Logistics problems are for city planners, not untrained citizens. Not to claim that the city should have accommodated but just the opposite; it was a poor choice to not have anything setup in advance whether by the city or by its constituents. Even then, some areas where things were setup, porta-potties and the like were not getting emptied. Of course the media will latch onto the results of that. Frankly I want to smack anyone that thought it was a good idea to not plan for those sort of things but popular movements tend to grow out of control before anyone can get a handle on them. The one in Raleigh was recently broken up because too many supplies were being kept.
The reason so many supplies were being kept was to help keep the protesters warm and fed when there were massive fluctuations in numbers and to service the homeless that frequented the area due to a new-found accepting, albeit naive community.
