Well, first of all, if they were real friends they would have actually tried to stop her from mixing two volatile and dangerous drugs (heroin and cocaine). What's offense to me is that they let her die, and at a young age too. Furthermore, it's common sense to actually be in safe place under the supervision of friends when you do drugs, let alone mix two hardcore drugs at once. I'm the one who is pissed, nevermind them. They should feel shame and guilt for their disregard of their friend's safety. I mean, she died alone in her tent and her body was there for many hours before someone noticed.
Second of all: If you make your bed, you sleep on it. You can't build up a huge event like Occupy under the pretense that everything you do there should be broadcast to Canadians all over - then do a 180 on that position when something like a death happens under supervision of Occupy organizers and participators. Like any other public event, everything that happens there is the responsibility of everyone who built it up. If the protesters want to liken their squat to a community of equality and compassion, expect the Canadian public to see and judge how the community treats their own based on events like two overdoses (one fatal), biting of several firemen and the assault of bystanders then come to the conclusion of "If they can't handle policing the bad elements of their group or protecting the health, safety of their community of a hundred, imagine if their policies are put to actual practice for the rest of Canadians."

If you produce a public spectacle on public lands in the centre of a large city, expect to be filmed at all times and under every circumstance.
Absolutely shameful behaviour.
I participated in the protests within the first week of it's inception but I quickly got over the honeymooning phase once I started to talk to more and more of the assholes that reside in the squat.
At first I was annoyed with how they would storm into the nearby TD bank chanting YOU GOT BAILED OUT, WE GOT SOLD OUT despite their collective ignorance to the inconvenient fact that none of Canada's banks were bailed out at all. When I tried to point this out to some of them, I was shouted down for being a fascist and capitalist crony. However, what ended my support for the group was them letting people die under their watch.

The funniest thing is all the hate on the police, walked past the site today and laughed at all the "Fucking Pigs" and "Fuck the Police" posters set up.
What? Was he scared to take action like they did in a bunch of US cities? It wouldn't ruin his public image one bit; no one cares about occupy anymore other than the travesty it has become.
