Newly sprung ex-cons and vagrants rousted from other parks are crashing the Occupy Wall Street protest, where gourmet meals are free and boozy, drug­fueled parties are on tap, the movement’s leaders griped yesterday.

“They’re telling people who leave prison to go to Zuccotti Park,” lamented Daniel Zetah, a leader of the OWS community-relations group.

Volunteer Lauren Digioia, 26, said, “We have drug dealing going on here, gang activity, public intoxication. There are a lot of instigators. There are a lot of vultures.

“Everyone knows we give out free food and sleeping bags, and it’s a perfect opportunity for squatters.”

The pickpockets are really good in New York.

That's why I carried a purse with fake stuff in it and my ID and money in my shoes.

Who is paying for the free food and sleeping bags?

I thought these protestors called themselves “the 99”. Certainly ex-cons fall in the 99%, no? Perhaps, since the protestors seem to have distain for ex-cons, bums, squatters, homeless and others at the bottom of the barrel; they need to relabel themselves from “the 99” to “the 10% off 99”.

Those crazy undercover Jew Bankers and their Amish friends(who enslave horses) are spoiling everything on purpose to discredit and disrupt the remaking of society.

NOW, I’m getting enough irony in my diet...

Hysterical. Absolutely hysterical.

[wilco200]

Which came first the 99% or the 9-9-9 % ?

[Cyber Liberty]

Yes!

[tet68]

Baah, you can’t even see where it came from...

It certainly didn’t come from the officer highlighted.

[EDINVA]

I literally laughed out loud when I read it!

ACORN from what I’m reading. O, the irony.

This will go down in history as one of the dumbest things ever said.

“Everyone knows we give out free food and sleeping bags, and it’s a perfect opportunity for squatters.” - OWS protester who himself is receiving free food and sleeping bags while squatting in a NYC park.

You could put this statement next to the word “irony” in the dictionary.

“Everyone knows we give out free food and sleeping bags, and it’s a perfect opportunity for squatters.”

And they completely miss the irony of that statement.

 Dude, that just about broke my irony meter. Now I have to have it recalibrated.

[Mr. K]

"...where gourmet meals are free and boozy,"

Who is PAYING for all this??? Is there not one single journalist looking into that?

[GOPJ]

“Everyone knows we give out free food and sleeping bags, and it’s a perfect opportunity for squatters.”

And they completely miss the irony of that statement.

LOL - you're right - totally and completely miss it...

If the idealistic useful idiots are 'taken and abused' long enough, they'll come over to the Tea Party... Maybe Occupy works for us in the long run.

ACORN - a dirty little scheme

Now they know how we, the taxpaying public, feels.

This is worse, irony-wise, than their complaints about thefts & rape earlier.

[Mr. K]

Let’s all go crash it this weekend and eat all their food and take some sleeping bags
