Mostly Peaceful Stabbing at Occupy Baltimore

We haven’t heard much from this freakshow since the rape there awhile back and subsequent attempts to downplay it. Well, apparently conditions there haven’t improved much.


Baltimore Police say a 24-year-old woman was stabbed
during a dispute around midnight Saturday at the Occupy Baltimore
encampment at the Inner Harbor.
According to a police report, officers arrived at McKeldin Square
just after midnight for a report of an assault and spoke to the victim,
who said she and 23-year-old Desiree Nicholson had gotten into an
argument “because [Nicholson] was not taking care of her cat,” according
to report.
She said Nicholson kicked her in the stomach, and then stabbed her on
her arm and thigh with a knife. The victim was taken to Johns Hopkins
Hospital for treatment, police said.
Nicholson, who police said lives in Halethorpe, was charged with
first-degree assault and was being held on $75,000 bond. According to
court records, she does not have a prior criminal record.
The Occupy protest, a local offshoot of the Occupy Wall Street
movement that seeks to call attention to income inequality and other
issues, recently reached its two month anniversary. But it has struggled
at times deal with a dwindling number of core leaders, the seemingly
imminent threat of eviction, and allegations of crime and drug use among
some who have frequented the encampment.
Organizer Annemarie Rush said the victim and suspect have been
staying at the site for “quite some time, but they are not considered to
be active participants in our greater goals.”
That’s always the case, isn’t it? Yeah, well they’re here all the time, but we’ve got nothing to do with them.


Sure.
