...and shame on you too because you knew what I meant. My reference was to the 'Occupy Wall Street' thugs who are far left anarchists and it's a fact that some have been chared with rape and sexual assault....

Wow, you have a few isolated cases allegedly.

Got any proof this is a widespread problem within the movement, never mind one actively promoted by the leadership of the OWS movement?

Re: my earlier question, let me underscore why the links you provided can't be used to demonize the movement:

1st link: There's no indication in the story that the perp was even a protester at the OWS movement in LA and that most of the article was about tension between the mayor and the movement.

2nd link: The perp was a protester and was arrested for his alleged crime. There was no indication he was acting on any orders of the OWS leadership nor did he derive any inspiration from the OWS movement to commit the alleged crime (see recent cases of right wing violence for comparison and contrast). He will be held accountable for his individual actions if found guilty.

3rd link: This story actually discredits your attempt to link the OWS movement to any crimes committed by individuals in their camp:

From the story:
Quote:"These protests have a history of welcoming everyone and just assuming they're on your side," said David Meyer, a professor of sociology at the University of California at Irvine, who studies protest movements.

The recent reports of assaults have created a problem the "Occupy" movement is being challenged to address head-on.

...

"There is nobody working the doors at these protests," professor Meyer said. "There has to be a set of social sanctions or norms, but that's the struggle with any movement."

In other words, there are predators and criminals who will enter protest camps to commit crimes against the protesters.

Quote:Some of the measures being implemented in camps include a well-lit, female-only sleeping area and a night security watch, which numbers 15 people at any given time, Burke said.

So the movement is, in fact, taking measures to ensure the safety of their fellow protesters.

More right wing manufactured outrage.
