Rape-plagued Occupy movement holding rally in support of rape victims in Michigan

While offering support to the victims of rape is a lofty endeavor, the irony is thick as Occupy Saginaw, in conjunction with International Women's Day tomorrow, will be holding a rally to draw attention to survivors of sexual assault.

First, it appears that the Occupy Wall Street chant, "The people united will never be divided," is false.

Occupy Saginaw--in a paranoid press release posted by IndyMedia, claims that two former occupiers are trying to sabotage this rally. OS also claims that "it is an open secret that many past cops were serial rapists."

But it is not a secret that there have been sexual assaults at Occupy camps, which Occupy Saginaw doesn't get around to mentioning in their announcement or on their web site.

Last year ABC News wrote of sexual assaults at the Occupy tent city in Manhattan's Zuccotti Park and one in Dallas. Breitbart.com's Big Journalism reported last fall on a whole bunch of sexual assaults, including a gang rape in Scotland, as well as reports that Occupy camps in three cities were advising their rape victims not to contact the police.

Female occupiers at Zuccotti Park were compelled to set up a women's-only safe tent in November.

That's why the late Andrew Breitbart told Occupy protesters at CPAC last month, "Stop raping people."

There haven't been any Occupy sexual assaults in Saginaw.

Occupy Saginaw--hold your rally, but remember the Occupy rape victims tomorrow.

Thanks to Marathon Pundit reader Nanette White for the tip on this story.

UPDATE March 8: In a mainstream media article about today's rally that could have been written by the Occupy Saginaw press office, MLive discusses the scourge of rape--without mentioning the sexual assaults at other Occupy sites. One of the topics of discussion was the need for tougher prosecution of rapes. But as I mentioned a few paragraphs earlier, some occupiers were told not to report being raped to police--according to several sources.
