Robin Leach, after reviewing the photo slideshow of the home of the progressive and occupy movement arrested, would wonder where’s the script for the next show of the “Lifestyles Of The Rich And Famous”! Image Credit: wikipedia.com

Homes Of The Progressive And Occupy Protest Minded

If one reviews the public information available through arrest records, one finds out that folks who get arrested at an Occupy Movement protest rally might be good candidates for a reality TV revival of Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous.

In an investigative report and slideshow originally issued by the Daily Caller, it becomes pretty eye-opening to see just who the self-called 99% of the people really are if arrest records are any gauge.

This excerpted and edited from the Daily Caller –

NYC arrest records: Many Occupy Wall Street protesters live in luxury
By Will Rahn – Published: 12:45 AM 11/02/2011 | Updated: 10:32 AM 11/02/2011

For each of the 984 Occupy Wall Street protesters arrested in New York City between September 18 and October 15, police collected and filed an information sheet recording the arrestee’s name, age, sex, criminal charge, home address and — in most cases — race. The Daily Caller has obtained all of this information from a source in the New York City government.

Among addresses for which information is available, single-family homes listed on those police intake forms have a median value of $305,000 — a far higher number than the $185,400 median value of owner-occupied housing units in the United States.

Some of the homes where “Occupy” arrestees reside, viewed through Google Maps and the Multiple Listing Service real estate database, are the definition of opulence.

Using county assessors and online resources such as Zillow.com, TheDC estimated property values and rents for 87 percent of the homes and 59 percent of the apartments listed in the arrest records.

Even in the nation’s currently depressed housing market, at least 95 of the protesters’ residences are worth approximately $500,000 or more. (RELATED SLIDESHOW: Opulent homes of the ’99 percent’)

The median monthly rent for those living in apartments whose information is readily available is $1,850.

Of the 984 protesters arrested, at least 797 are white. The median age of “Occupy” protesters taken into custody is 27 years.

Exposed to this type of eye-opening information, one could easily project that this Occupy Movement is NOT what the protesters say it is about. This protest action is just Progressive Chaos Creation 101 for a big, bigger, biggest federal government thanks to the SEIU, AFL-CIO, any public sector union, community organizing groups formally known as ACORN, and the Democrat Political Party. This is just another episode in the Lifestyles of the Progressive And Occupy Protest Minded rich people!

Socialistic “champagne wishes and caviar dreams” … where is Robin Leach when we need him?

The American liberal victim. Society is always aligned against them and conspires to keep them down and suffering. LOL.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ....

If there is a time I like seeing folks hauled in for inappropriate civil disobedience, it's with this crowd! We know that they really know the grievance is with the way Washington D.C. and the "Ruling Class" has tarnished the BRAND that is the United States. These folks are "tools" of the Ruling Class.

And we know that the ruling class has a Republican agenda. LOL.

Well actually, the agenda for both Political Party's is similar. For them, a Big Government is not too much of a problem. Both shy away from the Constitution, the Bill-Of-Rights, and the Rule-Of-Law.

That's the party's agendas and I agree that there isn't much separating them, especially since the GOP has been a haven for Democrats since day one. The myth of the two party system.

However the political left always claim that the businessman, the corporation, the 1% are Republicans or Conservatives and have an agenda that is detrimental to the other 99% . That the 1% owe the 99% a social debt.

Like Steve Lerner and the SEIU stating that "Wall Street" stole the 700 billion TARP from the 99%. That the TARP was divided between the Banks, GM, and Chrysler, or that The Dodd-Frank financial overhaul law essentially capped the amount of TARP money that could be used at $475 billion, of which more than 70% has been repaid- doesn't seem to matter much to the rhetoric espoused by those attacking Wall Street in the name of that social debt.

Sadly, we will never have these same people "occupying" in defense of the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, or the Rule of Law. Just like we'll never have Lerner and his "occupiers" outside Fannie-Mae and Freddie-Mac protesting the projected 259 billion loss that will never be returned to the public treasury, aka the 99%.
