NYC arrest records: Many Occupy Wall Street protesters live in luxury

BIG SUPRISE!! The ObamaFags "occupying" Wall Street are for the most part rich little white college kids who blame "the system", "the Banks" and YOU because their degrees in Drama and Sociology left them in debt and worthless to our economy.
Of course, they want handouts. They will NEVER blame the consumerism and materialism that lead people to buy homes they couldn't afford and they will never blame themselves for not getting marketable job skills while wasting tens of thousands of dollars a year on "higher learning".
The protests are a theatrical charade. The kids are dupes and the media-government complex hopes to use their criticism to expand the role of government.
What a sad bunch of misguided shitheads.
"Many “Occupy Wall Street” protesters arrested in New York City reside in more luxurious homes than some of their rhetoric might suggest, a Daily Caller investigation has found.
For each of the 984 Occupy Wall Street protesters arrested in New York City between September 18 and October 15, police collected and filed an information sheet recording the arrestee’s name, age, sex, criminal charge, home address and — in most cases — race. The Daily Caller has obtained all of this information from a source in the New York City government.
Among addresses for which information is available, single-family homes listed on those police intake forms have a median value of $305,000 — a far higher number than the $185,400 median value of owner-occupied housing units in the United States.
Some of the homes where “Occupy” arrestees reside, viewed through Google Maps and the Multiple Listing Service real estate database, are the definition of opulence.
Using county assessors and online resources such as Zillow.com, TheDC estimated property values and rents for 87 percent of the homes and 59 percent of the apartments listed in the arrest records.
Even in the nation’s currently depressed housing market, at least 95 of the protesters’ residences are worth approximately $500,000 or more. (RELATED SLIDESHOW: Opulent homes of the ’99 percent’)
The median monthly rent for those living in apartments whose information is readily available is $1,850
Of the 984 protesters arrested, at least 797 are white. The median age of “Occupy” protesters taken into custody is 27 years.
Ten demonstrators were arrested more than once. The vast majority of the arrests, it should be noted, were for nonviolent offenses.
The arrest intake documents show that arrestees came to New York from all over the country but particularly from the Northeast.
Criminal charges ranged from “loitering while wearing a mask” and “failure to move along” to “violent behavior” and other more serious charges such as “assault 2 [second-degree assault] caus[ing] physical injury to police [or] firemen.” There was also one charge of “sex abuse 3 [third-degree].” Hundreds were arrested on October 1 for obstructing traffic on the Brooklyn Bridge.
While it would not be fair to conclude that the arrested protesters are fully representative of a movement that is not completely understood, this information forms the most complete snapshot yet of the demonstrations’ more militant participants.
It also reinforces the persistent critique of protesters as entitled, upper-class agitators with few legitimate grievances.
London’s Daily Mail newspaper, for example, recently highlighted signs of wealth among the throngs in Zuccotti Park.
“Sleeping beside the hardcore activists are increasing numbers of wealthy students turning up to make the most of the party atmosphere, drugs and free food,” reporters Paul Bentley and Micela McLucas wrote in October. “While they dress down to blend in, the youngsters’ privileged backgrounds are revealed by glimpses of expensive gadgetry or the absent minded mention of their private schools during heated political debates.”
“I think that it’s accurate to say that our supporters come from all backgrounds,” Patrick Bruner, the operator of OccupyWallStreet.org, a website dedicated to help organize and spread information about the protests, told TheDC when asked about participants from wealthier backgrounds. “That said, a (non-random) survey on our site revealed that our visitors literally are the 99% in regards to economic realities.”
The national median home value of $185,400 reflects U.S. Census statistics from the years 2005 through 2009, the last year data were available.
TheDC was able to estimate home values and apartment rents for 659 of the 972 residences. Thirteen were in university dormitories; six were post office boxes; four were addresses in foreign countries. Many addresses proved to be nonexistent, and a few were not provided to police.

A serious revolt by the "workers", the real 99% would have a very different appearance and effect than this leftist media circus.
The general strikes and street action like you see in Europe would be closer to reality, not a bunch of early 20 somethings and other perpetually immature losers trying to out-cute each others signs and beating drums like faggots.
The effect of these dbags skipping work to "occupy" is negligible and non-existant. Their "workplace" (if they have one) and society do not miss them.
These are drama pussies who are probably following the lead of their self-consumed lefty parents and grandparents who glorified their stupidity in the 60's.

The NYPD has allegedly come up with an ingenious way to sabotage the Occupy Wall Street protest in lower Manhattan: Just send drunks and homeless people down there!
The increased presence of homeless drug addicts and drunks has been causing tension in Zuccotti Park. Apparently the amount of "freeloaders" caused the Occupy Wall Street kitchen to scale back operations for a few days in protest. The Daily News today reports that the place has basically become divided between "real" occupy wall street protesters on the east, and the homeless riffraff on the West: There is now a "wrong side of the tracks" at Zuccotti Park.

"Among addresses for which information is available, single-family homes listed on those police intake forms have a median value of $305,000 — a far higher number than the $185,400 median value of owner-occupied housing units in the United States."
That's actually about 30% below the median price of homes in the New York City Metropolitan area, the area from which the OWS draws its participants.

I would guess that the people demonstrating have built up little or no equity if they actually own homes in the area.

The first wave of Occupiers were Trots, Maoists, and other Marxist
groups. After that, the Reactionaries joined in and then the
homeless starting hanging for the free food, drugs, and sex. The
next phase will be for the gays to show up in large numbers. Same
old, same old. Soros footing the bill.

The first wave of Occupiers were Trots, Maoists, and other Marxist
groups. After that, the Reactionaries joined in and then the
homeless starting hanging for the free food, drugs, and sex. The
next phase will be for the gays to show up in large numbers. Same
old, same old. Soros footing the bill.

"The NYPD seems to have crossed a line in recent days, as the park has taken on a darker tone with unsteady and unstable types suddenly seeming to emerge from the woodwork. Two different drunks I spoke with last week told me they'd been encouraged to "take it to Zuccotti" by officers who'd found them drinking in other parks, and members of the community affairs working group related several similar stories they'd heard while talking with intoxicated or aggressive new arrivals."

Johnson if you live in NY why are you posting on this forum I call Bullshit.
The homeless were going to end up there anyway. Free food draws them in. I thought this was a communal society. Why should they care if they share with the less fortunate thats what this whole rally is about? I'm starting to think their message is empty.

Wow. I guess people who come from wealthier families have no right to try to better things for those less fortunate who aren't born with the privileges they were.
