Montessori School, which rents permanent classroom facilities there. 
School staff and parents were blindsided on Sunday night, when one of the teachers heard about the camp and drove by to check it out. Some 40 Occupiers were comfortably established in tents with a full array of food, coolers, grills, music, and electric lights supplied by the church, and people consumed alcohol and marijuana just feet from the preschool where children were to play outside.
  Why church officials were so calloused to the details is a mystery.
  In New York, the occupiers were arrested, went to jail, ordered a pizza which never got them because the cops ate it:
The group placed a $30 order through the AIDS charity for which they had been protesting - but when the food arrived, the demonstrators never got so much as a slice.The protesters - who were taking a break from Occupy to demonstrate for more AIDS research money - are now accusing the police of stealing the pizza and want their dough back.
  In the most hilarious moment so far, LA occupiers are seeking therapy for having to witness themselves being arrested:
One speaker suggested that some of those arrested might need therapy. Several said they felt traumatized after witnessing police use nonlethal force and being forced to wait for hours in zip-tie handcuffs. Some displayed cuts on their wrists from the handcuffs. Others complained that they were forced to urinate in bags on the bus as they were transported to jails. 
  Hot Air takes apart some yokel's claim that football fans are more violent than the occupiers, because of one incident:
After castigating college football fans, Amato argues that the Occupy Wall Street protesters are their antithesis — that they are, in fact, peaceful protesters. Sheesh. Has Amato never seen the rap sheet? We’re up to nearly 400 incidents of violence, vandalism and outrageous behavior among the Occupiers. What is Amato’s definition of “peaceful”? 
Because he believes OWS protesters are peaceful and college football fans violent, he’s properly appalled that police would turn to tasers, pepper spray and other tamers to subdue Occupy crowds, while stadium security officers allow college football fans all-but-free-reign over the field. He can come up with just one explanation: Police mistreat Occupiers because they “just aren’t profitable,” while college football fans supply a lot of cash to the schools they support.
  AND those peaceful Santa Cruz occupiers have left the building....left it stinking and damaged, that is. 
  Then there's occupy or die
