Liberal law student chokes on silver spoon in (false) protest

[icedancer2theend]

This guy is a part of a ginned up movement against the financial sector- a totally faux protestor.



The latest anti-business viral video burning up the liberal blogosphere today seems heart-wrenching… that is, until you do your homework.

Robert Stephens graduated from Carleton College (average cost: $42,942/year) in 2010 and now studies law at The George Washington University Law School (average cost: $70,449/year). His father has a Ph.D. and two master’s degrees; his mother also has a master’s degree. Only in America could a kid have been blessed with so much… and only in America could he still claim to be a victim. America’s capitalist society has apparently leveled a grave injustice against his family and Robert will not stand for it.




Stephens — who identifies his personal political philosophy as Bolivian socialism — made a trip to New York City this weekend to participate in the “Days of Rage” march on Wall Street. He was arrested Saturday when he refused police requests to get up and out of the way of traffic in the street.

In his emotional “rage,” Stephens told the sympathetic Socialist/Marxist/Anarchist crowd how an eeeeeevil Wall Street bank had taken his parents’ home away from them:



Attempts to contact Robert to find out exactly what grave injustices he and his family have suffered have gone unanswered. In the meantime, sympathetic comments on both Robert’s Facebook page and the YouTube video are also… unsettling.

Phone inquiries into the county property records & taxpayer services office reveal that the Stephens family home is not and never has been in foreclosure, that property taxes had been paid in full this year and the remaining balance on their mortgage for the half-million dollar home is less than one year’s worth of tuition+fees at their son’s law school.

The nail in this empty protest‘s coffin is a delightful phone conversation I just had with Robert’s mother, Marquita, where she admitted Chase Bank indeed was not “taking” their home from them. Instead, due to a recent “reduction in income,” they’ve decided to hold a “short sale.”

When I asked Mrs. Stephens if she and her husband planned to stay in their suburban St. Paul, Minn., surroundings after the sale, she told me they weren’t too keen on the idea. The area is “a bit too conservative,” she said.

There’s just one problem: Robert Stephens’ story is (surprise!) completely bogus.

Day Of Rage protests are ginned up bullshit. I suspect that in the next few weeks we are going to hear that some political interest was behind this debacle.

doesn't look good for them so far.

It's an absurd movement- this guy's faux story highlights the absurdity.

Robert Stephens, the socialist pinhead, can lie his ass off all he wants...the liberal media in this country will not cover it at all or if it is forced to by society, it will write a 2 liner on page 40 of the oped section.....nothing derogatory to this asshole will be published and it will never see TV coverage at all....

If the media is liberal why is it that the entire event is receiving no media coverage?

because even the liberal media knows there is no occupation of wall street.

If the media is liberal why is it that the entire event is receiving no media coverage?

Because they understand that it makes liberals look like idiots.

So you think Lloyd Blankfein is doing God's work?
