Jeremy Clinch (Media credit: New York Post)
Jeremy Clinch, the 25-year-old homeless man captured on video brawling with another Occupy Wall Street protester, spoke to the New York Post after the incident and defended his violent actions.
In a rambling, profanity-laced interview, Clinch said it started because he saw a police officer “body slam” someone, which upset him. That set him off screaming and yelling and kicking a protester’s tent. The man in the tent, Recai “Rocky” Iskender, emerged and the two fought, ending when Iskender punched Clinch in the face.
“If somebody‘s violent with me I’m going to get violent with them,” Clinch said, despite the fact that it appeared his kick to Iskender’s tent was unprovoked.
He confirmed he had a criminal background and said he had been in a mental institution for seven years, though he was very insistent on making it clear he is not currently on any medication.
Clinch shared more his thoughts on the ongoing Occupy Wall Street protests with the Post, telling the paper demonstrators are “doing them wrong” just “laying in tents and f**king not doing anything.”

Than take your lumps you start a fight you need to be ready to see it ti the end. If you are violent and you get that violance back sorry accept it. As a reporter you should vet your witnesses, if this person rapes a women or hurts someone later than we how should believe the police are at fault..No thanks when the police commit crimes it is on them not when they do thier best and are not allowed to do thier job. Kinda funny but it would be a hoot if all these young women that have been raped fired suit on the Occupy Wall Street Organisers. After all they do not provide any security or allow the police to investigate neither do they aprehend the repaeat offenders that pwowl the tent cities…………

Posted on November 5, 2011 at 11:14amA group set up a booth handing out job applications and had very little interest from the OWS crowd. Those who were interested refused to fill out applications for jobs with banks or corporations that they considered “evil”. The other jobs didn’t offer enough of a starting salary. These clowns really expected some company to hire them as executives because of their “out of the box thinking” and “creativity”. None of them wanted a job where they were not hired as management. The want MORE MONEY. What a bunch of delusional hypocrites. Who in the world would hire these lazy losers in a management position. The truth is they don’t want to actually work, they somehow believe that they are smarter then everyone else and should be paid a whole butt load of money because they are “special”. We can all thank our public school system for these baseless egomaniacs. Even though the students in the United States score towards the bottom of industrialized nations on standard tests, the score the highest on self esteem. They are all angry because they can’t get Money for Nothing (sorry Dire Straights).

These meetings are no more than “lying signs and wonders”.
