A pair of Southland street cart vendors who were forced to shut down their businesses after “Occupy” protesters vandalized their carts are hoping to get some help from local residents.To be honest with you some of the blame for this has to go to the cart owners who foolishly gave free food and drink to these losers when they first showed up. They were obviously trying to buy favor from the social parasites. How'd that work out for you?
KNX 1070′s Tom Reopelle reports a fundraiser in the Gas Lamp district in San Diego on Monday night is aimed at helping two vendors get back on their feet.
The coffee and hot dog carts were located in Civic Center Plaza, the same location as the Occupy San Diego protesters.
That group first settled in to the plaza Oct. 7 and set up a tent city which has since twice been taken down by police.
Coffee cart owner Linda Jenson and hot dog cart operators Letty and Pete Soto said they initially provided free food and drink to demonstrators, but when they stopped, the protesters became violent.
And according to one city councilman, bodily fluids were used in the attacks.
“Both carts have had items stolen, have had their covers vandalized with markings and graffiti, as well as one of the carts had urine and blood splattered on it,” said Councilman Carl DeMaio.
The damages will likely require at least a complete cleaning if not a replacement of the cart covers, DeMaio said.
In addition to the attacks, the vendors also said they recently received death threats.
Remember when Men's Wearhouse in Oakland put a sign of support in the window and shut their store for the "General Strike"? All it got them was national scorn and broken windows.
You don't negotiate with terrorists, and you don't negotiate with social parasites. You defeat them.

If the fundraiser doesn't raise enough money, are the vendors going to vandalize the Gas Lamp district?
This must be what Obama meant by his 'Bottom-Up' economy.
They never heard "Don't Feed The Bears".
