Florida Woman Ditches Her Family to Become a Part of Something Bigger—A Left Wing Mob at OWS.
2011-10-22
A married mother of four from Florida ditched her family to become part of the raggedy mob in Zuccotti Park -- keeping the park clean by day and keeping herself warm at night with the help of a young waiter from Brooklyn.

“I’m not planning on going home,” an unapologetic Stacey Hessler, 38, told The Post yesterday.

“I have no idea what the future holds, but I’m here indefinitely. Forever,” said Hessler, whose home in DeLand sits 911 miles from the tarp she’s been sleeping under.

Hessler -- who ironically is married to a banker -- arrived 12 days ago and planned to stay for a week, but changed her plans after cozying up to some like-minded radicals, including Rami Shamir, 30, a waiter at a French bistro in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn.

#12  I am sorry to say the left is right on track. Time magazine poll has 64% liking the Occupiers over the Tea party. Tea party only got 34%. People in stores and on the street are generally for soaking the rich. That the government is on their side. That they should give Obama a chance instead of fighting him all the time.

Dale, I'd be of (cautiously) good cheer and not worry quite so much that the Left has already won this battle. Polls from Time, CNN, the NY Times or any other Obamedia outfit can't be trusted, are agenda-driven and on numerous past occasions have been caught grossly oversampling Democrats/leftists. Gallup's poll on the Occupiers has 22% supportive, 15% opposing, and 63% not sure. Admittedly the Tea Party movement's doing a plain lousy job of getting its message past the Obamedia, but another Gallup poll shows that all isn't lost in that regard - a recent sample indicates people blame the Federal government more than Wall Street for the financial crisis by a factor of more than 2 to 1.

#11  #5 The decrepit Pete Seeger, 92, paid a visit to the Wall Street bunch.

The article in the Seeger story stated 1/3 (maybe only slightly more) of the American people support OWS. This is about the percentage of people in the Democrat Party.

The other observation is that the lame stream media (=Democrat party) spend a lot of time demonizing the Tea Party and destroying their image.

Go for it Random. Most likely the guy would welcome you with open arms after his initial experience with matrimony.

This is a battle between those who work or produce and those who want to be given their piece of the pie.
Many will benefit from this. Funding is or will come from those who want our country destroyed, foreign and domestic.Guess who will tap that money?. Ben will ride in and O will have his stash to give out to get the vote out. People who get some sort of benefits want it to continue or be increased. The numbers against doing the right thing are staggering. That is the power of Chavez also. He's a big sugar daddy to his people. As long as they think that, he has control.

#8  This chick was a time bomb waiting to go off. I'd give my right eyeball to make a life in Florida with a banker husband and four kids. I wonder if it would be unseemly to forward my CV so soon?

#3  Gonna get damn cold under that tarp in the not to distant future.

Hope hubby also closed out all access to the money, or she could be another trustafarian with delayed onset childishness.

#2  Maybe she has Cindy Sheehan disease.

#1  Just decided to indefinitely abandon four kids, eh? Her "bunkmates" must be supplying the super primo brain candy. If hubby hasn't already filed for divorce and custody, he's a bigger idiot than she. I wonder what she'll think when they're through passing her around and she's "occupying" the gutter. Assuming she's capable of a coherent thought, of course...
