Boston reporters went to the homes of several Boston area protesters who were arrested for blocking highways on Thursday. What they found were adult children playing revolutionary while living with their rich parents.
A reporter for WBZ-TV, Ken MacLeod was run off a property while seeking to interview protesters. At another he was told he was harassing the protester he was seeking to interview by ringing her apartment call box.
“WBZ-TV’s Ken MacLeod went to (Mark) Schwaller’s apartment in Jamaica Plain hoping for some perspective. He didn’t get that but he did get tossed by another man there.
““I need you to leave our property immediately,” the man said. “I’m sorry that’s all I have to say.”
“In Somerville, MacLeod buzzed the apartment door of protester Nicole Sullivan. On the intercom, a man said, “This is harassment please leave.”
“WBZ also went to the upscale Brookline home where protester Jim Billman lives with his parents.
““He’s not here actually,” a female voice said through the door. “He’s not giving any interviews. Please go away.””
Protest co-leader Noah McKenna gave brief separate interviews to MacLeod and a crew from WRKO-AM at his father’s house in Jamaica Plains. McKenna, who has his hair braided in long dreadlocks, answered the door wearing gym shorts, sandals and a zippered sweat shirt.
The crew from WRKO reported McKenna looked and smelled like a dirty hippie:
“…there was a little bit of a hot scent in the air.”
McKenna is an Occupy protest veteran according to reports.
McKenna was seen in photos of Thursday’s protest lying in I-93 with an arm locked in a 55 gallon drum.
An ambulance carrying a seriously injured elderly man was blocked from reaching a trauma center. McKenna blew off concerns about the man’s well-being according to WHDH-TV:
“Police and fire complained because an ambulance couldn’t get to a trauma center in Boston.
“Sean McGrath’s 83-year-old father was in that ambulance with serious head and chest injuries.
““I’m p-ed! I understand what their cause is for, but there’s better ways there has to be better ways,” McGrath said.
“When asked about the diverted ambulance, McKenna was unapologetic.
““I think it should be known that we did notify emergency personnel at the earliest possible time. We feel that our role in the traffic situation yesterday was justified by the importance of our cause,” he said.”
Amazingly McKenna’s father was quoted approving of his son’s actions on Thursday. Tim McKenna spoke to the Boston Globe:
“In Jamaica Plain, the father of one of the protesters, 28-year-old Noah McKenna, described his son as someone who has a strong sense of social justice and is trying to do the right thing.
““I want him to be safe. I want him to not hurt people, and to be peaceful,” Tim McKenna said from the front door of his home. “I support him.”
“Tim McKenna said he did not know much about the protest.”
Lawyers for people trapped in the traffic-blocking protest might want to look in to not only suing the protesters but also their deep-pocket supportive parents like Tim McKenna. WRKO reported houses in McKenna’s neighborhood are listed at Zillo in the $1.5 million range.
Like their European counterparts, America’s far-left activists are largely spoiled, lazy suburban white people with altogether too much time on their hands. Unlike their American counterparts, the Europeans are much more belligerent, violent and destructive – at least for the moment.
Young Jesus appears to live in a ‘socialist’ luxury mansion.
I was just going to mention that. I don’t think his parents are rich but I guess if you more than a nickel these days you are rich.
bttt
Should of blocked the apartment door chained to a barrel. That couldn't be considered harassment, right?
No, they’d just play the system like the gibmedats and illegals do.
Poor little rich kids down with the struggle - from their parents basements...
Poor little rich kids down with the struggle - from their parents basements...
..... They take there job very seriously .... and they do it very well ... Too bad there isn't anybody of any means to counter this very massive successful movement.
.... Their powerful propaganda machine is hard to counter.
He ‘needs’ the ten bucks an hour George Soros’s front organizations pay... Momsie and DaDee don’t want to buy his video games for him anymore.
Just don't bring it back here!
We don't approve of Doxing the useless little...miscreants.
Soro’s provides their community organizer leaders with money for lawyers to help in such lawsuits.
On a side note, I wonder if anyone has ever seriously looked into the possibility of similar outside funding for the Westboro bunch?
If you had a deadbeat, free-loading 28-year-old grown child sponging off of you, you would probably fall behind on the home repairs too. Hell, the father probably had to go to the station and bail him out the other day.
Of course, I'm not feeling sorry for the father here as he's an enabler.
This ungrateful bum is probably waiting for his "capitalist-pig" father to die so he can inherit the house and donate it to Greenpeace or something.
Rich young White libs deserve a taste of poverty to see what the dhimmies really do for the people, nothing, a least not for White people.
Somerville is not exactly High Society.
My daughter is a paramedic and she was furious at these people.
He idea was to bring in a tractor and drag the barrels to the breakdown lane. And leave them. And arrest anyone trying to access them on the Interstate. You are not allowed to walk on the Interstate.
They would be ready to have their hands cut off in a couple of days.
Throw buckets of water on them when they do this crap. They can sit and freeze or unlock and leave to get dry clothes.
When reporters turn on these paid phonies it’s over... game’s up.
Nothing unexpected here.
oh boy...

Activist Noah McKenna on why he joined Occupy Boston
http://www.metrowestdailynews.com/article/20120315/News/303159924
Mar. 15, 2012
After rallying outside the state transportation building before the meeting, the activists interrupted the start of the public comment period when Noah McKenna led the group in chant: “We say no. No hikes in public transit costs, no cuts to public transit services. No layoffs to public transit jobs. We demand a public transportation system that is accessible to all of the 99 percent for the young and the old, for the working or jobless, the able or the differently able, immigrant or native born, black, Latino, Arab, Asian and white. We are the 99 percent and we will fight for public transportation.”

McKenna also said Occupy Boston and the T Riders Union were planning a rally at the State House on April 4 – the day the board is expected to vote to approve a budget plan to close its $159 million budget gap – in solidarity with similar protests in cities around the country like Chicago and Oakland against public transportation cuts.
“No matter how much we say cuts and hikes are going to hurt our communities, we’ not talking to the right people. The people we need to talk to are in the State House, the Legislature and the governor,” McKenna said. He said deficient transportation funding is a national problem that could be solved with a fraction of the country’s defense budget.
