Now, considering the fact that tourists are probably mingling with these protesters...could it be the tourists who are the thieves? Or is the tent city separate from where the protesters are, and they leave their stuff unguarded...again for anyone to walk in?
But according to the reporter - the Occupy folks believe it is people within their own ranks who are doing the stealing.
It's in the New York Post: "It’s a den of thieves! Occupy Wall Street protesters said yesterday that packs of brazen crooks within their ranks have been robbing their fellow demonstrators blind, making off with pricey cameras, phones and laptops -- and even a hefty bundle of donated cash and food. 'Stealing is our biggest problem at the moment,' said Nan Terrie, 18, a kitchen and legal-team volunteer from Fort Lauderdale."
and
"Security volunteer Harry Wyman, 22, of Brooklyn was furious about the thievery -- and vowed to get tough with the predatory perps. 'I’m not getting paid, but I’m not gonna stand for it. Why people got to come here and do stupid stuff? All it does is make people not wanna come here anymore,' Wyman fumed." I don't understand this, folks. I thought the whole idea here was share and share alike. I thought the whole idea here was that whatever you have is everybody else's. I thought the whole idea here was if somebody's got a $5,500 Mac and you don't have a $5,500 Mac that you're entitled to it. I thought if there was an envelope of $2,500 of cash in the kitchen and it's not yours, that you're entitled to it.
Another thing about the Occupyt Wall Street folks...I can't remember if Rush mentioned it but O'Reilly did last night - there are very few black people in their ranks. So are the Occupy Wall Street folks racist, too? (We know they're anti-Semitic, and that they've been endorsed by the American Nazi party and the American Communist Party!)
"Meanwhile, the Reverend Jackson was at Zuccotti Park late last night as he and about 50 protesters --" speaking of con men, the Reverend Jackson showed up. This is not gonna make Reverend Sharpton happy. Looks like he got upstaged. "The Reverend Jackson was at Zuccotti late last night as he and about 50 protesters formed a human chain in front of a medical tent after police officers came over to ask about the tent." A medical tent where they probably dispense medical marijuana. It's probably what's going on in there. "'Jesse dropped in like a ninja,' said Stephanie Perricone, 21. 'He came out of nowhere and helped us all out.' The officers were asking about the size of the tent when the crowd of demonstrators -- including Jackson -- stood en masse in front of it. The cops didn’t ask for it to be taken down and the issue was quickly resolved."
Now I have to say, I don't see a problem with medical marijuana. If you're dying and in a helluva lot of pain, and medical marijuana can help you, then you should damn well be able to use it.
It's so silly, the medical marijuana case is in the same boat as the coal industries. As Obama said about coal (I paraphrase): "We'll let them build their plants, but we'll have so many regulations that they'll go bankrupt trying to run it."
Same thing with medical marijuana. Apparently it's legal to sell medical marijuana...but not legal to grow it. Some nonsense like that.
Don't get me wrong. I think healthy people who smoke marijuana are idiots. So are poor people who consume drugs, and middle class and rich people who buy the more expensive drugs. They're all stupid. Drug dealers shouldn't be arrested and sent to jail, they should just be executed. Poor people shouldn't do hard time for drug possession - what do they know? But the middle class and wealthy? The ones who have the education and all the opportunities they could ask for - send them to jail for the terminally stupid.
