Right. I bet the whole thing was staged...someone threw the grenade at themselves hoping for a handout. Hopefully they'll have a close-up on TV. If McCain would have gotten in none of this would be happening.

Newly sprung ex-cons and vagrants rousted from other parks are crashing the Occupy Wall Street protest, where gourmet meals are free and boozy, drugfueled parties are on tap, the movement’s leaders griped yesterday.
“They’re telling people who leave prison to go to Zuccotti Park,” lamented Daniel Zetah, a leader of the OWS community-relations group.
Volunteer Lauren Digioia, 26, said, “We have drug dealing going on here, gang activity, public intoxication. There are a lot of instigators. There are a lot of vultures.
“Everyone knows we give out free food and sleeping bags, and it’s a perfect opportunity for squatters.”

Yeah, I hear they were donated some of the really good zero degrees bags so that they can hang in there through the winter.
Funny thing is everything they are bitch*ng about being “bilked” out of - they got for free!
A sign of the times when my characteristic optimism breaks down in Celenteismic thought experiments.
I think it is less about police protection and more about saying that if you take the risk to hang out in that environment, for whatever reason, you might have consequences. Some of the consequences will include that homeless people, those just out of jail, those who are mentally ill, etc. will all become part of the population.
And, believe me, those guys who’ve been released from Rikers’ are NOT New York’s finest citizens. I wonder if DSK was still in town whether he’d join the squatters - lots of girls, you know?
•Screaming F' the police, then forming your own - yes
•Fighting for gender and racial equality, then forming segregated communities - yes
•Ranting for free everything, then getting indignant over freeloaders - yes!
Perfect demotivational poster material.
You forgot: Sreaming for equality and making white men speak last at their general sessions (behind women and other "traditionally disenfrancised" persons, according to them).
We were sending Govt. money to these Acorn bastids.
Insurgents is what they are.
>>>I predict OWS will have to issue official OWS I.D. cards.<<<
Yes, a few elites will have official documents to prove they are rightful members of the “99%”.
Next they will build a border fence around the park to keep out “undocumented non-workers” (after a week or so of frustrtation, they will drop “undocumented” and start calling them “illegals”)

For the Love of God !! Will someone please tell these people that Jerry Garcia is dead ! !
That was my exact statement when the idiots were upset that the money they ‘raised’ for the OWS group turned into a committee that required paperwork and PERMISSION for things that they needed.
The nimwits actually said “What is this, the government” when whining about how the money they raised went to the group and when they turned in requests for items needed, were turned down.
My entire point got a whopping 115 “thumbs down” comment because I said “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.”
They did NOT like hearing the reality of life amongst communism. I bet they got it, even while giving me a “thumbs down.”

I sure could use a new sleeping bag...
It’s been a tough week at work, and I’ve been a bit under the weather the last couple of days. But reading this article gave me the first real belly laugh I’ve had in a long time.
This is just sooooooo rich....
Very poetic and true! ROTFLOL!
sherlock holmes?
Puts a smile on my face, it does.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!
“This is what hypocrisy looks like!”
That’s why the so-called “Summer of Love” only in essence lasted a few days......hippies are an easy mark for criminals and freeloaders.
