""And the leadership of the Occupy camps tried to cover up the crimes by "handling them internally.""

jules--->Some people after being attacked don't want the police involved. This is a fact."

Except Jules, this isn't what happened. The leaders of the OWS camp decided FOR THE RAPE VICTIM that it would be handled internally.

""that they had to have a woman's only section (as well as a gay and lesbian sections) for the safety of others."

--->So they choose to protect the women, and the gay and lesbians from gay and lesbian haters... you are complaining about this?"

The mere fact that they had to set up safe zones in the OWS camps proves the camps were a dangerous place as well as many of the protesters were dangerous people.

""Only liberal thinkers like you would try to soft pedal the rapes."

--->I'm not. To say so is just petty fogging. You made a false statement based on one certain fraction of an equation, there were rapists and abusers and anti gay folk who 'blended' in and raped/attacked people at the OWS camps."

No, you're making light of all of it. But anyone reading back on your comments re the Tea Party will see you went out of your way to connect dots between the Tea Party and scandalous people. Like the liberal media, you pushed the racist element of the Tea Party (even when none existed). With the rapes, you make excuses, with the Tea Party you only made accusations. The rapes happened. The racist element is a myth.

--->Just as their have been cases of rapes, sodomy, incest and abuse in Christian Churches by Christians... but that they were Christians is insignificant except to maybe explain how they may have gotten away with such activities. Especially as many within the Christian church covered up such matters and dealt with them internally..

We know not all Brits are rapists.

But in the case of OWS, it happend and was covered up. And not in just one case but s
