Oh yes! By all means! Keep all those "storm trooper" cops outta the park! HAH ha!

$5500 Mac and they are against capitalism and want all their debt forgiven? Maybe they would not be in debt if they didn’t have so many high priced high-tech toys! More irony and hypocrisy from this bunch.

[MichaelCorleone]

Well, they say that a conservative is just a liberal who’s been raped (or in this case - robbed).

Welcome to the real world children.

>> “I had my Mac stolen — that was like $5,500”

She has a MAC??!? Damn trust fund baby has a brand new fifty-five-hunnert dollar MAC?

*I* don’t have a Mac! There are none of us more equal than any of the others of us, yet SOME of us have $5500 Macs and some of me don’t! I DEMAND a Mac! This laptop gap sucks. Right after my nap, I’m going down to occupy the Apple store. Provided the mail has been delivered by then — I think my food stamps may be coming today.

Greedy thieves stealing from greedy occupiers protesting greedy bankers.

I think it may have been Bush who did it....after all, he is solely responsible for every other “bad” thing that has happened to the USA.....ROFLMAO....

brazen crooks within their ranks have been robbing their fellow demonstrators blind, making off with pricey cameras, phones and laptops -- and even a hefty bundle of donated cash and food.

Laptops? pricy cameras, phones? Cash? What's all this capitalism doing at a commie rally?

The brazen crooks are just there to enforce the ideals of this group. From those according to their ability to those according to their need. I need a camera, you have the ability to provide me one...

[Outlaw Woman]

There’s an irony in there somewhere.

Thieves Preying On Fellow Protesters

Why would there be any surprise or even unhappiness over this informal "sharing" of material things?

Isn't their entire being, their world philosophy, the very reason they are there founded on their belief "What's yours is mine"?

Shouldn't they rejoice over this sharing of resources, wealth and material goods?

Wouldn't it be just greed that would cause one to think that they should own something that someone else, another 99%-er, does not have?

Anarchy is breaking out at an organized anarchy rally?

That was unexpected.

I had my Mac stolen -- that was like $5,500.

Good golly, what kind of Mac is that? I just spec'd out a Macbook Pro at Apple's website with the highest-end options available, and only came up with $4400.

And on the thievery in general, I'm sure many of the "protestors" are the normal homeless folk who are just cashing in on free meals and probably cheap/free drugs and booze. Leaving expensive stuff or cash lying around is just begging "steal me!"

"What's yours is mine" crowd says "Hey! That's mine!

Hmm, $5500 laptop. Sounds like they really hate capitalism, huh???

[Rumplemeyer]

It sounds like the dirty underwear gang has just had a reality check...

OWS is a graphic representation of what happens to the human body during Hopium withdrawal.

Poor hygiene, defecation on squadcars, living in the gutter, nonsensical utterances, catatonic chanting, "twinkle up" and "twinkle down" hand signals followed by tinkling in the street, petty crimes, theft, and a complete disconnect from reality. The more extreme the withdrawal, the bigger the crimes get.

This reminds me of the "Resurrection City" mess that was dumped on the park area near the Washington monument in 1968. The reflecting pool was called "Lake Urine" by the locals. Robbery, rape and murder were the order of the day.

[shoff]

Just helping the 99% of us that don’t have a $5,000 laptop.

Psst… Wanna buy a laptop cheep, almost new

“I had my Mac stolen -- that was like $5,500."

Boy, that's a lot for a computer! Assuming for the moment that it's accurate, who would bring such a pricey item out to a mass protest--one with a theme of 'economic justice' to boot? It looks like the ex-Mac owner was on the receiving end of some economic justice to me.

What did they expect? Standing out there saying and showing all their toys.
