From Marathon Pundit:

After hovering just under the 6,000 arrest mark for a week, the Occupy Wall Street movement roared past it yesterday, thanks to 37 busts at a Brooklyn protest. The Occupy Arrests site now lists 6,025 confirmed arrests.

As I’ve said many times before, I’m still waiting for that first Tea Party arrest.

Yet, from the way the two movements are portrayed in the media, you’d think the tea partiers are a bunch of dangerous extremists and the Occupy Wall Street types are just a bunch of peaceful everymans looking to make a difference.
