A Night In Zuccotti Park

New York Post reporter Candice Giove braved the elements, the crazies and the sexual predators to spend a night in Zuccotti Park with the Wall Street Occupiers. She lived to tell the tale. The Occupiers seem to have devolved to a lower level of civilization:

The parcel is now a sliver of madness, rife with sex attacks, robberies and vigilante justice.

It�s a leaderless bazaar that�s been divided into state-like camps � with tents packed together so densely that the only way to add more would be to stack them.

And despite an NYPD watchtower overhead and the entire north side of Zuccotti lined with police vehicles, it is quickly becoming one of the most dangerous places in New York City.

Occupier organizers can�t keep up with the crime, and policemen are about ready to give up:

�We cannot take him in by ourselves, the cops have to come!� reiterates the OWS security force member.

They call the NYPD � and it becomes abundantly clear that the cops down there are sick of the antics.

�Every single night it�s the same thing. I mean, some guy was a victim of rape!� an officer snarls. �There comes a time when it�s over. This is a disaster. It�s all we�re doing, every two seconds, is locking somebody up every time. It�s done.

�It�s done,� he repeats.

Some of the Occupiers are crazy:

Outside, an old-man Occupier in a plaid earflap hat is screaming at people in the crosswalk at Church and Barclay.

�Why are you afraid of bunny rabbits? Whyyyyy?�

But the mentally disturbed aren�t the scariest ones. Sexual assault has become one of the chief activities at Zuccotti Park, and the Occupiers have split into Hobbesian categories of predators and victims:

They speak of theft, about government infiltrators and tales of Rikers Island castoffs being dropped off to roam and ravage the site. From underneath my blanket, I hear allegations of financial corruption and intimidation over sexual orientation.

�I�m in a tent that keeps getting flooded, ransacked and robbed,� fumes a transgender group leader � a female who identifies as a male. He said that the transgender group would create its own police force for transgender protesters and females, since an immense distrust loomed over the OWS-created authority. �

The threat of rape is very real here � for women and men.

Sitting in the McDonald�s just moments after Bezabeh was hauled off in cuffs, Lauren DiGioia, 26, tells me about how she became one of the growing number of victims on her very first night in the park. �

DiGioia, who is from Clifton, NJ, was shocked to see her alleged attacker�s image in The Post about a week later � and she identified him to the police. She is now offering counsel to other victims, as new ones crop up every day.

�I just talked to two gentlemen who were raped last night, and they don�t want to press charges because [authorities] wanted to take them in an ambulance and . . . do a rape kit,� she said. She passed on their account to the security force, while encouraging them to press charges.

�There was another girl raped by the same man,� she said from a table in the McDonald�s, which has become the headquarters of the revolution.

Zuccotti Park is basically a freak show, only with lots more crime, and dirtier:

I spend the rest of the night awake against the wall of a tent built for four � but packed with six.

My bunkmates include an anarchist, a sexual-assault victim, two security-force members, a girl dressed like the devil and her kitten � the �Anarkitty.�

It is time for the authorities to put this pathetic experiment in liberalism out of its misery.

Were we dealing with capable adults, enough lightbulbs would be going on overhead to illuminate the entire camp. Not holding my breath, though.

IMO, they got what they deserved.

the MSM nomenklatura must have decided these vermin are hurting the Democrats who embraced them, and tried to argue they are defining the political argument. coverage is declining rapidly....one more snowstorm should finish it off north of the Mason Dixon line. Oakland may last a bit longer.

But, but, they're basically the same as the Tea-partiers....

Only in that they are homo sapiens. Mostly.

Quotes from Dear Leader



Rape is certainly a release of frustrations.



Really? How many arrests and crimes were committed at Tea Party rallies? These people don't want intstitutions. Period.



Values that manifest themselves in robbery, rape, assault, mental illness.....

Obama embraced OWS. He added fuel and gave the criminal element and anarchist's legs. He now owns it. I am sure he has the homosexual rapist vote locked up.

I'm reminded of a flea infestation I had in an apartment after I agreed to look after my friend's kitten when he left town. One day I came home and happened to pass the bright spot on the carpet in the living room. That's where late afternoon sunlight came through the window and lit up the floor. A cajillion fleas attacked me when I crossed that spot. They're attracted to heat so that's why they were there. Sure was convenient for me to spray that spot the next day with flea spray and took care of the flea problem in one fell swoop.

What percentage of the OWS protesters, nationwide, would you say are "vermin" (your word above) and what percentage would you say are people with reasonable concerns about the banksters in bed with a corrupt government?

By now any reasonable and sane people have left, except for the cops and correspondents, and I'd have to wonder about the latter.

We've got a group of the OWS folks that have been camped out in front of the court house for the past few weeks. At first it was just the usual suspects - college kids, baby boomers looking to relive their Viet Nam protesting glory days, and hippies. Now, after several days of heavy rain, all that remain are the crazy meth heads. I had to drive by the court house yesterday, and this old meth head was crossing the street to go hang out in the rain with the other old meth heads. This is a three lane street with a steady stream of traffic. Dude takes off from the sidewalk and doesn't even cut a B line across the street like a normal person would - he just sort of slowly meanders out to the center lane, where he stops to curse at the cars passing him on either side. After I'd gone by him, I was reminded of this little gem from The Simpsons that pretty much sums it up.

Welcome to Barakistan.

Not sure what the definition of "vermin" is, but the protestors are NOT expressing reasonable concerns regarding corruption between business and government.

They are:

Old Hippies;
The "me"/entitlement generation
anarchists
communists
socialists
marxists
And the usual apologists that are ashamed to be Americans



They are not railing against corruption - they are upset they did not get their share of a bailout. If they were upset about corrpution in government, they would be in DC making their case.

Their antics have cost municipal and state governments millions of dollars those institutions don't have.

If you include someone that thinks they are owned something, who wants something for nothing, in the definition of "vermin", I'd those combined with the other attendees would put the number close to 100%.

close to all of them, based on the interviews, videos and news reports by non-commie reporters.

they are also a tiny tiny group....there were more people in the student section in Tuscaloosa last night than have been at all the pompously styled Occupations in the whole country.

The group @ dinner tonight have "knighted" the OWS group as now being crime fighters; pointing out and bringing to justice litter-bugs, rapists, etc.

Positively laughable.

Oh, and there have been NUMEROUS favorable Ron Paul comments; even more so than favorable comments for Hussein.

Yeah, but Steve, you can't hold the actions of 99% of the socialist freaks against the other 1% who are just gullible tools.

Police, Occupy D.C. protesters differ on collision
Sunday - 11/6/2011, 6:17am ET

WASHINGTON (AP) - District of Columbia police and Occupy DC protesters are offering conflicting accounts about a weekend incident in which a motorist struck three protesters near a downtown demonstration.

Police said Saturday that a driver will not be charged for striking the three people Friday evening.

Assistant Police Chief Lamar Greene said at a Saturday evening press conference that police concluded from talking to two witnesses that the collision was unavoidable. But the three people involved in the crash gave a different story.

Hundreds of protesters affiliated with Occupy DC shut down streets Friday night near the city's convention center in downtown, where a conservative group was gathering. The two adults and one teenager who were struck were taken to the hospital after the collision and later released.

Lt. Christopher Micciche of the D.C. police said the driver was not cited because he had a green light when his vehicle struck the three at around 10 p.m.

"The protesters were apparently trying to block the roadway," Micciche said. "It was essentially an accident where three individuals were injured but they were in violation by being in the roadway."

Micciche said witnesses told police that the three pedestrians "either ran toward or jumped in front of the moving vehicle." He said one pedestrian jumped on the hood of the car.

But the demonstrators said that wasn't true.

Heidi Sippel of Vandalia, Ohio, said that she, her 13-year-old son and her wife Brandy Sippel were taking part in the demonstration when a silver Lexus sped toward them. The driver slowed down, threw up his hands in apparent frustration and then drove forward, hitting them, she said. Brandy Sippel, who is six months pregnant, was grazed by the car's rearview mirror. Heidi Sippel said she and her son were both hit by the front of the car.

"He just threw his hands up and hit the gas," Heidi Sippel said of the driver.

She said none of them had thrown themselves in front of the car.

"We weren't trying to get in front of the cars. We would have very happily, given the opportunity, stepped out of the way and let him pass by," she said.

Sippel said all three members of her family were cited by police for obstructing traffic and walking against a do-not-walk sign, both of which carry fines. A police report confirms the citations.

A man identified in a police report as the vehicle driver, Shawn Valentine of Clinton, Md., said he was at work when reached by telephone Saturday night and could not speak about the incident.

According to a police report, he told officers he observed a clearing between the protesters and tried to pass between them when the demonstrators jumped "onto and in front of his vehicle."

Other individuals affiliated with the Occupy DC group said the same driver struck another demonstrator nearby before hitting the Sippel family. Greene, the assistant chief, said he did not know about another incident.

"Barakistan?"

I found this today....
