    COMMENTARY | The Occupy Wall Street protests started by Canadian malcontents has made a difference.

    Many are dead or injured, others have third world diseases, while still others have been raped. Hatred has been spewed and unsanitary conditions prevail as these people defecate where they sleep.

    The protests have been joined by like-minded left wing organizations such as the Communist Party USA and the American Nazi Party, as reported in the article Sexual Assault, Thefts and Hate Plague Occupy Movement.

    A man was murdered at the scene of the Occupy Oakland protests, after which news media was attacked and protestors allowed the shooter to flee, as reported by Media Bistro.

    Protestors claimed there was no relation between the suspect nor the victim to the protests, which later proved untrue, as reported by the New York Post.

    Reports of drug overdoses abound, such as the cases of a woman in the Vancouver protests as reported by CBC, and a man in Salt Lake City, reported the American Thinker.

    Then there is the man who wanted to assassinate the president. Oscar Ramiro Ortega-Hernandez was arrested Nov. 16, charged with firing an assault rifle at the White House in an attempt to kill Barack Obama. Ortega-Hernandez had been seen several times at the Washington Mall where the Occupy DC protests are taking place, according to the Examiner and ABC News.

    Protestors again claimed there was no connection. This was also the case with a man who died inside a protestors tent at Occupy Bloomington, as shown in the Gateway Pundit.

    CBS reports the Occupy San Francisco protests are plagued with fleas as well as head and body lice. The report shows that health and safety officials fear an outbreak of disease due to unsanitary conditions such as the outbreak of tuberculosis at Occupy Atlanta.

    Are officials waiting for a recurrence of leprosy before they shut this down?

    Add to this several rapes such as those that occurred in Philadelphia (ABC News) and Cleveland as well as a man masturbating in front of children in Seattle (Yahoo! News) and many others, these protests are becoming nothing short of a crime spree.

      This article is total garbage and full of lies that have been disproved. The white house shooter? Investigators found NO link to Occupy D.C. as reported by the Washington Post.

      The TB outbreak at Occupy Atlanta? Turned out to be two homeless people who had just been released from jail and didn't even visit the floor in the building where the occupation was taking place.

      Oh, the camps have head lice? So do third grade classrooms.

      Trying to link OWS to the American Nazi Party is pathetic and calling them left wing is ridiculous. The ANP is also against the Iraq war. Does that mean that anyone else who is against the war is linked with neo-nazis.

      John Hull is a liar and a bigot. His articles are trash and full of outright lies and disinformation. They're not even written well. How this idiot got published is beyond me. He's not fit to write for the National Inquirer.

      You know...I was hoping something good would come of this movement. Even though I think....and I'm not sure because they don't know themselves, I was hoping something would be accomplished by this. .........unfortunately very little, and I do mean VERY little has been accomplished by this movement. Come on people, if you want this to work, it has to be reasonable, it has to have credibility, it has to be understood by the masses......the only message is very negative. You might want to re-group and try to organize a little better the next time.

        Oh, I get it now, if Leftists don't agree with something, they assume it's fiction. They probably don't even bother clicking on any links in articles like this, because they don't want to subject themselves to any cognitive dissonance that might occur when the facts are spelled out. That explains why so many Leftists like OWS even though they're filthy law-breakers.
    • Dave G  •  Pinole, United States  •  6 mths ago
      @ renegade1970 The American way of life? Guess what? It's broken. And we are going to fix. We are not talking about communism. We are talking about getting money out of politics, fixing the banking sytstem, supporting public education and making people pay their fair share for our country? Attend an Occupy Movement and see for yourself. Capitalism as we know it has failed and it s time for something new.@ Mr. Hull the writer of this article. This is piece of crap. Do some research and learn the facts.
    • Ted  •  East Hampton, United States  •  6 mths ago
      I hope you don't have a fire cause the socialist fire department won't put out the fire

      Hey John Hull, apparently whatever journalism degree you got (if you even have one) didn't teach you much about checking your facts adequately. "Ortega-Hernandez had been seen several times at the Washington Mall where the Occupy DC protests are taking place, according to the Examiner and ABC News."-The two DC camps are in Freedom Plaza on Pennsylvania Ave and McPherson Square on K St. Neither are anywhere near the National Mall. If all you are going to do is write bullshit that is not backed up by facts (instead of relying solely on right-wing outlets try some real ones like the New York Times or the Washington Post) Or maybe, just maybe do your own research instead of this sad attempt of an opinion piece. Iv'e seen better work from my high school newspaper.
    • KATHLEEN  •  Elmhurst, United States  •  6 mths ago
      Republicans, like Mr. Hull, offer nothing to make this a better country. They lie, they hate, they will do anything to gain or stay in power. So I ask that anyone reading this please, get involved in the political process. Back candidates that support your interests and issues.
    • Stephen  •  Philadelphia, United States  •  6 mths ago
      This kind of nonsense makes me embarrassed for the author. People can visit Occupy sites and see for themselves.
    • Scott  •  Kansas City, United States  •  6 mths ago
      Great job John Hull. Your contributions to the Ministry of Propaganda are appreciated. It's not your fault these proletarians can think for themselves. Disease, crime, drugs that should be enough to dissuade our audience from revolt. Godspeed...
    • danny  •  6 mths ago
      If you start in the center of the political spectrum and go left you have socialism, then communism, then nazis, and finally msnbc.
    • Babe  •  6 mths ago
      I don't have to agree with them to know that our constitution is on the line here. They have a right peaceably assemble and express their grievences! Our Founders lost their lives to ensure our liberties under our constitution! What a pantie-waist idea saying the movement is a dangerous health risk! What about dangers our founders went through to win freedom for this nation!
    • Paul  •  Philadelphia, United States  •  6 mths ago
      Protests probably will not end til change in 2012
    • Matthew  •  Boston, United States  •  6 mths ago
      John Hull has been seen on airplanes. He claims he has no terrorist ties.

      What an absolute douchebag. This guy is a joke.
    • Ted  •  East Hampton, United States  •  6 mths ago
      A California university placed two of its police officers on administrative leave Sunday because of their involvement in the pepper spraying of passively sitting protesters, while the school's chancellor accelerated a task force's investigation into the incident amid calls for her resignation.
    • A Yahoo! User  •  6 mths ago
      How can you possibly link the shooter at the White House to the Occupy protests? How much are you being paid to write this stuff?
    • dallasbolen  •  Beckley, United States  •  6 mths ago
      So, this is what Yahoo has come to... Craig, no degree is required to "contribute", but maybe it should be. The author of this right-wing statement is nothing more than a handmaiden to the offending party. All Americans are entitled to the right to voice your opinions, but I would think that an educated opinion would bear more weight than the spewing of filth for a price based on page views. Pay no attention, anyone can contribute to Yahoo for peanuts. Real writers demand a higher salary.
