NYC: Hundreds of Wall Street Occupiers Try And Retake Zuccotti Park, Clash With Police Officers…
As with everything they try, it ended in complete failure.
(NY Times) — More than 500 people associated with the Occupy Wall Street movement gathered in Zuccotti Park on Saturday and, in a return to scenes from earlier in the year, the evening began with the sound of drumming and calls of the now familiar slogan, “We are the 99 percent” — and it ended with torn-down barricades and a scuffle with police officers.
Just after 10:30 p.m. on New Year’s Eve, officers carried a person out of the park, prompting protesters to follow behind them, shouting “Shame!” The reason the person was escorted away was unclear.
About 20 minutes later, a group of protesters grabbed some of the metal barricades that surround the park and began piling them inside. As they gripped the barricades, police officers took hold as well, and a shoving match began, the silver bars trapped in between. At least one police officer fired an arch of pepper spray into the crowd behind those barricades.
Moments later, at least a dozen police officers charged into the park, plowing directly into a crowd of people, some of whom were trying to flee, pushing and shoving. One man was thrown down and pinned to the ground by several officers.

NYPD: 1 Smelly Hippies: 0
The entitlement generation, which makes up the majority of the “99%” seems to consist of the most incompetent, inarticulate, and irresponsible cretins to exist on the planet. Traits that coupled with their absolute lack of accountability has created the most repressed and regressive sloth-like beings ever to take up space among those of us who, while not a part of the so-called “1%” would never identify with miscreants like the 99%.
No, we are the “etc”, the Employed, Taxpaying, Contributors, without whom all life on the planet would cease to be.
The Occupy Whatevers who make up the 99% unwashed, uninformed and unemployable represent “the nothing” that has so permeated the landscape.
Hickory shampoo? Rinse and repeat indefinitely
That`s the way cops…turn the bastard upside down and use his shaggy hair to clean the streets.
They are probing for weaknesses, readying their forces for their next offensive.
Laughing them off as disorganized fools is exactly what they want us to think.
They are organized, with full communications between Barry’s re-election campaign and the cannon fodder rioters we see here.
We need to be ready for a fight this election or we will lose.
Awesome.
Nothing like starting the New Year out right.
Don’t give an inch.
Like when any city / state government passes some mandate / law, that you cannot reside in a certain place, theyre just going to LET you waltz right in there and take it over?
We know that theyre idiots, but this shows a complete lack of a grasp on reality. I wish the cops would start using billy clubs on them. Maybe knock some sense into them, as if that were even possible.
Oh and fck these skank bums for trying to use the word “shame’ against the police who are just doing their jobs.
The shame is on these smelly street derelicts who are nothing but would be thieves and strong arm robbers. Shame on these criminal parasites.
Keep an eye on the primaries, this is a prelude. SC comes to mind.
While we need the police for security around NYC and the ball dropping, the Occuslobs divert their presence to themselves.
@Bee1 – Best comment of the day award!
Pushing the envelope. They remind me of terrorists, why work when you can sit around all day? Go out, cause some trouble, head back to your tent for a nap, and then do it all over again. Meanwhile big daddy is paying your expenses.
I want to know if the arson fires in LA are OWS related.
Ahhhhh poor babies. Wasn’t no one givin’ them the attention such hard workin’ revolutionaries deserve, so they had to go out an’ git it!
Perhaps we should send them a box of pacifiers….. I know some diapers would help.
Surely one day soon everyone will get sick and tired of these bums. I suspect some deaths, or at least some badly brused and battered OWS will start popping up here and there. Just like the pop up gangs of theives that go into stores in groups and take what they want, and the people just have to watch, and do nothing.
Americans will only bse pushed so far before they start pushing back. these little bulllies need a dose of their own medicine.
HuffPo has had the story up for at least one hour. 0 comments, 7 pending. I guess the liberals over there don’t want to talk about it.
Oh dear a criminal was pushed to the ground while trying to commit a crime. Play that song on a nonexistent violin.
They need to rename themselves the 68% because a bunch of them are in jail.
anyway these idiots can do to get the leftists news media to pay attention to them even though their a bunch of leftists radicals
Sort of like a guy trying to rob a bank when the cops are still there on the scene from the last time. LoL. What a bunch of dummies.
@ironmaiden
Thanks very much!
Happy New Year 2012 to you and your family.
@Axel…
Look at the comments section.

Barry’s OWS Riot Squad is suspect.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they are directly involved.
50 mg.s thorzine twice daily for 5 days…they are already brain dead, so help it along with a little chemical assistance..
Obama’s Bolshevik Occupiers setting the Cloward-Piven predicate to disrupt American Democracy.
My New Year’s resolution: Punch a lot more hippies.
The shame shoulld be on TIME for sympathising with these radicals and extremists
They should try bathing, having a stench like theirs the officers smelled them from miles away and it wasn’t Jersey.
Dumb fucking hippies. these are the same sort of people we have in office now.
the hippie freaks of the 60′s.. Nasty, Reid, Dodd, Fwank, etc.
@boozy.
I love the way you think… can we make it into a Gas and spray in on all of them?
better then pepper spray and the quieter. no drums or human mic’s when they all stand around drooling on each other.
’bout damm time.
Another_Infidel: Best summary yet re. the occupy losers. Well said!!
Mr. Galt–
Your New Year’s resolution sounds a LOT like mine:
“Club a hippie for Jesus.” Hmmmm…might be a bumper sticker in that.
Would you like to take that PROTESTER issue of TIME and personaly shove it down the chief editors throat heres hoping they lose lots of subcribers and readers
Looks like NYPD is determined not to let the tail wag the dog.
The NYP needs paddy wagons the size of triple trailer semis. Usher them all into the back and drive them to the station for booking. REVENUE, NYC! Easy Peasy.
This is just what these dirtbags need a healthy application of ‘wooden shampoo’ accompanied with a pair of metal bracelets, and a ride to the city jail.
Occupy Cleveland is down to just the dog, the other three left for the most part and come back once a day for 15-20 minutes to feed it. I knew some cops years ago that would have made minced meat of these jokers, but that was then.
What’s next? Occupy needs a college educated, LGBT, jobless martyr of color to put a face on the movement.
Cops cuffed Side-show Bob?
