There Are Now Occupy Wall Street ‘Pirates’
Occupy Wall Street, having been booted from park after park in New York City, has now taken to the high seas. Or, at least, a small group of self-styled "occu-pirates" has. As DNAinfo reports, Tom Fox, an OWS supporter who owns a 30-foot sailboat, tried to sail from the 79th Street Boat Basin to Staten Island with a floating drum circle and five fellow supporters; the Parks Department's Dockmaster told Fox the noise was unacceptable. They've now reached a compromise, wherein Fox and friends aren't allowed to drum between 70th and 11oth streets. So in case you were wondering: The Upper West Side is officially a pirate-free zone, which sounds about right.
