Trayvon Martin and OWS Riots

From Breitbart:

Occupy Wall Street protesters used the Trayvon Martin story as their newest excuse for tearing down police barricades and trashing the financial district in New York Wednesday night.

Watch video here.

Ben Shapiro writes:

Videos are streaming into YouTube of Occupy Wall Street protesters running riot through the streets of New York last night, overturning barricades, assaulting and taunting police officers, climbing public monuments. These videos have been posted in support of Trayvon Martin, the black teenager killed by George Zimmerman in Florida. The riots themselves took place in support of Martin; they’re supposedly a part of Occupy’s “Million Hoodie March.”

Meanwhile, the mainstream media has said virtually nothing. Only the foreign press has picked up on the fact that OWS broke into random acts of violent vandalism over Martin.

...So why hasn’t the media caught onto the fact that Occupy Wall Street is violent? They have. They just don’t want to report it. That would spoil their narrative about Rush Limbaugh, incivility, and the brilliant shining light that is Occupy. Instead, police officers will continue to have to take the brunt of the Occupy Wall Street random rage.

Occupy Wall Street just wants an excuse to act out violently.

There is no reason to riot in response to Trayvon Martin's death. The occupiers are exploiting the story.

The fact that the Leftist media are ignoring the violent nature of the OWS protests is inexcusable.
