‘Increasingly Debauched’: Are Sex, Drugs & Poor Sanitation Eclipsing Occupy Wall Street?

Occupy Wall Street Spawns Sex, Drugs and Sanitary Concerns

The situation down at Occupy Wall Street continues to deteriorate, as sanitary conditions teamed with the personal actions of the protesters appear to be eclipsing the political gathering’s original push for a more “equitable” society.

According to the Daily Mail, the environment down at New York City’s Financial District is “increasingly debauched.” What started out as a gathering of people frustrated over what they see as a lack of opportunity in America (their complaints focused upon corporate greed, the large gap between the poor and rich in America, unemployment, student loans and political corruption), may be developing into something else entirely.

Occupy Wall Street Spawns Sex, Drugs and Sanitary Concerns

Apparently, there are now teenagers and young adults who have descended upon Wall Street in an effort to turn the gathering into a rave. With a “sex, drugs and rock and roll” mentality apparently infiltrating the protests, Mail Online reports:

Among the banners and flags are now discarded packets of condoms, cigarettes and bottles of spirits, while naked youngsters happily get together with just sleeping bags covering their modesty.

A box of free condoms is kept in the main area where protesters are camping.

If this is an accurate description of the conditions on the ground, it sounds more like Woodstock than it does a political movement. On Friday, alone, more than 400 people were at the makeshift city and sex was apparently a rampant occurrence.

While many have praised the protesters as young people who have little means and who have fallen victim to a down economy, Andre, a 40-year-old activist, says, “Most of the kids are trust-fund babies. They don’t need to be here.” He continues, “I’ve seen some making out, having sex. It doesn’t look good.”

And then there’s the drug use. Numerous reports have claimed that the smell of marijuana has been more than present among the protesters. An image that was recently captured shows two young people under a blanket (and barely clothed), with “The Yage Letters” on top of them. This book, which is a collection of writings from the 1950s and 1960s, provides details on the search for a hallucinogenic plant in the Amazon rainforest. Here’s the image:

Occupy Wall Street Spawns Sex, Drugs and Sanitary Concerns

One could dismiss this an anecdotal and not indicative of the behaviors of the majority of the protesters. Such a dismissal would certainly be fair, but these examples aren’t the only odd occurrences concerning the presence of drugs and substances at Wall Street.

On Saturday, a 23-year-old man was sent to the hospital after he ingested liquor and cough syrup. The young man, named Zachary, was not breathing; he was in serious condition. Again, anecdotal, but these accounts teamed with the ongoing reports of marijuana do showcase that there’s much more than mere political protesting going down on Wall Street.

And who can forget the image of a man allegedly defecating on a New York City patrol car?

Occupy Wall Street Spawns Sex, Drugs and Sanitary Concerns

The situation has gotten so out of hand that protest leaders have purportedly setup internal police to stop the out-of-control behavior. One of the individuals who is part of this security unit told the Daily Mail that the organizers want to make sure everyone is at the protest “for the right reason.”

These reports will likely only create more angst for Brookfield Office Properties, the company which owns Zuccotti Park (the site of the protests). Brookfield has made its sanitation concerns known. In a recent statement, company officials wrote:

“Sanitation is a growing concern…Normally the park is cleaned and inspected every week night…because the protesters refuse to cooperate…the park has not been cleaned since Friday, September 16th and as a result, sanitary conditions have reached unacceptable levels.”

The Daily Mail does note that some protesters have made great efforts to clean up the park, but considering the fact that hundreds of people have been very literally living outdoors for weeks, there’s only so much that can be done short of bringing in professionals to scour the premises.

As the protests enter their fourth week, there’s no telling what will happen next considering both behaviors and the longevity of the cause.

    The left has most always had the bottom feeders in our nation, almost all of these useful idiots support leftist policies and they fit right in with the image of the mindless , clueless, trouble makers there are. Most of these protesters are angry at their own lack of success and cannot figure out that some hard work and perseverance might change their lives?. Most of these fools do not add much of value for our present or future. Americans have a right to protest peacefully but to distrupt others lives?

Also, ANYONE who can say Iran is no threat, and should be allowed to develope a NUKE is OUT OF HIS MIND! I’m sorry, but Paul is living in the stone age with his views on the world.

      The difference between this group of 3rd generation hippies and their grandparents and parents is they are in the park and their parents and grandparents are in the White House. Tea Party members shoud try to go to the Wall Street mess and peacfully try to pick up the trash(not human refuse) and leave it a better place. No trouble, just garbage bags trash trucks and surgical masks. Theses idiots have been having someone else pick up after them their whole lives. This park probably looks like their rooms when they should have been growing up.

      Are we supposed to be surprised at this? Who are these people? They are mostly the offspring of the same degenerate bunch that ascended on Woodstock, NY, to rock out to their demonic music, smoke marijuana, drop acid, and speak out against the establishment.
      Some of those hippies got wise. They tried living in little communes, and realized that someone had to work hard, and then others sponged off the few. Many young ladies got burnt by the drugs and sex, and Godless lifestyle. In the early seventies, there was a strong movement back to churches, as many saw the error of their ways.
      Some never learned, and they are now the democrats of today (Pelosi, Clinton, Boxer…). They are still Godless, still anti capitalism, and their offspring are even worse. They are undisciplined, lack morality, believe homosexuality to be normal, are anti Semitic, and they truly hate America. They thought the world was going to change with the election of B. Hussein Obama, and now they are living in the filth they created.
      The MSM is between a rock and a hard place. Their messiah (Obama) is a fake and a letdown, the economy is in the tank, the Muslim world is getting more militant, and they have no answer for the Tea Party. They did not create the Tea Party, so they can not destroy or control it. They try to mimic it, but as the old adage says, you cannot make chicken salad from chicken crap. The Tea Party did not defecate in public, they did not destroy, commit violence…. So no

After seeing how folks like you are living in the park, I‘d say you would need a fire hose bath and a thorough scrub down to rid yourselves of scabies and other contagious parasites before you’re allowed anywhere near polite company. You could also use a primer course in REAL American history and basic economics, not that revisionist garbage the “schools” are “teaching” these days. A year or 2 in a finishing school to educate you filthy heathens in proper etiquette couldn’t hurt, either.

      And if your parents aren’t embarrassed by your actions, then they need to be slapped HARD for passing on their stupidity and lack of basic respect to you and your ilk.

      Mooneyfins, I think most Tea Party members would be afraid to go and pick up the trash, etc. for fear of getting ill, pricked with a discarded needly, accidentally touching human waste that carried disease, etc. In fact, I am worried for those who eventually will have to clean up this mess. Obviously those involved have no concern for those who have to pick up after them or for how much they are going to cost the city – money that could be spent in much more productive ways.

Does the Constitution allow for a standing army to be funded at all times? No, it says for 2 YEARS. We CAN cut the Military budget with NO loss to our defense. Our military is spread to thin right now. If we were attacked here, with a full scale military assault, what would we do? How long would it take to get our Military back HOME where we need them? Also, Iran is not a threat, not if RP did what he says, and he will, Let Israel take care of herself. That doesn‘t mean don’t support her, it means untie her hands and let her do what she NEEDS to do. Israel would take out ANY threat Iran posed, quick and in a hurry. Back away from the tree and look at the forest. Think outside the box for a change. Look at every piece of the puzzle not just one at a time. Peace and cheers to a renewed America under the Original Constitution. Do you want our country back the way it was intended? or not? Can’t have a middle of the road on the Constitution. Article I, Section 8 – The Legislative Branch – “To raise and support Armies, but no Appropriation of Money to that Use shall be for a longer Term than two Years; To provide and maintain a Navy” We can keep the navy :)

      OWS is the death knell for Liberalism in America. Obama got elected because he promised to clean up the corruption in DC and stop the out of control spending of President Bush. Obviously Obama lied and now we are seeing his supporters for what they are.

      If you get tempted to pay attention to the media when they say Obama is a shoe-in for a second term, remember they were “shocked” after the November 2010 election when Republicans gained 680 state legislature seats, 10 governorships and 65 seats in the U.S. House. Also, don’t forget how the media completely ignored the fact that Weiner and Grayson (from two of the most Liberal districts in America) were replaced by Tea Party backed Republicans.

      I wonder how many TEA Party protestors defecated on police cars during the course of their protests? How many TEA Party protestors have been arrested? I never heard TEA Party protests needing “internal security”. I do recall the story of an elderly TEA Party protestor getting his finger bitten off by a young Leftist/Progressive during the Obamacare protests. Maybe Glenn was right….could this be the beginning of The Coming Insurrection?

      If you continue to do what you’ve always done, you will continue to get what you’ve always got. Ron Pauls military views are constitutional. Everything he does is based on the constitution. The reason we are in the mess we are in is because we have strayed from the constituion for many many years. If we do not get back to it, our nation is toast and we can go through life under the thumb of the United Nations. Are you ready to give up all your individual liberty in fear that we are not safe from countries that mean us harm? Ben Franklin said: “If you give up one liberty for the sake of temporary freedom, you deserve neither.” (a little paraphrased, but same meaning) Paul is strong on defense, he just wants to stop policing the world. His belief is do not go to war until all diplomacy has been extinguished, and then only if Congress approves. That is constitutional. Why not go to glennbeck.com and read the Federalist Papers and understand what the Founding Fathers wanted for our Republic. You may be surprised at what you do not presently know.

The whole notion the the 60′s were this great enlightened time when everyone was free and one with nature is all bunk as the majority of you know. A good part of the crap we‘re dealing with today is a direct result of what occurred in the 60’s. History is doomed to repeat itself, as what we see here. Just remember, when we fight amongst ourselves and wallow around indecisively we make ourselves look exceedingly weak to our enemy’s and they WILL take advantage of that weakness!

They can probably be forced to do almost anything .

      Are we supposed to be surprised at this? Who are these people? They are mostly the offspring of the same degenerate bunch that ascended on Woodstock, NY, to rock out to their demonic music, smoke marijuana, drop acid, and speak out against the establishment.
      Some of those hippies got wise. They tried living in little communes, and realized that someone had to work hard, and then others sponged off the few. Many young ladies got burnt by the drugs and sex, and Godless lifestyle. In the early seventies, there was a strong movement back to churches, as many saw the error of their ways.
      Some never learned, and they are now the democrats of today (Pelosi, Clinton, Boxer…). They are still Godless, still anti capitalism, and their offspring are even worse. They are undisciplined, lack morality, believe homosexuality to be normal, are anti Semitic, and they truly hate America. They thought the world was going to change with the election of B. Hussein Obama, and now they are living in the filth they created

      DOGHEAD…your twisted hermeneutics betray your unhinged nature and inability to distinguish suicide from sacrifice. Christ at Gethsemane begged his father to “let this cup” pass from him. In plain words, he asked not to be subjected to the humiliation, pain and subsequent death he was put through. However, he also knew after that suffering he would be resurrected. So..during his trial before Pilate and Herod, he barely spoke when asked to defend himself against the charges. Finally Pilate had him scourged, then put to death at the demands of the mob and the Sanhedrin. NO DOGHEAD…Christ didn’t commit suicide, he didn’t take his own life you drooling idiot. He didn’t lie about who he was to save his life during his trial. He spoke the truth during his trial and was killed for it.

      Yes, many rock and rollers die from suicide, drug overdose, AIDS, and ailments from too much drugs and alcohol.

      Comparing Jesus to us sinners does not work real well. Comparing him to a drug induced rocker who takes mind altering drugs for recreation does not compare at all.

      If we have to compare Jesus to one of us regular sinners, it would closer to compare him to the soldier that dives on a grenade to save those around him. While he (the soldier) may have taken his own life, it was sacrificial, and for the lives of fellow soldiers.

      Jesus allowed himself to be crucified for the payment of sin. He died to save sinners the world over. He was the perfect lamb, and the perfect sacrifice.

      THEN, the cities should BILL the organizers of these debacles for the full cost of the cleanup and policing, plus some extra. The extra amount should go as compensation to those neighborhood businesses who lost their profits on account of noise, stench, filth, and crowding.

      The Film Determined to find the law that requires American citizens to pay income tax, producer Aaron Russo (”The Rose,“ ”Trading Places”) set out on a journey to find the evidence. This film which is neither left, nor right-wing is a startling examination of government. It exposes the systematic erosion of civil liberties in America since 1913 when the Federal Reserve system was fraudulently created. Through interviews with U.S. Congressmen, a former IRS Commissioner, former IRS and FBI agents and tax attorneys and authors, Russo connects the dots between money creation, federal income tax, and the national identity card which becomes law in May 2008. This ID card will use Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) chips which are essentially homing devices used to track people. This film shows in great detail and undeniable facts that America is moving headlong into a fascist police state. Wake up! —— Dear Lovers of Liberty, the struggle is just beginning! Get ready… Are you aware by May of 2008 the law will require you to carry a national identification card? Are you aware that there are plans being developed to have all Americans embedded with a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) computer chip under their skin so they can be tracked wherever they go? Are you aware the Supreme Court has ruled that the government has no authority to impose a direct unapportioned tax on the labor of the American people, and the 16th

      7.62Airmail:

      An indirect tax is a tax on something that you might or might not choose to purchase; for example, don‘t buy liquor if you don’t want to pay liquor tax.

      A direct tax is a tax that on principle can be collected from everyone, e.g., a head tax (since everyone has a head), a property tax (since everyone has at least some property) or an income tax (since everyone must have income, from work, investments, charity, whatever.

      Before 1913 an income tax was constitutional, but only if its revenues were derived from the states in proportion to their populations, but this was politically impossible because it was manifestly unfair to poor states.

      Since 1913 income tax has been constitutional, as levied on the incomes of corporations–which is probably a mistake–and individuals.

      “America: Freedom to Fascism” tries to make out that the 16th amendment was somehow passed by fraud, but that is not a judgment that the courts or historians have upheld.

      The problem is not the income tax as such, but the labyrinthine nature of the tax code, which allows corporations and wealthier individuals plentiful ways to escape their supposedly higher tax rates, leaving you and me to pay more, while the poorest 45% or so of the American people pay no income tax at all, a fact which is now being used to whip up class resentment against them.

      I take it you would like to abolish the income tax and go back to having the Federal government levy only tariffs and such? Good

      You guessed it:

      Herman Cain.

      Ron Paul has no tax plan. NONE. He has no idea how to levy those excise taxes….yet Cain has the fair tax idea, which is actually more constitutional than anything Paul has said “in theory”.

      So Ron Paul is an MD who wants to legalize drugs and watch Israel bet blown up.

      BTW, Mr Paul…the ONLY reason why Israel could “handle” Iran is because we provided them with their military. And Iran won’t be the only country attacking Israel….Syria, Jordan, Egypt, and Lebanon will all attack at the same time. Ron Paul is too old, too stupid, or maybe just abusing prescription drugs that he thinks should be over-the-counter to know that NO country, let alone one the size of NJ can fight a war on multiple fronts.

      RON PAUL IS A DOOOOOOCHE BAG.

      Of course you can’t convince the current generation that their future will be just like ours, but that’s the cycle of life. At least they’re using condoms, which should help keep Planned Parenthood from aborting so many protest babys.

A happening is where free drug use, unmitigated free sex and all sorts of debauched behavior HAPPENS. The health department of New York City needs to close this down, NOW.

    Someday, we’ll hand the keys to the country over to these losers. The best and brightest of their generation are all getting killed and maimed fighting overseas.

      Yes. It breaks my heart that our military is actually fighting for these people but seem to have fewer rights. The protesters say they need jobs……….why would anyone want this kind of people on their payrolls?

      There are a few of us left over here that still have brains. But, if I wasn’t ruled out by health conditions I probably would be over there with some of my friends. So all I can do is try to keep America a country worth fighting for.

      GONZO, Your comment is well spoken and Rush Limbaugh said essentially the same thing. In my note on that segment included: “There are also outstanding young people, including our great young soldiers and other youth in military.”

      The majority of America still hold to traditional family values and institutions. Hippy protests will backfire.

      @Momrules: they say they need jobs, but it is easier than ever to create your own jobs nowadays, especially if you can live with your parents, which many of these people do.

      I’ve written several articles over the last couple of years about jobs that people can do at home, and they don’t have to worry about people hiring them. I’ve introduced my artistic friend to a web site where he can sell his artistic creations; I’ve introduced other friends to other places where they can work online.

      Despite showing my friends and telling others about ways to earn money from home (and gain valuable experience if you want to be hired by someone else), rarely do the people I talk to actually put effort into working for themselves. My artistic friend is still unemployed. Meanwhile, my little business is chugging along.

      Many of these people want jobs, but they don’t want to put the effort into them.

      It would appear, Gonzo, that has already been done in 2008.

      Reminds me of Steve Jobs! When our best were fighting in Vietnam, he was high on LSD. I hate him for being a visionary. I am forced to use his products b/c they are great. Why are liberals so successful!
