Occupy Boston: Two living in ‘Tent City’ with child busted for dealing heroin

Well, this is one thing the Occupy... rallies have over the Tea Party rallies. Wonder if the dealers are going to lose their RomneyCare?

Two living in Occupy Boston ‘Tent City’ with child busted for dealing heroin

Two people camping out with Occupy Boston on the Rose Kennedy Greenway with a 6-year-old child have been arrested and charged with dealing heroin.

According to police, they have received multiple tips of drug activity in and around Occupy Boston’s ‘Tent City’ in Dewy Square.

Undercover officers entered the camp and were able to secure a phone number to call for heroin. After calling the number, officers were instructed to meet at South Station for the deal.

After officers purchased the heroin, the suspect, 34-year-old Isaac Bell of Boston, was followed back to “Tent City’ were he was placed under arrest.

31-year-old Charlene Dumont - who was staying in a tent with Bell - was also charged with dealing heroin within 1000 feet of a school zone.

The child, a 6 year-old boy, was released into the custody of a family member.

Millions???

Please...tell me you don't believe there are millions of people out protesting in the US.


Groups always get judged based on it's participants...that's just the way it is. If there was more organization and some leaders...they could stomp out activity like this.

But OWS is insistent on being leaderless...so anyone becomes an official representative of the movement as a whole.

Let me get this straight:
The cops bought heroin from this guy, then followed him ALL THE WAY back to the tent city to arrest him? I've seen those "caught on camera" type shows. As soon as money changes hands twenty people come flying out of a closet tackling everyone not wearing a powdered sugar mustache. I mean, if that isn't a blatant attempt at trying to paint the Occupy movement in a negative light, I don't know what is.
Sure there are drugs being sold at protests. There are also drugs being sold in schools, in theatres, at proms, in old folks homes, and by our very own boys in blue. That doesn't affect the credibility of the rest of the THOUSANDS of people gathered around the country battling global corruption.

Yeah, the "NO DRUGS OR ALCOHOL" signs at occupykc really shout "Bring your heroin here please!". One bad apple might spoil the bunch, but humans are not apples.

Some more to mull over. Enjoy.

More people watch American Idol than are protesting in across the country and yeah what a double standard by those supporters of OWS ask them what the think of the Tea Party and not one of them has something nice to say about them.

Why just last nite i witnessed poster belittle the right of using vitriol and other rhetoric and degnigrated the TPM one post later using a disparaging term for them.

The hypocrisy is thick it's always the pot calling the kettle as to the op lot's of not so nice things are happening at OWS "tent cities".

Really neo? So I've take it you've confirmed this by going to an occupy protest, and asking around? Care to ask me what I think of the Tea Party? Maybe you should have asked this guy, carrying a "Don't Tread On Me" flag at an occupy KC rally:

The one thing that the OWS movements have over the Tea Party is that it isn't a political movement. It's a movement of the people. It includes Democrats, Republicans, Tea Party members, Liberals, Socialists, Nazi's, Facists, Communists, Republic enthusiasts, Democratic enthusiasts, Classical Liberals, Realists, KKK members, Black Panther Members, La Raza members, Guardian Angel Members, Hippies, Capitalists, New Agers, Christians, Buddhists, Islamist, Jews, Hindus, Blacks, Whites, Asians, Hispanics, Union members, Anti Union members, White Collar workers, Blue Collar workers, and everything in between and outside that I did not mention.

This is a movement that is all encompassing, willing to to look past the differences in belief and social value all for the sake of targeting those who would think themselves our masters. This isn't an Obama Re-election campaign. This isn't a Ron Paul revolution. This isn't a socialist uprising. This isn't the end to capitalism.

This is the people standing up, standing together, and fighting their common enemy.

Of course some opportunists are going to set up camp and try to make money, are you that dense that you would think such a thing wouldn't happen? Go back to Rush, Beck, and Fox & Friends. Good night willfully ignorant sleep walker. Your awakening will be the most violent to the spirit of them all.

I have you the part time OWS supporter who runs back to ATS to rebuke what i say isn't that good enough?

Guess not guess i have to drive 100 miles because the sanity of where i live hasn't been infected with pure mass manipulation of people trying to take down the "system".

It's ridiculous to say, because it's leaderless anybody can take it and claim it.
It's leaderless so no one person can represent it, that's the whole point.

Everyone has pictures.

What...hey...those are just random "isolated" incidents.

I mean in any gathering you are going to have women get raped, police cars pooped on, doorsteps pooped on, coast guard member spit on, people walking to work yelled at....I mean you can't judge the whole movement by these little "isolated" incidents.

I've heard a few people say this about the "enemy" now.

Exactly who is the "enemy"

Go back to Rush, Beck, and Fox & Friends.

And you had a big little speech about unity and all....and then this.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan of any of those...but it's funny that you contradict yourself in the very same post.

reply to post by OutKast Searcher


Yup. There's no way those 'isolated incidents' can be signs of deeper troubles within the direction, or lack thereof, of this 'movement'.





Yup. Isolated.

This is a move by all who have been wronged by the injustices of the system of greed that has swept the world, and ALL are affected. The OP wants to talk about drugs in the park, when the system, the pharmaceutical companies place people on meds and vaccines that carry life altering and lethal side effects, side effects that are sometimes amplifications of the very illnesses that they are suppose to treat, and in some cases these meds and vaccines are pushed by legislation.
OWS wants to rid the world of these practices and you spend your days lobbying against them? I see no justification for that. OWS has ideas that conflict, sure, but any group created out of so wide a base would have conflicting views, but they all have something very important in common; they want to correct the problem that has been the source of global woes for so long. They want to find a common ground that doesn’t involve slavery, classism, thievery, and war. That’s the idea.

No one said it would be easy. No one said it wouldn't be complicated. There is much work to do, but siding with those who have created this problem, which is what you do when you try to derail its progress, isn’t going to solve anything except continue the status quo on her marry way.

Tea Party Co-Founder Supports Occupy

New York Republicans Don't Support All Views, But Support Movement And General Direction

There will always be those lost souls in the crowd, and the larger the crowd, the more lost souls there will be, but that's no reason to condemn an entire movement. If you believe there is something wrong with the country, but don't agree with the protesters, go down to a local Occupy Rally and make your voice heard. If you believe there is nothing wrong with the system and wish the status quo to continue.... well... too bad. As Bob Dylan once sang, "Times they are a changin"

reply to post by neo96


Sure, there are some communists and socialists that have taken part in marches and rallies. I haven't spoken to any or even encountered any at occupykc, but there have been more than a couple based on those images. That doesn't mean we're all communists/socialists.

You're not accusing me of being a socialist or a communist, are you? I've met some fine people there, and none of them have tried to convert anybody to communism/socialism.

Like that dude said earlier, there are people of all political backgrounds at these protests, the Tea Party included. Regardless of that, we are trying to make this country a better place, do you not agree?

Sorry...I don't subscribe to the "you are with us or against us" mentality.



I support specific issues...not vague movements.

reply to post by FugitiveSoul


I support the idea behind the Occupy... movement, just not the execution of this embarrassment. As I said before when this thing was first starting, by June of next year, if this movement lasts that long, a majority of the signs at these rallies will be Obama 2012, because that is the direction the financiers of this movement want it to move in and the majority of clueless attendees will just follow without question.
