FIVE THINGS: Nazis Amid OWS or Sex Attacks in Queens

October 17, 2011

1. The Occupy Wall Street movement is now endorsed by the American Nazi party, reports Hotair. See the photo accompanying this post? I took that on Wednesday to note certain racist elements in the crowd already. Obviously, not all the protesters are going with it. Note the sign next to the sign.

2. There's been another sex attack in Queens, reports the NYT City Room blog. The post reports that the attack "comes on the heels" of a series of 20 sex attacks in Brooklyn—completely missing the spate of sex attacks recently in Queens, as reported thoroughly by WPIX.

3. As you'll recall, there was an attempted rape . Thankfully, the guy was caught, reports the Bayside Times.

4. For keeping track of your kids, this new App for the iPhone, "Find My Friends," may be useful. But it can also be used for creepy purposes, reports Gawker—so make sure you know what you're using it for, and beware.

5. Also, I'm sure we've had enough about OWS for the day, but I couldn't resist shaing this really great report by Gawker on how the FBI is keeping tabs on Occupy Wall Street with operatives.
