This is an interview with an Occupy Wall Street organizer and she discusses some of the sexual assaults being committed in the park.

She claims a young deaf man was raped.

The Occupy Ottawa movement has been plagued with sexual assaults. About 3 minutes into the video below, a guy speaks to the crowd and tells of someone who groped his genitals ...

There is an epidemic of sexual assaults going on at most of these occupy camps. It is time to end the ridiculous "no snitch" policies. The movement is endangering it's own members.

Staged. First we were a bunch of commies and that didnt work. Then we were a bunch of hippies and that didnt work. Then we were a bunch of hoodlems and that didnt work. Then we were a bunch of druggies and that didnt work. Now we are a bunch of sexual deviants.Next we will be gang bangers.

Very sad for the victims. Dangerous situation for women or people who can't defend themselves well to sleep out in the middle of New York.

I don't see any no-snitch policy.

Some quotes from the video:

Do these incidents get reported to the police or do they stay inside the camp?

1:31 "The problem we have been dealing with, I mean we tried, a girl got punched in the face by a guy, she tried going to the cops, she had to go to four cops before one of them would help her out...they kind of just ignore it"

1:50 "Do the actual working groups or organizers encourage or discourage people to go to the police?"

"They encourage it but it hasn't proven beneficial most of the time....a guy got arrested but he came right back afterwards"

"In Sunday’s case, they chased the pervert away but never called the authorities. “We don’t tell anyone,” an organizer told the New York Post. “We handle it internally. I said too much already.”

Post quote is directly in conflict with what the lady in the video just said.

Lady in the video is not anonymous. Person quoted in the Post is.

NY Post is an opinionated, unreliable source with an anti-OWS agenda, they don't do objective journalism.

So the lady is guaranteed to be objective? And the whole no snitch thing is just made up by the media?

The lady is at least putting her face on camera.

I'm a woman. If I was raped & wanted to report it to the police, some "no snitch" policy at OWS would not prevent me from doing it.

I also wouldn't camp in the park unless I had a strong guy with me or was allowed to be lawfully armed.

It's a risk. I'm not saying that justifies being attacked, just saying how I personally feel about sleeping outside surrounded by strangers.

All the Occupy camps have had a "no snitch" policy.

However .... That is being revised in some camps. Occupy Baltimore had a strict "no snitch" policy but when a woman was raped on Friday they changed the policy to notifying police right away.

As far as I'm concerned the NYPD is targeting the occupation with the social problems their system is INCREDIBLY negligent in addressing. NYPD is guilty.-

See this post. http://occupywallst.org/forum/nypd-sending-homeless-alcoholics-from-around-the-c/ Here is a link about that riot. People need to realize there is a group within many cities police forces that do not give a damm about the constitution, due process or rights.------

Realize that google would not find that link for me. Now you see collusion between corporate internet giants and the infiltrated government.

ON EDIT: Realize, there are GOOD nypd officers. Protestors know this and have reported it in various ways. Command has problems and we pay.

Take the badge number/name of every NYPD that refuses to take a legitimate report. Record victim/offense/date/time accumulate and create a lawsuit in federal court against those officers. We NEED their identities in a confirmed conspiracy against those who are defending the rule of law. Even if they don't quite know what they are doing or how to do it.

What do you expect? Sounds like a bunch of wild animals on the loose.
