Good for Lawrence.If these pampered protesters want to occupy something, let them take over a piece of open property somewhere — preferably one that needs to be cleaned up.Get you hands dirty.Make a difference.But don’t impede the use of public property that OTHERS have funded with their hard-earned tax dollars.In case you hadn’t heard, here’s how the Associated Press reported the Lawrence reaction to this current fad.“Members of Occupy Lawrence are looking for a new site to camp after the city ordered them out of a downtown park.“Lawrence police told the group members Tuesday that they might be arrested and have their gear confiscated if they didn’t move out of South Park.“Police cited a city ordinance that bars use of the park from 11:30 p.m. to 6 a.m.“Tuesday evening several members of the group asked the city commission to help them find a city-owned place to camp. Mayor Aron Cromwell said he doubted the city would meet that request.”No. Duh!Unless the city has a camping facility, why should they?There is a reason that the parks close from midnight to 6 a.m. and that goes for Great Bend, as well as Lawrence.
