On the six-month anniversary of the Occupy Wall Street movement, protesters swarmed its birthplace –Zuccotti Park – again sparking the cat-and-mouse clashes between New York City police officers and demonstrators.
The sweep of the park by police just before midnight capped a day of demonstrations and marching in lower Manhattan. There was no official word on the number of arrests but dozens of people were handcuffed and led out of the park.
Earlier in the day, 15 people were arrested and three officers suffered injuries, police said.
An unused public transit bus was brought in to cart away about a dozen demonstrators in plastic handcuffs.

Several arrests: A bus was brought in to remove the arrested protesters
One female under arrest apparently suffered a seizure and had difficulty breathing. She was taken away in an ambulance to be treated.
For hours, the demonstrators had been chanting and holding impromptu meetings in the park to celebrate the anniversary of the movement that has brought attention to economic inequality, as police mainly kept their distance.
But New York Police Det. Brian Sessa said the tipping point came when the protesters started breaking the park rules.
‘They set up tents. They had sleeping bags,’ he told the Associated Press. Electrical boxes also were tampered with and there was evidence of graffiti.
Det. Sessa said Brookfield Properties, the park owner, sent in security to advise the protesters to stop pitching tents and to leave the park.
The protesters, in turn, became agitated with them. The company then asked the police to help them clear out the park, the detective said.
Many protesters shouted and officers took out their batons after a demonstrator threw a glass bottle at the bus that police were using to detain protesters.

Sandra Nurse, a member of Occupy’s direct action working group, said police treated demonstrators roughly and made arbitrary arrests. She disputed the police assertion that demonstrators had broken park rules by putting up tents or getting out sleeping bags.
‘I didn’t see any sleeping bags,’ she said. ‘There was a banner hung between two trees and a tarp thrown over it … It wasn’t a tent. It was an erect thing, if that’s what you want to call it.’
She said they had reports of about 25 demonstrators arrested in the police sweep.
Protesters reconvened at the park following afternoon marches through New York’s financial district. By 11pm, roughly 300 had gathered there.
‘This is our spring offensive,’ Michael Premo, 30, of New York told Reuters. He identified himself as a spokesman for the movement.
‘People think the Occupy movement has gone away. It’s important for people to see we’re back.’
Inspired by the pro-democracy Arab Spring, the Wall Street protesters targeted U.S. financial policies they blamed for the yawning income gap between rich and poor in the country, between what they called the one per cent and the 99 per cent.
The demonstrators set up camp in Zuccotti Park on September 17 and sparked a wave of protests across the United States.

Events got under way near midday on Saturday, with street theatre troupes performing and guitar players leading sing-alongs. Some boisterous protesters marched through the streets of the financial district, chanting ‘bankers are gangsters’ and cursing at police.
As they have in past marches, protesters led police on a series of cat-and-mouse chases. Marchers at the front of the crowd would suddenly turn down narrow side streets, startling tourists and forcing police to send officers on motor scooters to contain the crowd.
‘People are concerned that they have no control over their own democracy. They have no control over their own lives. This is the beginning. This park is sacred ground for millions across the country.’
-Filmmaker Michael Moore
The movement has made headlines for its clashes with police after campsites were set up for months in cities from New York to California. The camps were eventually shut down by authorities citing zoning regulations and public health concerns.
In New York, the Occupy movement lost significant momentum in November when a pre-dawn sweep broke up the encampment at Zuccotti, although Occupy protests in Oakland, California, in January led to police firing tear gas into crowds of protesters and more than 200 were arrested.
Protester Paul Sylvester, 24, of Massachusetts said he was ‘thrilled’ to be back at the park but said he hoped the movement would begin to crystallize around specific goals.
‘We need to be more concrete and specific,’ he said.
Critics say the Occupy movement lacks direction and clear demands.
It continues to draw celebrities, however. On Saturday night, independent filmmaker Michael Moore strode through the park before the police incursion.

‘I think it’s great that this movement continues to grow,’ Mr Moore said. ‘I think the goals are clear. People are concerned that they have no control over their own democracy. They have no control over their own lives.
‘This is the beginning. This park is sacred ground for millions across the country.’
As always, the protesters focused on a variety of concerns, but for Tom Hagan, his sights were on the giants of finance.
‘Wall Street did some terrible things, especially Goldman Sachs, but all of them. Everyone from the banks to the rating agencies, they all knew they were doing wrong. … But they did it anyway. Because the money was too big,’ he said.
Dressed in an outfit that might have been more appropriate for the St. Patrick’s Day parade, the 61-year-old salesman wore a green shamrock cap and carried a sign asking for saintly intervention: ‘St. Patrick: Drive the snakes out of Wall Street.’

Stacy Hessler held up a cardboard sign that read, ‘Spring is coming,’ a reference, she said, both to the Arab Spring and to the warm weather that is returning to New York City.
She said she believes the nicer weather will bring the crowds back to Occupy protests, where numbers have dwindled in recent months since the group’s encampment was ousted from Zuccotti Park by authorities in November.
But now, ‘more and more people are coming out,’ said the 39-year-old, who left her home in Florida in October to join the Manhattan protesters and stayed through much of the winter.
‘The next couple of months, things are going to start to grow, like the flowers.’
Some have questioned whether the group can regain its momentum. This month, the finance accounting group in New York City reported that just about $119,000 remained in Occupy’s bank account – the equivalent of about two weeks’ worth of expenses.
But Ms Hessler said the group has remained strong, and she pronounced herself satisfied with what the Occupy protesters have accomplished over the last half year.
‘It’s changed the language,’ she said. ‘It’s brought out a lot of issues that people are talking about.
And that’s the start of change.’

What hideous creatures.
Those people need to get a job.
Stop raping people!
“March 17, 2012 (Lemon Grove)—Lemon Grove resident Michael John Kobulnicky, 50, a leader in the San Diego Tea Party and former regional director of the Southern California Conservative Party, is under arrest for allegedly kidnapping and raping a local woman on Fiesta Island.
“He dragged her out of the car and sexually assaulted her pretty brutally,” San Diego Police Lt. Andra Brown told ECM news partner 10 News in late February, shortly after the February 25 assault occurred.”
http://www.eastcountymagazine.org/node/9044
Oh, but that wasn’t at a tea party rally was it. Nope, just a guy who was a criminal and had certain politics. But OWS gatherings are rapefests because many many OWS creatures are criminals.
I’m opposed to rape any time or place.
Good to know you’re working to uptick the Left’s moral spectrum, Otts.

Well, thanks for sharing that tidbit, but my comment was obviously in response to your (failed) attempt to link rape to the tea party. Playing dumb now?
The Occupy movement has a growing challenge that needs immediate attention: in-house rape. As of today, there are at least 4 reported rapes in Baltimore, Cleveland, Glasgow and Dallas, the latter of which includes a14-year-old runaway girl and a convicted sex offender. I imagine there are several others, most of which have likely gone unreported—for various reasons. First, many of the police officers working Occupy movements haven’t necessarily proven themselves to be “officer friendly.” Second, not all women experience the privilege of being seen as a victim, particularly where sexual violence is involved. Third, there is inside pressure not to report rape outside of the camps for fear of bad publicity (does this sound familiar?).

March 14, 2012
A woman was raped in a tent at the Occupy camp late on Monday night or early Tuesday morning, police said.
Police said a woman went to find the victim on Tuesday afternoon because she had not seen her.
She went to the woman’s tent and called for her, but there was no answer, so she looked inside the tent and found the woman, police said.
The victim wasn’t able to respond, police said, so the witness yelled out to other Occupiers to call police and emergency medical services.
At some point, the victim told the witness she had been raped in a tent at the camp, police said.

Fortunately for America, this plan has not only failed miserably it has backfired completely. Thanks to the rise of New Media and our unwillingness to let the MSM’s lies, bias, and cover ups stand for even one more day, Occupy is in its death throes and might take the President and Democratic party down with it. First and foremost, we uncovered the lie that Occupy was grassroots and then we exposed every Occupy rape, poop, death, overdose, old woman thrown down the stairs, attack on a police officer, and public act of masturbation. In the process, public opinion turned against the Occupiers and as a result these Leftists have started doing what the Left always does when they lose … have a tantrum:

Recently, President Obama said that the Occupiers are just like the Tea Party.
That’s a lie.
Members of OWS are grotesque and vile.
Why don’t you just put a link to Breitbart.com and save yourself the trouble?
Fan of rape, eh?
Dear Woody,
Why don’t you just call him a Communist-Fascist-Socialist-New-Yorker-reading french-surrender-monkey-dirty hippie-loser-OWS-Obama-fellator-rapist and be done with it?
Didn’t you learn anything in skool?
That’s how you win a debate ever since Nero had Seneca slit his own wrists. And no one ever fucked with Nero!
Why don’t you use your regular moniker, Sock Puppet Boy?
What are you afraid of… your own convictions?
________
When I deal with clowns, I can only clown around.
You beclown yourself with your own arguments, which is then made worse by your hiding under a different name.
Everyone knows it’s you, so you might as well just stick to the beclownment you’ve wrought under the moniker “Spooky.”
Just so you know… we (the inside guys) can all see your IP address. I respect different monikers to a degree, but not if you’re just using them to be abusive.
________
I “beclown” myself.
Methinks thou dost protest too much, my dear friend.
And no one is hiding, so please, if you’re going to hack at me, do it with some integrity. Seriously, you’re just bullshitting around here, buddy.
Oh, and the real and serious point of my clowning around–in case this flew over that besotted head of yours–is that the comments I am responding too are only worthy of ridicule. As King Lear said: Dost thou call me fool, boy?!!
Hey, don’t mess with my little brother. He’s a serious old man, and I should know. I’m just as serious and genuine as the clowns on this board.
Spooky thinks rape is funny, something to clown around about.
Now, now coach, I think you should go easy on Wood. I mean, he was trying to put forward his feminist credentials!
Hey Spooks,
You’re an ass. It is so friggin’ obvious that since you questioned the wisdom of copying and pasting a Breitbart.com post right into the Ibankcoin financial column, that you must be a fan of rape. Take that!
