A former protester claims Occupy KC is preoccupied with sex and drugs, but an occupier says that’s not true
Is Occupy Kansas City a den of drugs and hookers howling through the night? It is if you believe a TV news report last week. After all, nothing goes with revolution like a little weed and banging.
A former occupier named Bill Shelton told KSHB Channel 41 that he could “stomach” only five nights at the Occupy Kansas City camp in Penn Valley Park due to all the drugs and sex.
Shelton, whom other occupiers recall working with and seeing at the site, told KSHB: “Allowing that to happen in front of children — and you can hear it going on in tents, you can hear it in the night and you can hear it in the daytime.”
Shelton added that he hopes Mayor Sly James shuts down the camp.
The problem with Shelton’s claims is that they aren’t backed by anyone else.
