OccuDummies: Two OWSers let TV crew film them vandalizing subway cars with stickers, get arrested

Even Barney Fife could have figured this crime out.

Two Occupy Wall Street members, Jeffrey Brewer and Aaron Minter, allowed a New York cable news station videotape them applying stickers emblazoned with "Priority Seating For The 1 Percent" on subway car seats. The doofuses gave their names, which the station dutifully reported, although Minter's real last name is Black--as in there is no light bulb on in his head.

Last night NYPD officers went to Manhattan's Union Square, where Occupy Wall Street hangs out these days, found the two sticker-vandals, and arrested them.

Amazingly, The New York Times actually reported on this story--although it was the City Room section of the paper, which tends to stick to the facts and not Media Matters talking points. The Times says the suspects "have a history of being arrested in the past."
