(5,420 posts)first, I was there. There was an act of rape or secual assault.
The police would tell any homeless found at other parks and anyone getting released from jail to go on down to Zucotti for free food and free speech, in one of their lame attempts to oust us and have us accused of crime to turn the public from us. So there were plenty of people there who were just taking advantage of the sleeping supplies and meals and gave not a rats ass about the occupy. There was nothing that could be done about it. The jail released people told us that they were informed to go there.
When the woman was assaulted, the story I kept hearing was that the police refused to take action. While I was there the man, the man who did the assalt, had his picture shown around camp with instructions to report him if seen anywhere near there and to not let him in the camp.
So that does not seem to me like Occupy endorsed or caused the violence.
Secondly, you have heard the rumor about Brietbart & Okeefe's set up occupy rape story by now right? Don't yet know if that is true but I can vouch for at least what I saw at Occupy.
