Ms Cornack then read a mental health assessment and told Grant that may explain why he had touched his genitals at his earlier appearance.

She told him he would be bailed and taken to hospital for assessment.

She said he would have to comply with every direction of the mental health service and report to police once a week until his next appearance in three weeks.



Many young people have mental health issues that quite often go untreated for years. Somehow these people slip through the system and will become major problems to society in later years.

Occupy movement makes sense to Ron Paul

While Republican attitudes towards Occupy Wall Street protesters have been largely negative, GOP hopeful Ron Paul aligned himself with those participating in the movement during last night’s televised presidential debate.

In support of the agenda of the thousands of Americans participating in the Occupy movement, Texas Congressman Ron Paul said Wednesday night, “if you’re going after crony capitalism, I’m all for it.”


According to Paul, crony capitalists are those “that benefit from contract from government, benefit from the Federal Reserve, benefit from all the bailouts. They don’t deserve compassion. They deserve taxation or they deserve to have all their benefits removed.”

“But crony capitalism isn’t when someone makes money and they produce a product,” added the candidate. “That is very important. We need to distinguish the two. And unfortunately I think some people mix that.”

As WWIII looms ever closer, the global Occupy movement will gain strength.

WE ARE THE 99%

The year of dissent: Keeping America’s 1% Occupied.

When the Occupy Wall Street movement set up camp in New York’s financial district in September 2011, few people paid much attention to the self-proclaimed 99 per cent. But the tents in Zuccotti Park were like a spark to America’s social kindling.

Soon, the indignant voice of the people spread across the country. People supported a movement aimed at awakening all to the negative effects of the growing, and strangely seldom-questioned, income and wealth disparities in the country.

Staggering national debt, never-ending job cuts and foreclosures, all amid reports of cushy bonuses for Fortune 500 CEOs, drove the Occupy movement beyond America’s borders. Just a few months after the first tents were pitched in NYC, the movement and its ideology were truly global.

It followed on the footsteps of global unrest. The protesters themselves came up with the slogan "Arab Spring, European Summer, American Fall."

But even though it was non-violent, unlike rallies in the Middle East and Africa, these media-savvy youths couldn’t have picked a better time. Recent studies show that the gap between the rich and the poor is the biggest in 30 years. In addition, the US is gearing up for presidential elections in 2012.

RT’s Marina Portnaya, who covered the protests in New York, says this may be why American mainstream media avoided the Occupy movement for as long as possible.

“They were marginalized in the very beginning. But there was a moment when the mainstream media couldn’t ignore the movement, because it became the biggest story in the United States. There were clearly biases and different points of view given from mainstream media outlets here in the United States, because they are owned by corporations and these Americans are talking about corporate influence on US politics,” Portnaya told RT.

And even though the movement has lost some of its momentum after camps were raided by police nationwide, this is most definitely not the last time the Occupiers will be heard from. Politicians and mainstream media outlets may be downplaying their impact on American society, but their influence is evident to most, including historians and collectors.

Internationally known institutions such as the Smithsonian and the New York Historical Society have been busy collecting Occupy artefacts. Having not yet become history, the movement is already seen as worthy of historical preservation and 2011 will always be associated with the rise of the 99 per cent.

Those occupy clowns still at it?  Ahh good on the front bottoms.  I wonder how much the focus of their anger, and the favoured remedy has changed during the year.

It's terrible that people should call for better homeless policies, how dare they.

I suppose it changes with the circumstances. If homelessness gets worse, they'd focus more on that. There's a zillion issues that's causing America to be dysfunctional. The main issue is the ever growing gap between rich and poor, it's what causes revolutions.

You just shut up and do what you're told Wesley, it's not for you to make a scene, there's a good boy, it's for your own good.....feel comforted?

When government and corporate interests collude to bugger the people, what kind of idiot thinks the way to solve the problem is to transfer even more power to one of the parties doing the fking?

An occupy kind of idiot, that's who.
