A mug shot is worth a thousand words.
And these BPD mug shots from Occupy Boston tell us quite a story, namely, how greasy and dirty you’ll look if you stop bathing for weeks at a time.
Until they were run out of Dewey Square, the howling-at-the-moon hippies were protesting the fact that they can’t find jobs. And it is true that the vast majority of those lugged early Saturday morning are unemployed.
Imagine that — how could a potential employer not be bowled over by, say, Jonathan Landry Kenyon, age 19, a drifter from Freedom, Pa. Look at that Mohawk! But wait, there’s more. According to the booking sheet, he has (you’d never guess) tattoos. “Religious tattoos.”
Check out Ridgley Fuller, a no-nonsense granny from Waltham. She’s 64, a social worker who’s separated from her husband. According to newspaper stories, she’s made several trips to the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. She calls Israel an “occupying power,” and compares Israeli rule to the “Jim Crow oppression of 50 years ago.”
The last ship she went on was “The Audacity of Hope.” I wonder who she voted for in 2008. Do you suppose Noam Chomsky bailed her out?
The scariest one of the lot is Paul Schoeckert, a 23-year-old blow-in from Milwaukee. Check out those dreadlocks. Do you have any idea how long you have to not wash light-brown hair to get it to look that vile? I don’t know either, and I hope not to ever find out.
Too bad they’re not doing a remake of “Woodstock” or “Easy Rider.” Plenty of these hippies could get work as extras. This means you, John Orlando, 23, unemployed of Brookline, and Mark Pare, 25, delivery driver from Hanson.
Then there’s Mark Joyce-Shore, 25, of Randolph. He works stock at a Christmas Tree Shop, although with that scary single dreadlock, he might be better used in a Grinch exhibit. You gotta love those names you part in the middle — according to Joyce-Shore’s rap sheet, his dad was named Joyce, and his mom Shore. So they gave him both their names — how ’70s is that?
I also sense a hippie lineage for one Drake Justice Jones, 24, of Dorchester. No justice, no tents. Do you think Justice’s favorite movie is “The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance?”
The whole scurvy crew seems to have crawled out of a time machine. Check out the sideburns on Peter Johnson, the 22-year-old homeless iron worker. Can somebody say 1973 Oakland A’s?
I’m starting to think Charles Rangel may be on to something when he says we ought to bring back the draft.

The gene poool is polluted.
How does one become a drifter ? Do you have to study for it ?
One woman shown in the .pdf files on WRKO.com/Howie’s page
is named, I kid you not, Stephanie Fail. Occupy Boston FAIL
Scruffy looking is a fashion statement apparently. Over and over again in commercials some guy with long shaggy hair and a three day growth of beard will be making a pitch for something. It’s like the standard uniform. Add a baggy sweatshirt and the slob image is complete.
These nasty brutes in the mug shots look like they’re on their way to shoot commercials for insurance, autos, or fast food. Disgusting.
There's ooguly and then there's "Bow Wows."
In my younger, wilder, (USAF) days in the 60's having been stationed and traveled all over the Far East/SE Asia, I occasionally woke up next to the proverbial "Coyote Ugly" but in my worst "beer-glasses-induced" picks, I NEVER ended up with anything that even remotely resembled these skags!!!
Years ago, my brother’s company had this yearly practice of recruiting the best and brightest from a university in Alabama which had a big IT department. They agreed to fly this one kid up to Huntsville and were going to offer a substantial entry-level job with a fairly decent pay scale....more than the normal guy would get.
So this kid arrives. He’s in shorts, sandals, and a Auburn football jersey. Several of the engineers note the kid entering with the division chief, who had taken him to breakfast. There was some laughter over the kid...soon to be a graduate, and a highly promising recruit.
At the end of the day....the kid was put on the plane and flown back. They never offered him a job. If he had been in jeans and plain white shirt....he might have had a chance. With a tie and suit....he was a guaranteed hire. He frankly didn’t care how he looked and that was enough for the company to make the decision. I suspect most of the Occupy folks fall into the same category....they just don’t care.
They seem to think that looking like slobs and having poor hygiene is somehow a rebellion against an oppressive society. They expect all of the benefits of living in society, without putting out any of the effort to be a part of that society.
If only we were 20 years yonger! If the competetion is gonna absolutely lay down and die things would be pretty sweet.
Well they do care, which is worse. That kid wasn't ignorant of how he came off, he was shooting for an in your face, "take me as I am" statement. The product of too much empty affirmation.
It reminds me of several years ago when I was in line behind a 20ish kid covered in tattoos and piercings. I apparently couldn't hide my disgust, and the kid decided to lecture me on acceptance with the old refrain, "You shouldn't judge people by the way they look."
My reply took him totally off guard and was obviously something he had never heard before, "Son, I don't judge people by the way God made them, but God did not do this to you. You have spent a lot of time and money precisely in order to be judged by the way you look. You are just unhappy with the judgment." It was like I had kicked the bar stool out from under the kid. His whole life was built on a false premise.
..you follow your nose, the aroma of cooked food has that effect on panhandlers
In the fifties we called them beatniks.
In the sixties and seventies we called them hippies.
Today we should call them Neo-Marxist scum.
When a growing number of whites started exhibiting similar behavior to the permanent urban underclass (children out of wedlock, high unemployment - before the collapse), even the Dems realized welfare reform was necessary to keep the state solvent. These dirtbags don’t understand that the intergenerational welfare society has come to an end.
Sampleman, if I ever meet you, I am going to shake your hand for that gem of a retort! Great post.
If he had, he would not be attaching bits of sharp metal to the skin of his face. Because anybody who has been in a fight knows what will happen. And it's the first place anybody will punch. Facial piercings to me are a sign of massive stupidity and a real need to shout "Notice me!" to the world.
Not to mention that a very high percentage eventually get bumped, leading to an internal infection, and by the time the person knows, he or she might wind up with a massive scar right on the kisser, or a two-part eyebrow bisected by white scar tissue.
You have to read Jack Kerouac and get dharma on your bum.
