Regarding Tim's article about snowflake students who don't think lawlessness increases with illegals. I have a suggestion for those students.

They should invite a randomly chosen (gang members in the pool) illegal to either their Passover Seder meal or to their Easter dinner. Both of these would take place at their home, so that family heirlooms like silver candlesticks and picture frames would be at risk of being stolen. In fact, if these illegals are invited to stay in dorm rooms on the campus, how many women would get their purses stolen? I'm sure a number of these illegals would consider the money of American students to be an entitlement of theirs.

I posted two pieces on the Aviary about New York churches that allowed Occupy Wall Street people to stay there. One had the church's Apple laptop stolen, along with the cover of their baptismal font. The second church had their floor pissed on by their guests. I first found out about this when the liberal reverend of a Protestant church spoke angrily about these abuses to the not-so-liberal NY Post which then printed his words. I even got to speak to the reverend myself. Later, he asked me for the website location of the Aviary so he could read what I said. Many of his parishoners were poor people dealing with drug addiction and homelessness, so he was quite angry about the church records being stolen as they sat on his Apple laptop (perhaps a donated item.)

Here are the pertinent articles:

What OWS Really Thinks of the 99 Percent

Jack Kemp

The mainstream media was very upset about a few Marines urinating on the bodies of dead out of uniform terrorists who have been trying to kill them in a war. This story was all over many websites. Even Hillary Clinton denounced the Marines who did this. http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/world/2012-01/13/c_131357085.htm At the same time, Obama union ally the SEIU supports Occupy Wall Street. http://biggovernment.com/mvadum/2011/10/20/stephen-lerner-seiu-neo-communist-union-boss-uses-ows-to-spread-fear-economic-mayhem/ But when OWS members urinated on a cross in a Brooklyn church that gave them sanctuary, as well as stole from a Manhattan church, the mainstream media and New York local Democrats remain silent on the issue reported in a major newspaper.


The NY Post reported http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/manhattan/god_awful_ows_mob_VqPjFDW0n234NhA9hxsxnL that Occupy Wall Streeters will no longer allowed to find sanctuary at the West Park Presbyterian Church, on West 86th Street in Manhattan – unless they return part of baptismal font that was stolen and make amends for their damage. The Church has given them two weeks to leave. West Park Presbyterian, with both services in English and Spanish http://westparkchurch.org/worshipsp.htm listed on their website, found a bronze basin and lid to a baptismal font gone. Although the basin was later found, the lid is still missing. The Post also reported an unusual expression of outrage for a churchman – but not for a New Yorker – when the Rev. Bob Brashear told the Occupiers that the vandalism "was like pissing on the 99 percent.”


The Post also reports more outrageous acts by the "people’s movement,” OWS:

BEGIN QUOTE

The artifact vanished just three weeks after a $2,400 Apple MacBook vanished from Brashear’s office.

SECTION OMITTED

In Brooklyn, at another church housing OWS protesters, an occupier urinated on a cross, according to Rabbi Chaim Gruber, who has angrily abandoned the OWS movement.

In a letter last week to OWS obtained by The Post, the rabbi fumed, "The Park Slope church housing occupiers was desecrated when an occupier peed inside the building and the pee came into contact with a cross.”

END QUOTE

These are the same Euro Utopians, "building a better world,” who took over a house in Brooklyn, raped a woman in Philadelphia http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/headlines/2011/11/woman-raped-at-occupy-philadelphia/ and allegedly raped a man in New York, http://www.theblaze.com/stories/there%E2%80%99s-sexual-assault-going-on-alleged-protester-details-deaf-mans-rape-at-ows/ nurtured conditions for a tuberculosis outbreak at their encampment in Atlanta – and tried to shut down all ports on the West Coast of the United States while having some success in shutting down Oakland’s port. http://occupyoakland.org/2011/10/blockade-port-of-oakland-during-nov-2-general-strike/


The OWS disrespect for communities has gotten so bad that even earlier supporter and New York City Councilman Charles Barron (D) has turned against them http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/brooklyn/klyn_pol_supporter_flip_flops_on_Pt6THF9XMmgk89vVXlPiOO because of the OWS house occupation and related reasons.

I recall seeing Charles Barron in person at the New York City Council hearing in February, 2011 on the issue of whether to allow Walmart to open a store in Brooklyn. As Wikipedia documented, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Barron#Protest_against_Walmart

BEGIN QUOTE
Barron called Walmart a "roving plantation" and said "There are no slaves in East New York. We will not be your slave workers.”
END QUOTE

I believe Newt Gingrich addressed Mr. Barron’s concerns about entry level jobs that teach skills to teenagers when he replied to Juan Williams, telling of his (Newt’s) daughter working as a church janitor as a teen. And at that City Council hearing, I was surprised that Barron didn’t object to black teens working at McDonald’s, where many a black teen gets their first opportunity and job training – and pocket money. I guess attacking McDonald’s would be way too unpopular a remark for him to make about the beloved "Mickey D’s.”

Charles Barron is clearly a liberal, as are the two clergymen quoted above - but even they have to draw the line somewhere – between legitimate protest and nihilistic anarchy and license which destroys a community. They are finding out that when Lenin (borrowing from Robespierre in the French Revolution) said you have to be willing to break a few eggs in order to make an omelet, that often in a political movement one gets more broken eggs at one’s feet than nourishment. And the mess from the "broken eggs” flows into their communities, not just staying as clean illustration on the pages of some book of political sayings one can pass along to one’s followers.

Meeting a Reverend from an OWS Desecrated Church

Jack Kemp

I didn't plan it, but a series of events conspired today to find me near West Side Presbyterian, the Upper West Side of Manhattan church that had their $2,400 office laptop and the cover to their baptismal font stolen when they gave sanctuary to Occupy Wall Street members. That was written about in a previous article at
http://tbirdnow.mee.nu/what_ows_really_thinks_of_the_99_percent

After asking a woman staff member at the doorway what is the status of the stolen cover, she replied that the church is in contact with an artisan who will make a new one for their baptismal font. Then we were joined by a central figure from the earlier article.

"With all the problems of poverty in this neighborhood, we didn't need this. Ninety percent of the parishioners are shocked by what happened," said Rev. Bob Brashear. He further added that the theft of the cover (and the unwanted removal of the baptismal font to another location on the premises) really damaged the parishioners' sense of safety and serenity in the church building. For what it was worth, I told him of people reacting positively in supportive comments posted at another website.

Rev. Bob Brashear spoke of the disparity in wealth in this country, echoing a liberal theme. I strongly suspect he and I have significantly different ideas on how to best change the U.S. economic situation for the betterment of all, but I have to say that I respect his daily personal efforts to help the poor and afflicted in his community. This is a man who is there to assist people every day and not just for "photo ops" like a certain Mayor in New York I could name.

After we shook hands and I started to walk away, Rev. Brashear called me back to ask where he could find what I wrote about his situation. I gave him the Birdnow website name and hoped his web search would lead to his reading the previous article on this subject.

This is the first time I've ever written this, but although I wouldn't change a word, I hope I haven't put off Rev. Brashear with my previous remarks and he appreciates my viewpoint on what transpired at his church regarding the Occupy Wall Street crowd.
