What are Mayor Ed Lee's excuses for gutting the Occupy SF camp?
- If our bocce ball courts aren't free, nobody's really free
- Tourists just hate it when they see a lot of San Franciscans doing something unusual in a public space
- The messages on those cardboard signs are hurtful
- It's giving San Francisco a reputation for liberalism
- It turns out that the First Amendment is a serious health hazard
- What do you mean "excuses?" John Avalos lost the fucking election
- According to municipal code, homeless people must be at least 5 feet apart for the city to leave them alone to die
- Zoning code violation ... or something
- Occupy is attracting homeless people to downtown, where they've never, ever, been before
- If too many hippies camp on public land without bathing or using money, Burning Man will sue for trademark infringement
- It's better than thinking about the deficit
- They've promised not to use pepper spray, which makes everything fine again
