MYFOXNY.COM - An Occupy Wall Street protestor was arrested early Friday after a violent rampage at a McDonald's that refused to offer him free food.
The NYPD says it happened at about 2:45 a.m. at a McDonald's near the make-shift tent city in Zuccotti Park.
The man, who had not been identified, went into the world's largest restaurant chain and demanded free food, apparently craving a burger over the gourmet food being served in the park.
The people behind the counter, who are working instead of protesting, were not about to offer the man free food.
The protester then turned violent, even breaking a machine inside of the store before police arrived and arrested the 27-year-old.
There have been growing concerns about security and lawlessness among the protesters.  Earlier this week, a cook at the camp was arrested on sex charges.
And video surfaced Friday morning showing two of the protesters having a fist fight inside of the park.
Mayor Bloomberg noted Thursday that instead of going to the police, the group is simply kicking law-breakers out of the park and allowing them to go free into the city.

That which I've highlighted in red, would never pass a copy editor in real journalism venues.  A combination of sensationalism and editorializing makes the FOX contribution a classic mouthpiece for anti-OWS concerns.  The most interesting part was that the "protestor" hadn't been indentified......LMAO

Pass this along to your Conservative friends that say FOX is "fair and balanced".

There hasn't been much real "journalism" in a loooong time in any of the forms of media. For example, in print media neither the writers nor the newspapers themselves bother to do any proofreading. You only have to look at the Olympian, for example. People point out errors in their comments, and nobody fixes them!!! Jeremy Pawloski is a prime example-- when you see his byline, start looking for the typos, poor grammar, and just plain bad writing. Sheesh....
