your strawman arguments are weak and need more stuffing
Apparently it wasn't "rape rape".Fiend attacks 'Occupy' protester in her tent
Wall Street protesters in Zuccotti Park battened down the hatches yesterday as the early October snow turned their tents into igloos, but the close quarters also made easy pickings for one predator.
A sex fiend barged into a woman’s tent and sexually assaulted her at around 6 a.m., said protesters, who chased him from the park.
“Pervert! Pervert! Get the f--k out!” said vigilante Occupiers, who never bothered to call the cops.
“They were shining flashlights in his face and yelling at him to leave,” said a woman who called herself Leslie, but refused to give her real name.
She said that weeks earlier another woman was raped.
“We don’t tell anyone,” she said. “We handle it internally. I said too much already.”

had this happened at a TEA party rally, the only call necessary would have been to the coroner.But...but what about self-reliance? A group not only forming a "community" but self-policing. One would think the less government, tea party, Republican folks would be impressed.
while this situation surely sucks, what more can be expected after the actions of the police?
he could be incarcerated...thus ensuring he is unlikely to rape again
i'm not talking about the rapist, i'm talking about the occupiers and their experience with the police.
the numerous reports of police using excessive force and expelling or arresting the protesters in several areas. If it has happened at this area, can you blame the protestors for wanting to not involve the police?i don't follow...

yes. they are letting a rapist go free and the likelihood of the guy raping someone else is very high. we can't lump every police officer into one group because there are a few bad apples....
a few bad apples? just a few?
hundreds of cops jeer prosecutors and investigators over ticket fixing scandal
A three-year investigation into the police’s habit of fixing traffic and parking tickets in the Bronx ended in the unsealing of indictments on Friday and a stunning display of vitriol by hundreds of off-duty officers, who converged on the courthouse to applaud their accused colleagues and denounce their prosecution.
As 16 police officers were arraigned at State Supreme Court in the Bronx, incensed colleagues organized by their union cursed and taunted prosecutors and investigators, chanting “Down with the D.A.” and “Ray Kelly, hypocrite.”
As the defendants emerged from their morning court appearance, a swarm of officers formed a cordon in the hallway and clapped as they picked their way to the elevators. Members of the news media were prevented by court officers from walking down the hallway where more than 100 off-duty police officers had gathered outside the courtroom.
Prosecutors said the bulk of the vanished tickets were arranged by officials of the Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association, the city’s largest police union. All the officers charged with fixing tickets are either current or past union delegates or trustees.
As the investigation unfurled, the union played down its significance and consistently referred to ticket-fixing as “professional courtesy” inscribed in the police culture.
Patrick J. Lynch, the union president, said in a news conference that the officers had been arrested on something “accepted at all ranks for decades.”
that has nothing to do with the officers who said treated the protesters poorly. and really, only 16....that is hardly more than a few...and hundreds jeered and had bad attitudes OFF duty....well blown me down olive oil
so because these 16 are NOT the officers who arrested or abused protestors, nor the OFF DUTY ones who jeered and had bad attitudes, this is just an isolated incident? no other cities in the entire US have more than one or two bad apples?
i never said that. you're attempting to paint every cop with the same brush. so because there are bad cops, we should never report a rape? come on.
WOW...first you criticize someone for "painting every cop with the same brush"...then you go DIRECTLY into "painting every rape with the same brush."
Can you possibly be more two-faced?
