    Nkrumah Tinsley was arrested by police Wednesday at the encampment in lower Manhattan. Video posted online shows Tinsley saying he was going to “burn down the city” on Thursday, when many protests were planned across the country. He also threatened to attack Macy’s.

    Police spokesman Paul Browne said authorities were concerned enough about to want him in custody. Police say it wasn’t clear if Tinsley had any bomb-making materials. There was no telephone number at his last known address.

    He was also arrested on a charge of assaulting a police officer on Oct. 26 during another protest.

    I love the way the media picks one angry radical protester and turns all the protesters into what they, they media, want everyone to believe is the ideals and values of all the protesters. While i don’t consider myself a OWS person i still think that their are many points that are being made by the protesters that are very threatening to a certain elite segment of America and especially the media elite..

    Well how come the media didn’t report this by the tea party movement? Oh yeah that’s right they didn’t threat to attack stores with a Molotov cocktails or burn down the city.

    Again, please go down to Zuccotti Park and see for yourself, most of these people are a bunch of lowlifes that don’t want to even hold a job, they just want free handouts.

    They might make valid points but there are better ways to get their message across. There is a reason why the Tea Party movement has a more favorable ratings than this group does.
