Homeless man goes on rampage, gives Occupy Wall Street protesters a lesson in envy
In New York’s Zuccotti Park, the class warfare crowd got a taste of their own medicine. Up Twinkles!
A deranged homeless man who has been squatting among the Occupy Wall Street protesters in lower Manhattan went on a violent, early-morning rampage yesterday, cursing incoherently and kicking down tents.
The only thing that could stop Jeremy Clinch from his Godzilla-like rampage was a left hook to the face delivered by a paranoid fellow protester who claimed to be an ex-Turkish diplomat — and charged that his assailant was carrying out a plot hatched by Mayor Bloomberg.
“I’ve been here from Day One! I haven’t got a tent!” the Cleveland-native Clinch shrieked as he furiously kicked down tents onto sleeping protesters at about 8 a.m.
“I’ve been here for three months, and I haven’t been able to sleep!” the out-of-his-head Clinch screamed.
It was just the type of increasingly violent incident that has downtown residents — already bombarded by megaphones, incessant drumming, graffiti and public urination — feeling on edge as the OWS takeover of Zuccotti Park enters its third month.
“You want to fight? You want to get f–ked up? Let’s get it on! Let’s get it on!” Clinch ranted.
The unhinged vagrant then put the boot to the wrong man — Recai “Rocky” Iskender, 48, of Cliffside Park, NJ, as he slept in his tent.
Iskender, who on his Facebook page calls himself a career diplomat for his native Turkey and says he lost 20 pounds on a six-day hunger strike in the protest, leaped from his tent and hurled a plastic water jug at Clinch.
The enraged Turk then lunged at his stunned assailant, nailing him with a punch that knocked him backward on the pavement.
This is what happens when you join a protest movement based upon envy. Wanting the government to seize more from the wealthy inevitably turns sour when someone with less than you have decides it’s time to redistribute what you own. Socialism always comes back to bite those who seek to impose it on others.
This “deranged homeless man” is the embodiment of the Occupy Wall Street movement. Envy, anger, and violence.

RELATED: Morgan Housel at The Motley Fool makes my point quite nicely.
The recent Occupy Wall Street protests have aimed their message at the income disparity between the 1% richest Americans and the rest of the country. But what happens when you expand that and look at the 1% richest of the entire world? Some really interesting numbers emerge. If there were a global Occupy Wall Street protest, [the current OWS protesters] might actually be the target.
In America, the top 1% earn more than $380,000 per year. We are, however, among the richest nations on Earth. How much do you need to earn to be among the top 1% of the world?
$34,000.

RELATED: Although the video below isn’t about Occupy Wall Street, the Lefty hypocrisy is the same. Many students believe that it is moral to confiscate money from hard-working Americans and entrepreneurs and give it to those who didn’t earn it, yet don’t support the same philosophy when it is applied to their GPA scores.
