Let's look at your examples:
http://cleveland.cbslocal.com/2011/10/18/occupy-cleveland-protester-alleges-she-was-raped/So she was a 19 year old with a learning disability, still attending a "high school" who happened to show up and claim to be raped even though the organizers confirmed they don't assign sleeping arrangements, the protest had been peaceful up until the point, the "rapist" hadn't been caught, and nobody knew about it until two weeks later when she went to the police? Yeah, I'll believe her claim when the rapist is arrested.

The methadone-addled man freeloading off the Wall Street protest -- who told The Post there are warrants out for his arrest -- was collared yesterday for allegedly groping a young woman.
So he was a panhandler and not a member of Occupy. Thank you.
A source within the Dallas Police Department who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the ongoing investigation said the girl ran away from home in Garland last month and that she is now refusing to cooperate with investigators. She initially told officers that she had sex with a man in his early twenties and had engaged in sexual activity with several other people.
Correct me if I'm wrongo...She was a 14 year old runaway who won't cooperate with investigators? Aside from the fact that a huge group of people assembled in a park like this would be the
perfect place for a runaway to hide, I'm not buying her story. Apparently, the police aren't either.
Ok. This may or may not be the truth, even coming from Fox. We may or may not have one case nationwide of a possible sexual assault at an OWC camp, one of hundreds containing hundreds of thousands of people.
But...then we hear about this and I'm becoming sceptical of any rape claims:
OMFG.
BRETIBART? Teamed with a zealot FOX station trotting out an anonymous chick who tells them that she was raped but she didn't go to the hospital, police or anything???
Haven't you learned anything yet? Check

As Occupy Baltimore rape charge fizzles, security and homeless issues remain
Recent days have hung heavy for Occupy Baltimore. The group has struggled with allegations of sexual assault, revised its sexual assault policy in the face of criticism from, among other sources, a nationally known right-wing website, dealt with an influx of homeless people to their encampment and gotten ensnarled in a shoving incident involving a Fox 45 television news crew filming a critical report.
“I’m a little frustrated. There’s been this scandal-finding approach taken by television journalists with no attempt to actually communicate with people here,” said Ian Logsdon, a member of Occupy Baltimore’s media team.
Never mind that the sexual-assault-at-Occupy-Baltimore allegation that clattered around in the local news cycle for 24 hours turned out to be unfounded. With some in the blogosphere and local media poised to weave any whiff of trouble at Occupy into a dark new narrative, Logsdon remarked, “I’m beginning to hate Twitter.”
In a statement released yesterday, Baltimore City Police Det. Jeremy Silbert said, “At this time, the facts and evidence do not suggest that a sex offense occurred.”
So we have Breitbart, Fox, and all these conservative websites trotting out potentially fabricated stories to discredit the OWC protesters. Gosh. Where's
Jimmy O'Keefe whent they need him??
O’Keefe’s vision, pieced together from court filings, interviews and tax records filed by his nonprofit Project Veritas, has been hampered by bitter infighting, lack of funding and even his own fame.
And O’Keefe has begun to fight back, preparing lawsuits against two former associates-turned-critics — one who claims O’Keefe had little to do with his biggest post-ACORN exposé, focused on NPR, and another former colleague who says she backed out of a project last month because of O’Keefe’s lack of professionalism.
The mounting turmoil comes as O’Keefe’s recent efforts — including an apparently ongoing media bias exposé called “To Catch a Journalist” and an effort to highlight the hypocrisy of Occupy Wall Street protesters — have mostly fallen flat.
I guess Andy cut him off.
Anyhow, I guess police agree with me. Most, if not all of the problems involved with the OWS movement are logistically challenged, based upon the groups taking over public parks and other areas frequented by lowlifes, rapists, and the homeless. Not the people within the groups.
So why are they beating peaceful protesters? Why are they tazing, pepper spraying, and arresting peaceful protesters?
