Three “Occupy” protesters were arrested and charged with hate crimes and robbery in Oakland on Friday after hurling epithets and generally battering a woman who asked them not to protest in her neighborhood. They took her wallet, but she was able to break free from the thuggish threesome long enough to get away and call police, who arrested the assailants in short order. While not clear from the Reuters article, it seems unlikely that the woman had been part of the “1%,” offering some substantiation of what has been alleged all along: The Occupiers are nothing but garden variety hoodlums who have adopted a political excuse for their behavior.
According to the police:
“She was surrounded by three protestors and battered as they yelled vulgar epithets regarding their perception of her sexual orientation,” Oakland Police spokeswoman Johnna Watson said.
The female victim was not identified except as a 20-year resident of the neighborhood.
“Her wallet was taken during the crime,” Watson said. “The victim broke away from the group and called police, who were able to arrest one suspect near the scene.”
What this reveals is how the “Occupy Movement” has relied upon the recruitment of thugs to swell its ranks. This isn’t a movement against the top one-percent in wealth, so much as a movement by the bottom one-percent in moral standing. The Occupy movement has continued to lose the support of the American people as many more incidents of this sort have dominated the news from the various protest sites. That fact may help to explain this, in the Reuters article:
“An Occupy Oakland organizer could not be reached for comment on Friday evening.”
The Occupiers have lost all ability to control their would-be movement. Instead, due to the ugly behavior of its generally thuggish members, Occupy organizers are ducking the press. With a history of burglary, rape, sexual assault, robbery and murder, as well as rioting to their credit, they have finally begun to full reap what they have sewn in terms of public perceptions. While there are plans for a repeat of Occupy come Summer, and into the Fall, it just may be that their time is up.
Most of the public seems to think so.

I don’t think OWS is just planning to ramp things up in the Fall. I think they are planning a full blown revolution – organized by Van Jones & Co, and the Unions, The CPA and Socialtist Party, and probably Soros. Something so distruptive that Obama may even try to use it to cancel the elections. I would not put this passed his administration. This is the life he comes from in Chicago and the company he keeps.
You’re right. Predicted and called for. See:

Now I’m finished. Know its early for youngsters, but it’s bed time for Bonzo. Will dream of Reagan quotes, like “Mr. Gorbachev tear down this wall.” Unit(Bonzo) gets up at 4 for work. Only employed two days now, so be back shortly, not as much work as I used to have, and glad I’ve had 46 years of it. Kicking the can…no,no,no… the bucket down the road, as in “kick the bucket.” Not.
The Tea Party was wildly successful. So successful that the media dared not report it accurately and so successful that the left trembles in fear. The Occupy movement was the best the left could come up with in attempts to duplicate the success of the Tea Party, propped up with the support of liberal mayors, governors, and unions. Like anything they do – it’s a failure – because when you go against the natural laws of man and nature, failure is your only option.
