Another Day… Another Corpse Found at #Occupy Camp – Far Left Protester Had Been Dead For Days. New Poll: Americans Dissaprove of Occupy. Quinnipiac University is well known for conducting polls that are regularly featured in The New York Times, The Washington Post, USA Today, and The Wall Street Journal. Recently, they conducted a poll that, contrary to the common narrative, reveals more voters disapprove of the Occupy Wherever movement than support it.

“Just 30 percent of Americans have a favorable view of the protests, while 39 percent do not,” reports Business Insider. “Among independent voters, the spread is 29-42 against — a warning sign for Democrats who are trying to bring the movement into the mainstream.” This shows a marked change from a recent CNN poll that claimed “32 percent of Americans supported the movement, while 29 percent viewed it unfavorably.” As always, whenever these polls come along, it may be prudent to take the results with a grain of salt. As written earlier on The Blaze: Polls are not definitive by any means and usually only give a rough picture. So what methods did Quinnipiac use? Shocker. The Night Occupy Los Angeles Tore Itself In Two. Around 8 p.m. on Wednesday night, the 300 people who have been occupying the lawn of Los Angeles City Hall for the past three weeks split themselves into two hostile camps.

Occupy LA’s decision-making body, the General Assembly, has been responsible for conducting the encampment’s business. As in most other cities, the participating members handle everything from ensuring the nightly meeting take place to doing financial research on Los Angeles-based bankers to cleaning up the trash. But on Wednesday, a large group of dissenters decided to occupy the General Assembly’s usual outdoor meeting space and assert themselves as the new regime. One man, standing at the center of the swirling and increasingly unruly crowd, yelled into a megaphone, “You don’t represent us anymore! We’re taking over! We’re the People’s Forum!” There are two things that strike you when you come upon the Occupy LA encampment. The People’s Forum held to their pledge to not have time limits or committees. Occupy Wall Street kitchen slowdown targets squatters. TUMMY TROUBLE: Protesters and hangers-on were disappointed in yesterday’s fare supplied by cooks who plan to serve only brown rice instead of fancy feasts in protest over an influx of “professional homeless” eaters.

(NY Post: Chad Rachman) The Occupy Wall Street volunteer kitchen staff launched a “counter” revolution yesterday — because they’re angry about working 18-hour days to provide food for “professional homeless” people and ex-cons masquerading as protesters. For three days beginning tomorrow, the cooks will serve only brown rice and other spartan grub instead of the usual menu of organic chicken and vegetables, spaghetti bolognese, and roasted beet and sheep’s-milk-cheese salad. They will also provide directions to local soup kitchens for the vagrants, criminals and other freeloaders who have been descending on Zuccotti Park in increasing numbers every day. Officers made at least 10 arrests when rowdy demonstrators refused to get out of the street and stop blocking traffic. » #OccupyAnimalFarm: Factional Fighting Grips #OccupyWallSt - Big Government.
