Not much else to say, except to note that it all allegedly started when the woman told these winners to stop trying to start a riot in her neighborhood. And that part of the evidence against said winners is a video of the incident, which was apparently filmed by other Occupiers. Note that none of them actually stepped in to stop the robbery in the first place…
