NEW YORK -- An "Occupy Wall Street" protester threw a violent fit in a McDonald’s after employees refused to give him free food.
Fisika Bezabeh, 27, ripped a credit-card reader from a counter and threw it at workers at about 2:30am local time Friday at the downtown Manhattan restaurant, which has become a bathroom spot for protesters.
No one was hurt by Bezabeh, who has been seen hanging out with protesters in the occupied park, police sources said.
He was charged with criminal mischief.
Cheryll Forsatz, a McDonald’s spokeswoman, said, “It’s still an ongoing police investigation, and we’re cooperating with the police.”

This is news worthy of national attention?. I thought tabloids at grocery store check outs were bad enough. The Post isn't any better!

Seems like news to me...  If it were a Teaparty Protester that did this the media would be exploding right now...

Yep, sounds like news to me as well.  Unless of course, one has an agenda that doesn't fit this bit of news.

It's only newsworthy if such behavior was already expected from the protesters; perhaps that was nw_hunters point. He believes the Occupiers to be violent and selfish.

It was noteworthy to me because I have been repeatedly told that the Occupy movement is peaceful and selfless. This article seems to demonstrate that what I've been told was wrong. I'm all ears to this news.

I think it is newsworthy, it shows the parasitic tendencies of this group. I would guess if I sympathised with the parasites I would think it unnewsworthy though.

I was attempting to show the gimmmeee gimmmmeeee mindset of these jerks. POWDERMAN.
