Hot dog vendors Letty and Pete Soto went before city officials last week to discuss how they were terrorized by Occupy San Diego protesters. The couple’s hot dog business was ruined after Obama-endorsed activists threw blood and urine at their cart.



The Sotos needed police protection to attend a fundraiser on their behalf after receiving death threats from the Obama-endorsed activists.

CBS Local reported, via Free Republic:

KNX 1070′s Tom Reopelle reports a fundraiser in the Gas Lamp district in San Diego on Monday night is aimed at helping two vendors get back on their feet.

The coffee and hot dog carts were located in Civic Center Plaza, the same location as the Occupy San Diego protesters.

That group first settled in to the plaza Oct. 7 and set up a tent city which has since twice been taken down by police.

Coffee cart owner Linda Jenson and hot dog cart operators Letty and Pete Soto said they initially provided free food and drink to demonstrators, but when they stopped, the protesters became violent.

And according to one city councilman, bodily fluids were used in the attacks.

“Both carts have had items stolen, have had their covers vandalized with markings and graffiti, as well as one of the carts had urine and blood splattered on it,” said Councilman Carl DeMaio.

The damages will likely require at least a complete cleaning if not a replacement of the cart covers, DeMaio said.

In addition to the attacks, the vendors also said they recently received death threats.

The Sotos received a police escort to their own fundraiser on Monday out of concerns for their safety.

People?  Just how long are we going to stand for this?

Because body fluids carry deadly viruses, these folks are out of business and will have to replace everything in order to resume selling food to the public.
