Occupy Wall Street protesters said yesterday that packs of brazen crooks within their ranks have been robbing their fellow demonstrators blind, making off with pricey cameras, phones and laptops -- and even a hefty bundle of donated cash and food.
“Stealing is our biggest problem at the moment,” said Nan Terrie, 18, a kitchen and legal-team volunteer from Fort Lauderdale.
“I had my Mac stolen -- that was like $5,500. Every night, something else is gone. Last night, our entire [kitchen] budget for the day was stolen, so the first thing I had to do was . . . get the message out to our supporters that we needed food!”
Thieves hang out in any big crowd--ever spent time in Europe? That doesn't mean they're part of the group--just taking advantage. If the crowds were smaller, it wouldn't be a problem.
b-b-b-b-ut tea partiers did the same thing! Wait, didn't they?
When, with a few exceptions, did they ever have the numbers to bring the pick pockets out in force? Sorry that it bursts your bubble, but there's a usually practical reason behind most problems vs some sort of conspiracy oriented, "those horrible people" message.
