Occupy Wall Street: sex, drugs and free food, as junkies and homeless people infiltrated among the activists

OTHER ARTICLES…

Occupy Wall Street movement started as a gathering of youngsters protesting against the state of the U.S. political and economic systems, but now, the camp is infiltrated by party goers and homeless looking for sex, drugs and free food.

Occupy Wall Street protest still continues in full strength in Manhattan and the atmosphere in New York’s financial district became increasingly debauched.

Meanwhile, the Occupy movement has now spread to more than 25 cities – from Sacramento to Seattle, Anchorage to Atlanta and Mobile to Minneapolis.

Among the politically active people in the makeshift village in Zuccotti Park appeared the opportunistic junkies and homeless people – making the most of the free food on offer.

A number of teens, looking to turn the gathering into an urban rave, are also infuriating the hard core of activists of the Occupy Wall Street movement.

People can see now, among banners and flags, 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. In one shocking picture, a man can be seen defecating on a police car.

“I got warrants. I’m running from the law,” a 24-year-old man from Stamford, Connecticut, told the New York Post.

“I’m not even supposed to be here, but it’s as good a spot as any to hide.”

Demonstrators said the site smells like a sewer and the free condoms have given visions of what the Woodstock festival was like. But many people have come down for the huge amount of food donated.

Those protesters, who are there for political reasons, have raged against corporate greed and influence over American life, the gap between rich and poor, and hapless, corrupt politicians.

Among the Occupy Wall Street activists, however, clearly there are some on the ground with less noble intentions.

“Most of the kids are trust-fund babies. They don’t need to be here,” Andre, a 40-year-old activist told the New York Post.

“I’ve seen some making out, having sex. It doesn’t look good.”

It was reported that more than 400 people converged on the tent city on Friday night, with many sleeping with each other.

Many pictures from the Occupy Wall Street site show young people lying together with very little clothing on under a sheet and having near them The Yage Letters book, a collection of writings from the fifties and sixties detailing the search for a hallucinogenic plant in the Amazon rainforest.

On Saturday morning a 23-year-old man was rushed to hospital after drinking a combination of liquor and cough syrup.

The man stopped breathing and was rushed in a serious condition to Downtown Hospital.

The leaders of the Occupy Wall Street protest are furious at the manner in which it has been hijacked and have set up a make-shift internal police to stop the debauched behavior.

“We want to make sure everyone is here for the right reason,” Ricky Torres, 23, who is part of the security unit, told the New York Post.
