mlmpetert 11-01-2011, 02:14 PM Unfortunately there was another rape reported, this time at Occupy Baltimore. Baltimore is the same place that started handing out pamphlets that discouraged individuals from reporting sexual assaults to the police in a effort to keep the allegations internal.
Raped and Robbed Occupy Baltimore Woman Receives No Help From ‘Activists’ | Video | TheBlaze.com (http://www.theblaze.com/stories/emotional-interview-alleged-occupy-baltimore-rape-victim-says-activists-refused-to-help/)
I think I was 1 rape short in my above post, plus there was one i missed all togather at Occupy Lawrence in Kanas.
This is the current recap of reported rapes or sexual assaults:
1 at Occupy Cleveland
1 at Occupy Dallas (statutory, 14 year old)
1 at Occupy Oakland (questionable)
3 at Occupy Wall Street (NYC), including one on a deaf man
1 at Occupy Lawrence (Kanas)
1 at Occupy Baltimore
Plus 1 at Occupy Glasgow (in the UK)
This brings the total to 8 or 9, plus 1 serial flasher that was arrested in Seattle and 1 serial groper that was arrested in NYC. Again these are a mix of reported rapes from a combination of first hand and second hand testimony, although a minimum of 4 have been reported to police. Heres a good recap of most of the assults:

Nope. Nothing was done illegally.

Nope. Nothing was done illegally.
"The prosecutor said the investigation continues and 'if and when we have sufficient evidence for a criminal case, we'll bring it.' "
Hey look. Specific violations, specific actions and all wrapped up in due process. But of course, the police & government are in the pocket of the mortgage lenders/bankers so they'll never be charged with anything.
Oh wait ...
JoeRedskin 11-01-2011, 03:16 PM Also, as a side note, the govt. is suing for civil penalties resulting from regulatory violations, they have not yet (and may never) file a criminal indictment.

Oh wait ...
I wouldn't make that mocking quote until charges actually come out of this "investigation". How many investigations have we seen with it swept under the rug? Give me a break. The only way they'll prosecute is if there is big time pressure from above or it'll advance their careers and get them elected.
It's been since 2007 and no investigation yet?

I have no problem with these people as long as they are not some right wing KKK types they are cool with me.
NC_Skins 11-01-2011, 04:24 PM This does not matter, they are American citizens.
No, what they are trying to do is associate a bunch of hooligans and morons with the Occupy movement so they can say "SEE!!....Such and such supports this movement and they are racist communist socialist bastards who are un-American!!"
The sad part. Moronic Americans will probably bite on it as well. They do with everything else.
JoeRedskin 11-01-2011, 04:38 PM I wouldn't make that mocking quote until charges actually come out of this "investigation". How many investigations have we seen with it swept under the rug? Give me a break. The only way they'll prosecute is if there is big time pressure from above or it'll advance their careers and get them elected.
It's been since 2007 and no investigation yet?
Lordy ... I am quoting your cite - A cite that explains a govt. investigation into and the govt.'s request for significant civil penalties against companies and individuals in the the finance industry AND a cite which you rely on to say that fraud/misdoing existed. So ... the fact the govt. filed a civil suit that will likely result in significant fines is evidence that fraud existed in the finance industry but it is not evidence that the govt. is actively investigating or taking actions against the finance industry?!? :frusty:
Also, it seems pretty clear that investigations have been going on - in arguing your various points you have cited to several (including this one). Some have come to fruition, some have not. Criminal investigations of white collar crime are time & document intensive - believe it or not, it takes a lot more then "cause we think so" to bring and prove criminal charges.
[As a side note, this is one of the reasons that I think white collar crimes should carry much stiffer penalities than they generally seem to - b/c of the nature of the crime, they are resource intensive and generally difficult to prove so when a conviction is secured it generally represents a significant state expenditure. As such, penalties should be much stiffer to increase the detterent value].
