“Occupy” Protester Busted For Stealing Neighbor’s Furniture For Florida Encampment

Meet Jeffrey Scott.

The 32-year-old “Occupy Pensacola” protester was arrested yesterday on felony burglary and larceny charges for allegedly robbing a neighbor’s home of furniture that he used at the protest group’s encampment outside City Hall.

Scott was nabbed shortly after victim Ned English called police to report the theft of a couch, a recliner, four wicker chairs, and four couch cushions from his home, according to an Escambia County Sheriff’s Office report.

When questioned by a deputy, Scott stated, “Yes, I took the furniture. I was going to give it back, but haven’t had a chance to.” Scott, investigators noted, admitted entering English’s home through a rear window, taking the furniture, and using some of the purloined items “at the Occupy Pensacola Camp located at City Hall.”

Scott, pictured in the above mug shot, is being held in lieu of $20,000 bond in the county jail. Arrest records list the Virginia native's occupation as "nutritional aid."

“This camp is my camp
and this camp is your camp
From the wicker chairs
to the four couch cushions
This camp was made for me by ye”...

Seriously... he doesn’t even use his OWN furniture? He’s got to steal the neighbor’s? Who does that?

I saw one Occupy Protestor with a sign that said, “What’s yours is mine”. I guess this guy must’ve seen that same sign.

Congratulations. You just confessed to a felony. I don't know which is dumber. Committing it? Or confessing it and rationalizing it? You invaded this man's home, and took his stuff.

How was this dipshit able to make it to age 32?

Good one from the comments section:

Ichigo MaCleod · Pensacola, Florida What I want to know, is whatever happened to "Innocent until proven guilty"? The article even says he "allegedly" robbed the place. Not that he was convicted. Yet so many people are quick to judge him...All because of conflicting political views.

I guess the guy saying, "Yes, I took the furniture" is not enough for Itchy.

I am sure that this kind of action is consistent with the goals of the OWS crowd. They want to be given everything, or just take what they like.

It was a safe bet to steal a neighbor's couch, recliner, wicker chairs, and couch cushions just in case they were destroyed by the weather, unclean behavior, infested with fleas and other vermin, or removed and disposed of by the authorities. After all, the alleged perp had the good intentions of returning the goods. Good intentions count for Democrats; part of their play book.

Cool, I am willing to share bullets as long as he doesn’t complain on how he receives them.
