"I'm out here with the 99%-ers, folks."
You won't hear about this on MSNBC as they breathlessly report all the tawdry details of the Herman Cain accusations and pronounce him guilty as charged. Apparently, as talking heads like Ed "Butter and Egg Man" Schultz did their shows live from the Occupy Wall Street protests, a bunch of real sexual predators were doing their thing a few feet away all under the eyes of an MSNBC film crew.

Contrary to the insinuations of Gary Fouse, even the Fox News reporting is pretty clear that sincere volunteers are being targeted by predators attracted for the purpose of predation, not by the lofty ideals of the movement.
ReplyDeleteThe organizers are inexperienced sheep. Anyone who has spent significant time in any sort of community or labor organizing knows that every mooch and number runner for ten miles around will find their way to your door. Either you have a firm process for dealing with them, or they will walk out with the store, and perhaps grab a little a-- on their way to the door.
Maybe it is time for a bit of Leninist discipline to reign in this stuff. Nah, we don't want that. Well, even a half-way organized protest march had volunteer marshalls who knew how to keep the march within defined bounds, and keep the bad guys out of those bounds. Hasn't happened yet. I hope they learn how to do it soon.
