Crime Surging at "Occupier" Sites
Scenes From "Lord of the Flies"
**A report out of Cleveland that police are investigating a rape claim made by a 19-year-old woman last weekend has received little attention.
**It's gotten so bad in Baltimore that organizers are discouraging alleged victims from going to the police (maybe they should go to Sheriff Biden).
**One Oakland police officer, who asked to remain anonymous for reasons of police protocol, described the scene in tent city as akin to a scene from "Lord of the Flies."
**Down in Los Angeles the "occupiers" have already trashed their current location and are looking to upgrade their digs. They also have hopelessly confused about what they want and, since they're apparently stoned out of their minds, can't come up with an actual list of demands, outside of recurring requests for munchies, it appears.
**Up in Boston things are also teetering out of control...
Demonstrator Andrew Warner, 36, said homeless people are hijacking tents, getting drunk, "passing out" and stealing.
"It's turning into us against them," Warner said. "They come in here and they're looking at it as a way of getting a free meal and a place to crash, which is totally fine, but they don't bring anything to the table at all. It gets really frustrating."
Jackson Bush, manning the Occupy information tent yesterday, said some homeless people have been hoarding free items, including donated coats.
Funny how a mob who wants to redistribute the wealth becomes upset when the homeless want to help themselves to other people's property.
The irony escapes them.
