Verum Serum has put together a comprehensive (but NOT totally complete) list of criminal activity/arrests that have been taking place at the various OWS events around the country. It’s super handy. You can go to their site directly for all the sourcelinks, but I’ve copied and pasted the list here, which VS has conveniently arranged in order by offense.
It’s as if the OWS folks were trying to achieve some sort of record for most mayhem caused by the smallest groups. Because it’s not like we’re talking about 9/12 sized crowds here. There are a few hundred people at these things, and yet they still can’t manage to act like REGULAR LAW ABIDING NORMAL PEOPLE.
You know why? Because they’re not.
