Cantabrigians arrested – ain’t that rich?

I have some bad news for the 99 percenters down at Occupy Boston.

Comrades, I fear you have been infiltrated by the one percent, the super rich.

I have been studying the Boston police reports, and most of these hippies, er revolutionaries, are from the ’burbs. Not the city, but the bosky dells, especially Cambridge.

Ever hear of Dunster Street, comrade? It’s right there in the middle of Harvard Square. The cops early Monday lugged a resident of 101 Dunster St., age 23, and he was “white non-Hispanic.” But then, aren’t all of the 99 percent?

Oppressors. It’s odd, too. Those arrested are almost all under 25 ... or over 55.

Did you hear Mayor Mumbles Menino yesterday morning? He was trying to say something nice about the spoiled rich kids crowding his jails. He began by saying, “These are hard-wo —” But then he corrected himself, describing them as concerned citizens or some such thing.

Here’s another lad, age 20, white non-Hispanic naturally, and he lists his address as 208 Lowell Mail Center, Cambridge. That’s a funny street address, no?

I Googled it and it came back to the Lowell House, on the campus of Harvard University. It’s described on the Crimson Web site as a “lovely neo-Georgean building” with a tower that “contains a set of Russian Bells that come from the St. Danilov Monastery in Moscow.”

Did I mention that “each suite has a ‘private’ bathroom.” Unlike the Nashua Street Jail.

I’m sure they all took the Red Line into the city. After all, they don’t call it the Red Line for nothing. Despite their protestations about the injustice of the American economic system, it appears that few of the suburbanites from the 781 and 508 area codes are going hungry. Here’s a 20-year-old child from Needham, 6 feet tall, 230 pounds. Maybe he can take off a few pounds if he has to eat jail food for a while.

Another Cantabrigian lugged: This one’s 34 years old, from Suffolk Street. I’ll bet I’ve seen him running a red light on his bicycle on Mass Ave. He, too, weighs 230, and has “part-grey” hair. Being a hippie will prematurely age you, especially in this economy.

Here’s another Cambridge resident, age 21, from Sacramento Street. That’s a little north of the campus, Porter Square territory. His first name is “Jasper.” Not too many townies from North Cambridge named Jasper. He is, needless to say, a white male.

You have to love their signs. How about “Corporate Greed is Not My Creed.” No, it doesn’t have to be, if Mumsy and Pater set up a trust fund for you and are willing to pay $50,000-plus a year to send you to Harvard — plus bail money.

Just confirmed my suspicions. Trust fund babies trying to cut off the arm that feeds them. All this paid for by their Capitalist Pig Parents.

They don’t call it the Red Line for nothing. HaHaHaHa!!!
