Occupy Dallas to Relocate, Regroup [video]
DALLAS - Protesters in Dallas voted Thursday evening to close down the camp near city hall and relocate somewhere within the Dallas city limits.
Occupy Dallas has been struggling with people in the encampment who are not part of the cause, including some people who have criminal backgrounds.
For example, protesters said someone showed up to the camp this week and pulled a knife on someone. Nobone knew who he was.
Last week a convicted sex offender was arrested at the camp for the sexual assault of 14-year-old runaway and Thursday morning Child Protective Services workers showed up to question a family about staying in a tent with a 9-month-old baby.
And in addition to the bad publicity, the protesters said there are people who have been taking advantage of the movement by sleeping in donated tents and eating donated food.
