Thieves preying on fellow protesters (Occupy Wall Street)
NY Post ^ | October 18, 2011 | LARRY CELONA, LAURA ITALIANO REBECCA HARSHBARGER, FRANK ROSARIO and JAMIE SCHRAM

Occupy Wall Street protesters said yesterday that packs of 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.

“Stealing is our biggest problem at the moment,” said Nan Terrie, 18, a kitchen and legal-team volunteer from Fort Lauderdale.

“I had my Mac stolen -- that was like $5,500. Every night, something else is gone. Last night, our entire [kitchen] budget for the day was stolen, so the first thing I had to do was . . . get the message out to our supporters that we needed food!”

Crafty cat burglars sneaked into the makeshift kitchen at Zuccotti Park overnight and swiped as much as $2,500 in donated greenbacks from right under the noses of volunteers who’d fallen asleep after a long day whipping up meals for the hundreds of hungry protesters, the volunteers said.

The battery life on that thing must be amazing! Or is it solar powered?

Assuming she's talking about a laptop, the most expensive new MacBook Pro, with all the upgrades and accessories, including more cables and support services than anyone would ever order, is less than $4,300.

Forgot Software costs.

...$5,500?! I couldn’t ever have dreamed up anything as stupid as this Occupy bologna and the scum that represents it. The hypocrisy within that one sentence is mind boggling!

No, I didn’t. Unless she’s an idiot (what am I saying?) she didn’t take all of her installer discs and serial numbers down to the protest. Those can be reloaded on her replacement laptop . . . if she can convince her insurance company of the price tag.

*********************************************

Gotta be the quote of the year from these frauds.

I suspect that quote will be on a "Demotivational" poster before this thread fizzles out.

Security volunteer Harry Wyman, 22, of Brooklyn was furious about the thievery -- and vowed to get tough with the predatory perps.

Security... volunteer????

HAHAHAHA!!!!

Someone should check his tent and backpack. Who better placed to know what can be ripped off when than a security guard? Now, when that security guard is an "unpaid volunteer", things get a bit "sniffy".

Know your hippies. You have to look at the provenance. The computer was owned by Abbie Hoffman, so that adds another $1,200 to the value.

What they mean is that for you and me "posesion" is a crime. As long as they have the "possessions" it is ok.

As for the $5500 apple,Mom and dad's trust fund of r the government paid for it. You can bet your ass that the parasite did not pay for it with the fruit of his/her labor.

As far as the future of this one goes, they are only one more that will be lined up against a wall and shot once they accomplish their purpose for their masters.

Our ‘President’ is openly supporting these parasites.

Plagiarizing me from elsewhere:

“O” and these protesters are united in their message to working America.... which is STILL the majority of Americans.

Their message is: ‘You will work now and you will work for the rest of your lives for NOTHING.... you CANNOT save, you CANNOT invest, you CANNOT improve your condition, you CANNOT support yourself, you CANNOT earn or possess wages at your own discretion, you CANNOT consolidate your gains, you CANNOT bequeath to your children...etc.’

Liberals sent THAT wrong message for the last 5 decades and it is just as wrong NOW. Only NOW, they have made it an imperative and presented it as an ‘or else’ kind of blackmail. Give us your money or we will burn your house down!!!!

Guess what? Working America sees this for the desperate and illicit method it is!! “O” is toast!

...”Redistrubution of wealth in a different even though illegal way”...

This is what the “Occupiers” want for society..The only difference is that they want to use government as their thief.
