Occupy activists around the nation claim that their movement is a peaceful one. However, details in police reports and provided by police sources demonstrate a pattern of lawlessness–including violent crime–at Occupy protests throughout the United States.
Sources tell Breitbart.com that there have been more than 1,050 arrests in New York City alone, involving a variety of crimes from sexual assault to disorderly conduct.
Here’s a list of the ten worst crimes allegedly committed at Occupy demonstrations across the country:
NEW YORK, NY: A 26-year old was arrested today for an alleged sexual assault upon an 18-year old female that took place on October 24 in Zuccotti Park, where the Occupy Wall Street protest is based. NYPD Police sources said that detectives are investigating a separate incident involving a possible rape.
BOSTON, MA: On October 21, a 34-year old man and a 31-year old woman were arrested for allegedly trying to sell heroin in the Tent City area of Occupy Boston. The two suspects were reportedly living there with a child. Upon arrest, Brown told officers he had moved into Tent City three weeks prior, and had joined the Occupy Boston movement.
MANCHESTER, NH: A 23-year old woman was charged with felony prostitution for trying to solicit a 16-year old girl she met in Victory Park during the Occupy Manchester demonstrations. She also allegedly tried, through the Internet, to arrange a liaison for the minor with a man who was actually an undercover police officer.
MADISON, WI: An incident involving public masturbation allegedly occurred at the Occupy Madison protest result. The allegation was raised by a public official during a City Council meeting after complaints came from nearby employees, and although a complaint was not filed with police, the city has denied an application by the movement to renew its permit as a result.
NEW YORK, NY: On October 28, a 31-year old man allegedly threatened a Fox News Channel 5 reporter. The suspect was arrested at the corner of Trinity Place and Cedar Street, and has been charged with Grand Larceny, Menacing, Harassment and Criminal Possession of a Weapon.
DALLAS, TX: A convicted sex offender participating in the Occupy Dallas demonstrations was arrested last week after allegedly sexually assaulting a 14-year old girl who was staying in the protestors’ encampment. The girl, who was a runaway from Garland, told investigators she had sex with the suspect after she had told him that she was 19 years old.
