Disgusting: Wall Streeters Mock Occupy and Poor People at Fancy Frat Party


One of the things that makes Wall Streeters so unsympathetic is that, even when disdain for their greed has not just spread across America but across the world, they don't seem to realize it. And if they do? Well, they don't give a flying fuck.

Last week, an exclusive Wall Street fraternity, Kappa Beta Phi, held a super-fancy black-tie dinner at the St. Regis Hotel in Manhattan, and a New York Times reporter was able to witness it. What he saw was behavior so appalling and unsympathetic to the plight of the poor it was almost a parody of itself:

The Occupy movement was fodder for several after-dinner skits. In one, a documentary filmed during the protests, James Lebenthal, a bond specialist, joked with a protester whose face was appeared to be tattooed.

“Go home, wash that off your face, and get back to work,” Mr. Lebenthal told the protester.

Reached through his daughter on Friday, Mr. Lebenthal declined to comment.

In another skit, William Mulrow , a senior managing director at the Blackstone Group, put on raggedy clothes to play the part of an Occupy protester. Emil W.

1. I think sending them a picture of a tumbrel going through the streets of Paris is appropriate.

5. Let's hope they soon join the ranks of the unemployed

[MedicalAdmin]

6. They, and every ethically deformed whelp they spawned

Need to be removed from the genetic pool completely and permanently. I don't care much how it happens. And then a chunk of public money mist be devoted to understanding and treating that level of sociopathic douchbaggery so it doesn't happen again.

That's my fantasy anyway. It'll never happen, so maybe we should just insulate the political process from influence on pain of ... something? Maybe a forehead tattoo?

[woo me with science]

7. More contempt.

Americans are growing very tired of the contempt.

[Generic Other]

8. I curse them to feel real hunger in their lives

Not the hunger for wealth and power which has already destroyed their humanity and eaten them alive, but the bone chilling hunger of an empty stomach to add to their moral bankruptcy. A vile plate.

[PA Democrat]

9. This is what happens when there are no negative consequences for

despicable and criminal behavior. These guys need to read their history books. Just because the government has allowed them to get away with less than a slap on the wrist for their thievery does not mean that the public will be as forgiving.

13. Hey! Stop stigmatizing success!

Hope these jerks all end up like those assholes at the Baum Law Firm:

[HughBeaumont]

16. Hell hath no fury like Karma scorned!

The Baum Law Firm party was particularly loathsome.

I wonder if anyone has photos on this latest escapade, or did they have a "no camera" rule?

[raouldukelives]

15. Then they make fun of you. nt

[silverweb]

17. And they call it "envy" when people hate them.

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]I'd rather live in a cardboard box than associate with scum like them.

May they experience True Justice. Soon.

[girl gone mad]

18. Scum.
