Maxine Waters about criminal element at Occupy sites: “That’s life, and it happens!”

I guess that ethics investigation into The Socialist Queen isn’t going anywhere?  Must not be, for her to continue parroting stupidity like this with impunity:

When asked to comment Wednesday about the deaths and crimes that have occurred around Occupy protests being held across the country, Rep. Maxine Waters said “that’s life and it happens.”

“That’s a distraction from the goals of the protesters,” Waters, who says she supports the Occupy movement, told CNSNews.com after an event at the Capitol sponsored by the Congressional Progressive Caucus.

Video and full comment at the link, so don’t take my word for it.

Yeah, Maxy.  Let’s take a look at just a couple of things that “happen” at Occupy sites:

The Associated Press reported that there have been at least three deaths recently at or near Occupy encampments. A man was shot and killed near the scene of the Occupy camp in Oakland, Calif. A man reportedly shot himself at the Occupy camp in Burlington, Vt. And a man was discovered dead in a tent at the Salt Lake City, Utah, Occupy camp.

At the Occupy L.A. site—in the city where Rep. Waters’ congressional district is located—five people have been charged with crimes, according to the Los Angeles Times. These include a man who allegedly exposed himself and masturbated in the presence of children.

Hmmm.  So exposing yourself to kids and playing “tug-of-war with the cyclops” is all part and parcel of the Occupy movement?  OK, got it.  Thanks for the clarification, Max.

This is the same woman who said “As far as I’m concerned, the ‘Tea Party’ can go straight to hell.”  I’d say that since there haven’t been ANY arrests at Tea Party events, and since no Tea Partiers of which I’ve heard have killed anyone or dropped trow in front of children, I’d say that the Occupiers are a better representative of Hell than anyone on the right.
