   The chaos and crime at Occupy Wall Street reflects similar patterns of apparent violent disorder at Occupy protests across North America-from heroin dealing in Boston, to assaults at Occupy Oakland, to an alleged rape at Occupy Cleveland, to alleged sexual assault at Occupy Ottawa, and to an unexplained death at Occupy Oklahoma City. Activists have, at several sites, discouraged each other from reporting serious crimes-including rape-to the police.

   It is true that the Occupy Wall Street protest is taking place on private property. Yet Mayor Bloomberg’s responsibility does not end at the curbside. In fact, he may have a special responsibility to act, since it was his strange prediction of “riots” on September 16, 2011 that helped set the stage for the Occupy Wall Street protest that began the very next day.

   Mayor Bloomberg is allowing New York’s inmates to run the asylum. That has set a bad example that is being repeated across the country, with dozens of known victims.

   It is time for Mayor Bloomberg to close down the violent crime zone that he helped create.

     Is there any correlation to these possible crimes at any Occupy City to the same number of people in any large city in USA?

     Perhaps Channing is a bit obsessed with hysteria and revolution?

     Something like 10 groping incidents … Deaf Man Raped at #OWS Too (Video)

     It’s not just young women who are being groped and sexually assaulted at the #Occupy Wall Street squatters camp. A young deaf man was raped, too.

     Blog Breitbarth: The young woman, whom we believe to be an activist named Channing Kehoe, refers to part of Zuccotti Park as a “ghetto,” and discusses the prevalence of drug abuse, sexual assault, rape, and other violent crimes among the demonstrators:

     The Breitbart definition of democracy: Inmates running the asylum.

   No better evidence that you don’t work for the 1%.

   There is one thing moving counter the Post and Daily News daily dose of garbage.  And that is the fact that union locals have swung behind Occupy Wall Street and members of those locals have been to Zucotti Park and know what conditions are like there.

   And…Breitbart has been known to pull stories out his ass.  With no real facts whatsoever.

   Of course, Breitbart is throwing everything he can find at the Occupy Wall Street movement.  The biggest losers if it succeeds in transforming US political culture will be, not the 1% but folks like Breitbart, the Fox friends, Rush Limbaugh, and all their right-wing shock jock competitors and wannabes.  A whole industry is fighting back just like the health insurance industry fought healthcare reform and the financial industry fought Dodd-Frank.
