...Weird Street, a narrow patch of grass on the camps periphery so named by the sections inhabitants. Weird Street is where many of the homeless, mentally ill, alcohol abusers and drug addicts have made their home. Most people I spoke to estimated that these people make up about half of the camp. In the 60's, this movement would have been named "Occupy State Mental Hospital".

Luckily, its unseasonably mild when I arrive on site a few days after Thanksgiving. The first person I meet is a 28-year-old named Drake with baggy rave-style gear and a pointy gemstone stud in his lip. Hes riding a stationary bicycle that has been hooked up to a power generator by MIT graduate students and playing a didgeridoo that he brought to campand hes having a fantastic time. Even the police like this bike, he says in a thick New England accent. They say oh my gawd, thats so imaginative! Every John Wayne WWII movie set in the Pacific had a little Filipino guy riding a bike to power the radio. And now these clowns think they invented it? Doesn't sound like History Majors; probably gender studies or Poli-Sci.

Just give ‘em a couple months in their self-created “utopia” and they’ll implode all on their own.
oh wait....that’s already happened.
Doncha love how one of the leaders featured, “John”, owes everything he has to his fathers hard work and premature death.

I think they have gone too far with assuming the public thinks capitalism is immoral. US capitalism has fostered the best living standard around. Even the “poor” have housing and cell phones.

"John wont say the word, but its clear that hes the de facto leader of Occupy Boston. When he talks, other Occupiers listen." This reminds me of the role played by Luke Askew in the movie "EASY RIDER".
There's always the one guy who is waaay cooler than everyone else. He cruises above the turbulence, takes advantage of the work the others do, stops by now and then with a bag of goodies or to make it with his choice of the female flock. These guys have a way of appearing and stepping up to a place of reverence where they lord over the minions but never get tarnished, beaten, or arrested. They enjoy everything pleasurable or sensational and avoid any this bad.

Orwell’s ‘’Animal Farm’’ pales in comparison to this. Never in all my life as an American could I ever have imagined anything so stupid, so utterly and entirely ignorant and clueless coming to fruition as these idiots. As I’ve said here before this is the cumulative result of some forty years of public school education, or more to the point, brainwashing. Marxist and socialist teachers and professors as well as hippie parents have taught an entire generation of kids that they’re entitled, violently so if they deem it necessary , to someone else’s wealth/property and possessions simply by virtue of their demanding it in the name of ‘’social and economic justice’’. That these morons can’t ever form a coherent message or any kind of effective organization with leadership is the opportune time to eliminate them, i.e, send the cops in everywhere they are and chase them out cracking a few skulls, literally, along the way so they get the message that anywhere they decide to camp out and start up their lawlessness they’ll be dealt with and nipped in the bud quickly. This nonsense has got to stop.

One knowledgeable idiot, mendacious occupier estimated that as many as 10,000 1,000 people have been involved, in some way or another, with Occupy Boston. Clearly unintentional typos there...
