NYC arrest records: Many Occupy Wall Street protesters live in luxury

Many “Occupy Wall Street” protesters arrested in New York City “occupy” more luxurious homes than their “99 percent” rhetoric might suggest, a Daily Caller investigation has found.

For each of the 984 Occupy Wall Street protesters arrested in New York City between September 18 and October 15, police collected and filed an information sheet recording the arrestee’s name, age, sex, criminal charge, home address and — in most cases — race. The Daily Caller has obtained all of this information from a source in the New York City government.

Among addresses for which information is available, single-family homes listed on those police intake forms have a median value of $305,000 — a far higher number than the $185,400 median value of owner-occupied housing units in the United States.

Some of the homes where “Occupy” arrestees reside, viewed through Google Maps and the Multiple Listing Service real estate database, are the definition of opulence.

LOL

as i said in the beginning, most of these people are protesting just to protest and be cool

Is your thinking that the Occupy movement's message is that no one should have money?

 

[christiefan915]

It couldn't be that they have a social conscience and would like to see the 99% in a better financial position.

 

[RockX]

:lol:

They should all be forced to sell their homes and redistribute their wealth.

it is hilarious that wealthy protesters are protesting wealth...iow...they are protesting themselves

 

[Bonestorm]

I love how the Daily Caller compares the median home price in the US to the price of the homes of protesters in New York City. That's awesome.

 

[The Dude]

Yurt that is childish, do you know the median value in NYC?

 

[christiefan915]

:lol:

Right, and you should be adopting a child a year from all those women you talked out of having abortions.

 

[Onceler]

Not that surprised that you couldn't answer my question.

The occupy movement isn't really protesting the idea of wealth, for the most part. It's not hypocritical for someone who is wealthy to support the principles they're talking about.

[christiefan915]

The median age of the occupiers is 27. I hardly think all these youngins actually own the houses that were viewed.

 

[The Dude]

And plenty of rich have come out in support, as they are not simpletons like you yurtsie. Shocking that's over your head.

[Onceler]

They're not, though.

Have you read any of the responses to your thread?

 

[The Dude]

Yurt won't list his education because he has none as is obvious in his postings.

Even in the nation’s currently depressed housing market, at least 95 of the protesters’ residences are worth approximately $500,000 or more.

Again, does that matter somehow?

What is your impression of the protest...what do you think they're asking for?

 

[The Dude]

Face yurt your a simpleton troll

 

[The Dude]

Median sales price in NYC is way more than 500,000 yurt-turd
