Allegedly ‘Drunk Businessman’ Goes Ballistic on Occupy Wall St. Protesters

Are the 1 percenters finally coming out to defend themselves against the self-described 99 percenters? Earlier today, we brought you information about an interesting counter-movement that some business owners are working on. Then, we came across a video that shows a different kind of response to the Occupiers.
An Occupy protester has captured footage of a man, who is described by the person who posted the video as “drunk.” In the clip, the film’s subject can be seen going ballistic on protesters. A description accompanying the video, which was posted by YouTube user H0wie99, reads:
While on my way to the subway from Zuccotti park, I ran into a drunk guy in a suit drinking out of a brown bag (which he smashes on the ground a few seconds in). This goes to show that those drunk on power and wealth tend to not make the best decisions, as he tries to provoke two men in their sixties.
Now, there’s no way to be sure that this man is wealthy. Also, there‘s no way to confirm that he’s a member of the so-called 1 percent. The only information the cameraman went on was that he was dressed in a suit and stood vehemently opposed to the Occupy movement.
The clip opens with the man cursing and yelling, saying, “I don’t want to see this fu**ing sh*t,” referring to the protest. It looks as though he grabbed signs out of Occupiers’ hands and at one point toward the beginning clip it looks — and sounds — like he smashed something (perhaps this is the bottle referenced in the video’s description?).
Predictably, the person taping the purported 1 percenter’s outburst says, “The whole world is watching you,” as the man screams incessantly for the Occupiers to “get the f**k out of here!”
At the end of the clip, the man walks away, but not without getting up close, aggressive and personal with the protesters. Watch the scene, below (caution: language):

Posted on November 19, 2011 at 4:27pmEven besides the obviously piss poor and inconsistent acting (slurred then completely coherent speech, uncharacteristic with drunkeness, poor attempt at stumbling at two points, and the rest of the sequence the man has no issues with walking), there’s the key factor of no info being released on him. Leftist groups have a nasty habit of releasing personal information about a would-be attacker, or putting out flyers, posters, or something to the masses for someone to “get that guy.”
God, honestly, I‘m insulted they feel we’re this stupid. Oh right, it’s for the other masses of young sheep bleating in the background either wanting to go back home to Mommy, or those who have yet to join. Of course I can’t wait until Monday and this is covered by liberal media outlets enmasse.

Posted on November 18, 2011 at 2:53pmYeah, we are the 99% of the 99%. And it’s time we stood up for our hard working selves. The people who live and work near Zucotti Park should start by organizing a tax protest. They should refuse to pay their property taxes for every day the authorities have allowed these criminals to obstruct their ability to work and live in that area. Though the OWSers seem to have forgotten, we each have the right to be left alone to go about our business unassailed by protesters. Those who live near there have a right to the enjoyment of their homes and the right to use the streets and park safely without having a protester get in their faces.
If the tax protest doesn’t work then I say we all quit our jobs. Stop producing all the goods and services that run this country, that the skanks out at OWS depend on. When they can‘t buy bread because the truckers didn’t truck it in or the bakers didn’t bake it, or when there is no emergency medical care for them because the doctors have quit in protest of the protesters, that will give them something to protest about.

He’s right though. If you get drunk and then go down to challenge a group of people who are inclined to violence, you’re asking for trouble and not being rational. If the time comes that we have to confront these idiots, it’s best we do it sober, armed and in numbers. The guy was lucky he got out without being beaten to a pulp, assuming this wasn’t staged.

Go down there and ask them to their face in the same tone you asked me, and see if they treat you with the same respect as they treated this dude or beat your face in. I’m not an OWS protestor.

Posted on November 18, 2011 at 2:12pmBy the way GHOSTOFJEFFERSON….OWS is looking to provoke confrontations. History teaches us that these “movements” when they grow as far as they will grow have to use violence and confrontation to keep the air from being sucked out of them and to keep the media focused on them. This is clearly the phase we’re seeing now. To the tea parties’ credit..they’ve stayed well away from OWS..sorry I offended V-MANGE by not using the new brand name..”99%”. Only yesterday Bill Ayers was heard entreating his beguiled students to bring in the tea parties to OWS. This isn’t a gesture of good will…this is a strategic move. To the tea parties‘ credit they’ve given Ayers and his ilk a unanimous middle finger and stayed away. Smart people..smart Americans. Right now OWS..sorry..”99%” is approaching toxicity, even self proclaimed philosophical inspiration of OWS, Elizabeth Warren didn’t put her name on a petition in support of OWS..what does that tell you? Any proximity to OWS would hurt the tea parties. I keep quoting Napoleon…”never interrupt your enemy while he’s making a mistake”. We’re both in agreement about drunks picking fights with beligerent groups however.
