None. The protester demanding that we loot the rich, and the guy who actually looted the protester - who had more money and computers than he did - are the same. This is the face of the Gorgon that no "progressive" can gaze upon, and their rationalizations over the decades could fill books.

None.

Pickpockets as agents of "Wealth redistribution". And finding them among a group such as the "Occupiers". Makes ya wanna puke after thanking God for the NY Post for its' diligence in reporting the tough story. It must have been a bitter bullet, and I'm glad they bit it. Thanks for passing this on. I'd have been a lesser person for having not known. Even though every organization has it's crooks. Even, God forbid, volunteers in the US military (yes, some are crooks), super-patriots, politicians, both Democratic and Independent (Republicans, of course and by definition are noble, honest and trustworthy), and business people. When it comes to real, meaningful "wealth redistribution", we will have it and we can have America, or we won't have it and we will have 1950s Paraguay. For a while. And then we will have wealth redistribution. Ya gotta love it. Pickpockets as agents of “Wealth redistribution”. And finding them among a group such as the “Occupiers”. Makes ya wanna puke after thanking God for the NY Post for its’ diligence in reporting the tough story.

Obama’s stuff got “redistributed” too.
