Noting that the occupiers in the yard next across from his looked a little “sickly and malnourished”, Richmond Mayor Dwight Jones announced an initiative to give the occupiers free servings of aerosolized vegetable spray, starting next Monday.
“It pains me greatly to see these young people living in tents and eating poorly-prepared, nutrient-free meals,” said the Mayor. “So as mayor, I am going to appropriate funds from the general fund to give this vegetable spray to the occupiers. Believe me, it is the least I can do as my way of saying sorry after the Kanawha fiasco.” (Richmond police broke up the Kanawha occupation at 1 AM Halloween night, drawing heavy criticism for their heavy-handed tactics).
