Check these links for stories of violence occurring in the “Occupy” tent cities. The victims aren’t supposed to report the crimes, and are often unassisted by those around them, or, those around them, take matters into their own hands.

HONG KONG — China executed two men on Tuesday for their involvement in the contamination of milk products that killed at least six Chinese infants and sickened about 300,000 other children.
The municipal court in Shijiazhuang, in a statement cited by the state news agency Xinhua, said Zhang Yujun was executed for producing and selling hundreds of tons of toxic protein powder, and Geng Jinping was put to death for selling more than 900 tons of contaminated milk.
Dairy producers and middlemen laced milk, milk powders and infant formula with an industrial chemical, melamine, normally used in making plastics, fertilizer and pesticides. The melamine was added to fool inspectors into thinking the milk was high in protein. But the chemical caused kidney stones, kidney failure and other health problems. Children were the most seriously affected.

CNBC Rick Santelli Didn’t Get the Memo

The “Tea Party” movement can actually attribute its “name” to CNBC’s Rick Santelli and his “rant” on the floor of the Chicago Mercantile in February, blasting the government for the stimulus package, the omnibus budget, and basic out-of-control spending.
It appears that Rick was not in on the NBC memo that declared full allegiance to all that is “Obama”:
Not everyone at the NBC Universal umbrella of networks got the gag order memo about the Sept. 12 march on Washington, D.C.
Rick Santelli, who has been a target of the Obama White House and is credited with being the inspiration for the 2009 tea party movement, spoke out about how the media ignored the march. But, a year after the fall of Lehman Brothers, he was making the larger point that the government’s intervention to thwart a financial crisis had been an ineffectual and potentially dangerous maneuver at the expense of taxpayers.
