Members of the Occupy Wall Street movement urinated on a cross, desecrated a church and threw Bibles at police officers in separate incidents over the weekend.

Protesters in San Francisco occupied an abandoned hotel and began attacking police – hurling bricks and Bibles at officers.

“Once they gained access [to the hotel], some of them made it to the top of the roof and they began to throw Bibles down at the officers,” San Francisco Police Dept. spokesman Carlos Manfredi told ABC News.
Several officers were injured in the attack.
In New York City, Occupy protesters allegedly urinated on a cross inside a Brooklyn church.
“An occupier peed inside the building and the pee came into contact with a cross,” wrote Rabbi Chaim Gruber in a note to the New York Post.
The Occupy Wall Street movement has a history of participants urinating and defecating in public.
The group has also been accused of desecrating West Park Presbyterian Church. The pastor ordered 60 protesters to leave the sanctuary after someone stole a bronze lid from the $12,500 baptismal font.
“It was like pissing on the 99 percent,” an angry Rev. Bob Brashear told the New York Post.
The pastor supports the Occupy movement – but is outraged over their behavior.
“Even in the 1980s when we had a lot of crack addicts etc. in the neighborhood, and even robbing people in the church, that particular religious symbol had never really been disturbed before,” the pastor told CBS News. “I tried to make it clear that I don’t believe in collective punishment but I do believe in collective accountability and responsibility.”

Do you people not realize that this article was written with a strong right wing opinion? Meaning that a lot that is said is supposed to make these people look bad. The 99% isn't just liberal it's everyone who has suffered because of people like mitt romney who is only paying 15% in taxes when he should be paying way more because of his income. How can you not understand that the people who make way more should be taxed way more. And not everyone in this movement is "jobless" and "lazy" if they were lazy they wouldn't be out there fighting for OUR rights. You people seriously need to do your research. OBAMA 2012
Some things never change. Father forgive them, they know not what they do.
This story is so wacky… Did any of you actually read it? First it states that the occupiers were at a HOTEL and climbed up on the roof and threw bibles at the cops…(Maybe they wanted the cops to read it before they were beaten!) Second the article moves on to a church where a JEWISH RABBI reports that someone peed inside the building (do you want them to pee outside?) and the pee came into CONTACT (not peed on the cross) with the cross. Seriously? How do you go from a hotel to a church scene and the article is written by a Rabbi? Makes no sense people… Come on now!
if its fox its crap..
All this tells me is that Obummer is succesfull in his class warfare effort. Way to go Barry.
No more charity for you, Buttwipes
Any ABC News or New York Post mainstream presstitute rag must be taken with a grain of salt. I mean c'mon doesn't this sound just a lil fishy:
“An occupier peed inside the building and the pee came into contact with a cross,” wrote Rabbi Chaim Gruber.
Uhhh..first, why is a rabbi being quoted about the goings on in a church? Last I checked, even in Brooklyn, a rabbi is still a Jewish official, and does his work in something called a synagogue or a temple, not a church. Next, where was this cross located that the pee "came into contact" with it? Was there a cross hung up in the urinal? Or in one of the stalls? How did the pee exactly come into contact with said cross when the occupier peed "inside the building"? If the occupier really urinated on the cross why didn't the good "rabbi" just say so? This phony rabbi-speak sounds like Clinton at a Lewinsky deposition for goodness sakes. These fabricated, fraudulent establishment-media "reports" are becoming laughable.
Hey, just a quick look at the Fox News crowd. I see your still being fooled by big business who hide behind the flag and God to get the almighty dollar. I have a new word I made up for you people. HippoChristians. That's people who hate anyone different, want to drug test the unemployed and have a 'screw you I got mine' mentality and then have the nerve to say they are Christian. All I ever see on these post is hate, hate, hate, and no, no, no. Your party has been in charge of congress how long now and what have they done to help people or frankly do anything other then cater to big business? Where are your ideas? No is not a solution HippoChristians. Jesus loves you..if your an American white person member of the Republican party and hate anything not like you.
need to stop listening to main stream media. when the tea party was in the news they had plenty of articles about violence within the tea party too.Do not believe everything they tell you.The mainstream media wants you to call each other names then we do not get along and go after the real losers them.So keep attacking each other that is what they want, because a house divided will always fall.The house is the people.
These are NOT protestors, these are vandals getting away with destroying property! It's about time we called "Occupy Wall Street" and his sister protestors what they REALLY are…bored people who have nothing else to do but destroy property and take what is not theirs!
I've read about this before. May 10th, 1933.
Time for the OWS'ers to start occupying a jail cell. This group is nothing more than chaotic radicals hell bent on destroying freedom in America.
I see a pattern on this Fox News website comment section. Seriously, scroll down through all the comments and every single one is either mean spirited or of no value to fix anything and notice every single comment has thumbs up. I don;t see any thumbs down. Well now you have this one I guess. If you ever get the nerve to listen to a different opinion try a different news website. There you will see a post, then comments below where a person sees something different. this is the only place I see posts all negative with no one disagreeing.
Ever think for a moment that not ==all== of Occupy are responsible for this? Of course you didn't… you were too busy pounding the pundit claiming that Occupiers are Obama supporters, which a great deal of them are not- that's a MSM lie to smear Occupy and if you haven't figured that out yet you are stupid as you claim that they are.. I'm sure many of your parents heard the same things about them back in the 60s when they were protesting the Vietnam war (and much worse things).
Personally I got ZERO use for Obenedict… signing the NDAA bill made him a traitor in my eyes.. there is only ONE guy who deserves to be POTUS.. talk all the trash you want about him, simple fact is this.. Ron Paul is the ONLY guy talking about cutting the budget and fixing things.. the rest are status quo going to spend and print dollars until it really does crash kind of guys.. the same guys that have been saying the same things… Sure Newt is consistent… consistently UNTRUTHFUL.. only four years after one of the worst monetary crisis in the last 50 years and Ron Paul is the ONLY guy saying cut the budget, fix the monetary system… What's Newty's plan? Some more great Reagan/Bush trickle down economics and endless wars? How very Orwellian…

Yeah! All of you get jobs! You are all stupid idiots for not being able to get a job when our country's economy is at a record low!
You know what you all should have done? Listen carefully, stupid college dropouts: You should have been raised in an extremely rich household like me! That way you could have had parents pay for all of your education and get you a job! Stupid lazy hicks! They're not fighting for anything at all.
Also, those bankers with the majority of our country's money deserved all of that! Who cares if they single handily destroyed America's economy? They are allowed to sit on their pure-gold thrones and laugh as the rest of us struggle to make enough to live! I myself am happy making 80,000 dollars a year while they make a hundred times that!
$80,000??? I was happy making half that. Of course, I probably would've been happier still making that much. Consider yourself well off.
Carole J. Gray My parents work around the clock with three jobs. My dad is aging and dying faster due to the amount of work he does, and my mom is being screwed over by asshole coworkers.
Carole J. Gray Also the 80,000 was an example because it's 100 times less than what a lot of douchenozzle politicians make for less than a third of the work.
I'm to the point that the only time "occupy" and "movement should be used together is when referencing a bathroom stall.
and he is sending 13.000 more jobs to china and taking them from the American People. I wonder how much he is getting out of it?

propaganda much
What a disgusting, sickening, pathetic disgrace…Obama tieing his name to this shows his true character. This country is going to hell and its people like this that are the cause. Wonder why this hasn't been all over TV?
It hasn't been on tv because the media is in bed with the White House and they are protecting him.
Yep .. the liberal left embraces these losers and shows their lack of values and responsibility for their actions. 99% of these people blame others for their actions and problems. Shows this administrations war on Christianity is true since democrats support these villians.
While Christianity continually comes under viscious attack in this country we have so beneficently founded, Muslim dictatorship gains acceptance by leaders in America – Muslim success being fueled by their wealth in oil while our socialist politicians refuse us oil pipelines. Bottom line we need freedom to create wealth in order to protect our 1st Amendment guarantees.
Complicit support is being given to Muslim countries in the UN who have been on a rampage to make it an international crime to criticize Islam in any way. In December 2011, the United States hosted what is known as the “Istanbul Process Conference” in Washington, DC. This Conference is explicitly committed to a global ban on any verbal or written criticism of any aspect of Islamic Sharia. The OIC’s success in their feverish effort to have the UN pass Resolution 16/18 is a modern day marvel. That resolution was adopted at the HRC [Human Rights Commission] in Geneva in March 2011 and it was quietly approved by the 193-member UN General Assembly on December 19th. However, it needs strong Western support to be effectual. If this is supported by the West, Americans, with our love for the First Amendment, will have to watch as we lose the free exercise of religion and freedom of speech.
Since when is being a piece of trash a good thing? I would argue that 99% of these occupiers are trash. How, you may ask, can I say such a thing? Well, the way they are acting is the way trashy people act. But it's probably all their parents fault? Could be, but if this generation of trash don't have the good sense to change, then it will be their fault for the next generation of trash, if you are stupid enough to think in those terms.
Has anyone seen the video of this alleged crime? if so please post the link. I can't seem to find any actual evidence of these events.. Maybe I'm looking in all the wrong places.
And they shall be punished in hell fire forever and ever. A thirst that cannot be quench, and pain that cannot be touched. Now think of it, if heaven allowed these kinds of people in it would it really be heaven? NO which is why there is a hell for those who reject God's provison to escape it. These less than 1% called the Occupiers are headed in that direction – byyyyyyyeeeeee.
It appears most of you do not read the news but buy the lines being fed to you. The Occupiers are paid "army" sent out to practice tactics of disruption for the larger battles to come. You have not seen anything yet! Terror is the aim of these 99%'ers and they are following the same tactics that the promulgators use in evey bloody revolution!
Obama has just reconstructed our armed forces. He has decided to follow the Constitution which only allows the Federal Givernment to have a standing Navy and its Marines. The US Coast Guard and the Army Corps of Engineers have no proficiency in crowd controls! It will be up to the citizen militias to handle civil problems but the National Guard has been decimated by fighting our wars abroad. Now even their armories and camps are being closed while Obama's private armies are being constructed in our inner cities.
And you know this how?????
I have three words for the police: Shoot to kill.
Not that long ago I said that the OWS crowd will be Obamas civilian army… they are obnoxious irrational and dangerous… this is where the violence in the streets will start….not with the people on the right and not with the Tea Party.
wtf
People of This onece great nation of America have Fallen to such sin & wickedness. This nation will burn inturnally then form outwardly. Your arrogance & Pride America has left you without God & princeable's Repent from your stupid Pride & arrogance before you destroy yourselves.
Question for the OWS folks that think that Republicans only support the top 1% and vice versa: when you have add up the popular vote for the last 25 presidential elections, you get 811,169,647 voting Republican and 794,361,414 voting Democrat. That's 50.52% vs 49.48%. where the hell are you getting 99% versus 1%? GROW UP!
No Government will be able to save any of you. Only God will if you turn back to him.
Remember Pride come's before a FALL!
This article is so obviously false it's probably a waste of my time to comment. The author even forgot that rabbis aren't Christian! Somebody get him a new job.
I grew up dirt poor, worked hard all my life, and live less than middle class now, but I do not blame anyone for my status in life. I could care less about getting rich and I certainly will not take handouts. Had hard times, a lot of them, even asked for Food Stamps once, but was turned down because I was not black. I survived and my family survived! These OWS Failures are a bunch of whining babies who know nothing of life, never served their country, never had to support a family, live off mama and daddy! Yes, some have, granted, but the majority are immature children who have their heads up their rectums and will vote for Obama, their Idol, in November, because they think he will give them freebies, just as in 2008!
the irony is, that The Bible has a lot to say AGAINST the 1 % crowd! they should check out Antipas Ministries online. The Bible and Christianity have been hijacked by the unchristian along with the evangelical and charismatic movements, increasingly heretical and loaded with false prophets and all kind of what Russiqan Orthodoxy calls prelest or spiritual deception.
They should go occupy John Kerry for his WAR CRIMES that he admitted in front of Congress but has never been charge, Now there is a solid reason to occupy. Go to "Pround Vietnam Veterans" and watch him admit to WAR CRIMES! Then ask him why it took a President to "Re-issue" his medals? I had it done and it just took my discharge papers showing the medals. In Kerry's case he was discharge with a less the honable release and that strip him of ALL his medals. Carter upgrade his discharge and gave his medals back to him. That's one of things he was/is hidding in his military records…Get rid of that scum bag traitor.
Oh why cant we just get the military to "escort" them on to a large ship and send them to Africa where they can be "handled." Seriously the removal of these idiots would dramatically raise the IQ in this country, get business going again. Unfortunately we live in a "politically correct" society. The fact that pastor supports these mongrols is a testament to the stupidity he displays on a day to day basis.
I need to to thank you for this wonderful read!!
I definitely enjoyed every little bit of it. I have got you saved as
