#OccupyWallSt Poster Boy A Trust Fund Baby, Attempted Stowaway At JFK
BreitbartTV ^ | 10/15/2011 | Staff

Posted on 10/16/2011 7:34:29 PM PDT by Just4Him

A Breitbart.tv investigation has uncovered that the man whose epic meltdown video at the "Occupy Wall Street" protests went viral is really Edward T. Hall III. Mr. Hall is a Columbia graduate student who has a trust fund set up by his grandfather. He recently made headlines for trying to board a flight at JFK airport by hopping the ticket counter and diving onto the baggage carousel. He was charged with trespassing and is free on "conditional release."

Ah, so this is who Obama and Pelosi are siding with in their stand against free markets.

Edward Hall III, a behavioral economics researcher at the University, was on his way to San Francisco on United when he realized he forgot his photo ID. Fittingly, a TSA official refused to let him pass through security without an ID, so Hall took matters into his own hands when he reportedly asked the official, “Can you put me in a suitcase and send me down the baggage belt?”

When the agent refused, Hall jumped onto the baggage belt in an apparent effort to be slid through to the plane via baggage security. Hall was arrested roughly 20 minutes later close to the tarmac saying to cops, “I just wanted to make my flight.”

Slap a bag tag on him and run him into the baggage compartment, nature will take care of the rest.

My interpretation of what he wrote is that he doesn't like the way people think or act, and he is trying to figure out a way to change them.

Typical liberal megalomania.

In a sense, we all try to “change” people, but he is not talking about reasoned discourse appealing to rational interest, at least, that is how it appears to me. His assumptions are that things are bad because people are the way they are, and that he and others like him need to change people so that they will make the decisions that he approves of.

I couldn’t make heads nor tails of what he was studying from the description. I read it twice.

It’s like someone opened a dictionary, found some words that sounded impressive and just copied them down. It’s like something some of my students would have done when asked to write a report about something they knew nothing about and were too lazy to actually do any work on. Just copy some big words and string them together.
I am actually starting to think the part about forgiveness of student loans make sense. If this is what passes for a college degree, who would want to repay what you paid for it? Only I think the Universities should be the ones to repay the loans. I think the Govt should be clawing the money back from THEM since they are clearly cheating the consumers as they are selling them an inferior (worthless) product.

Does anyone have any WTF he's talking about?

I haven't got a clue but it does sound a lot like the rantings Jared Loughner had on his website. Must be a college kid thing.

This boy is a prime example of what happens when mommy and daddy tell him continously that he is brilliant without ever requiring him to actually do anything that requires brilliance... Or even a slight ability. At 24 years of age, he now believes the lie himself, and considers himself so important that he truly believes everyone should listen to him because he is "so smart."

As my father would have said: "A legend in his own mind."

This is precisely the type of individual that will break down, cry and ask "What happened?" when he about to get shot during CWII by someone that finds him less than useful... I can just hear him now: "It's not supposed to be like this! Wait, you don't understand! It's supposed to work out for all of us! I know it is because, because..." BANG! BANG! BANG!

“Where is his family?”

They probably disowned him years ago.
Once he turned 18, the trust was probably turned over to him.
He took it and fled most likely.

You might be right. For example, what the hell does this mean?

I wish to develop socially based interventions to help moderate excessive discounting.

What....he's against coupons?
