St. Louis City Mayor Francis Slay is receiving more complaints about the Occupiers in the city’s downtown Keiner Plaza area–not just from city boosters concerned about the city’s image, but tea party groups upset over the preferential treatment the city gave the Occupiers when it fleeced the tea party for use of the same space. Slay attempted to remedy that Tuesday by presenting the Occupiers with the choice of meeting a few requirements or eviction. Occupy members of Anonymous replied by hacking the Mayor’s website and making threats.
Apparently giving the Occupiers the equal treatment given to other groups–not even, they were offered a free permit!–is so offensive that they felt the need to respond this way.
To give credit, two Occupiers condemned the cyber vandalism. Kudos. Others appeared to endorse the action.
Will Mayor Slay be bullied into not enforcing the law by vandals? If so, where do we draw the line at what laws will and will not be enforced? Can city residents forgo feeding parking meters? Vending without a vendor’s permit?
