It started as a gathering of furious youngsters, protesting about the supposed lack of opportunities for the average American.
But then the freeloaders came along.
As the Occupy Wall Street protest continued in full strength in Manhattan this weekend, the atmosphere in New York's financial district became increasingly debauched.
Makeshift bed: While they may be politically motivated, these two youngsters make the most of the freedom to lie together in public
There for the right reasons? Above the two youngsters is the book The Yage Letters, a collection of writings from the fifties and sixties detailing the search for a hallucinogenic plant in the Amazon rainforest
Also present and infuriating the hard core of activists are a number of teens looking to turn the gathering into an urban rave.
AGENT PROVOCATEUR IN THEIR MIDST: THE RIGHT-WING EDITOR WHO GOT PEPPER-SPRAYED
As anti-war protesters in Washington were being pepper sprayed, an unlikely victim claims he among them.
A box of free condoms is kept in the main area where protesters are camping.
In one shocking picture, a man can be seen defecating on a police car.
Protests against corporate greed and economic inequality spread across America this weekend.
The Occupy Wall Street movement, that began in New York last month with a few people, has now swelled to protests in more than a dozen cities.
Those who are there for political reasons, have raged against corporate greed and influence over American life, the gap between rich and poor, and hapless, corrupt politicians.
Among the activists, however, clearly there are some on the ground with less noble intentions.
'Most of the kids are trust-fund babies. They don’t need to be here,' Andre, a 40-year-old activist told the New York Post.
'I’ve seen some making out, having sex. It doesn’t look good.'
More than 400 people reportedly converged on the tent city on Friday night, with many sleeping with each other.
One pictures shows two young people lying together with very little clothing on under a sheet.
Above them is the book The Yage Letters, a collection of writings from the fifties and sixties detailing the search for a hallucinogenic plant in the Amazon rainforest.
On Saturday morning a 23-year-old man named Zachary was rushed to hospital after drinking a combination of liquor and cough syrup.
He stopped breathing and was rushed in a serious condition to Downtown Hospital.
The leaders of the protest are furious at the manner in which it has been hijacked and have set up a make-shift internal police to stop the debauched behaviour.
'We want to make sure everyone is here for the right reason,' Ricky Torres, 23, who is part of the security unit, told the New York Post.
At the protesters' base, exclusive pictures obtained by MailOnline show one demonstrator relieving himself on a police car.
Elsewhere we found piles of stinking refuse clogging Zuccotti Park and the stench of marijuana, despite the best efforts of many of the protesters to keep the area clean.
The shocking images demonstrate the extent to which conditions have deteriorated as demonstrations in downtown Manhattan enter their fourth week.
Further pictures seen by MailOnline have been censored, as we deemed them too graphic to show.
According to eye witnesses, when people ran to tell nearby police about the man defecating on the squad car they were ignored.
He added: 'If we see someone doing something we think the cops are not going to be down with, we take it upon ourselves to stop it.
We make sure everybody’s doing the right thing -- to be peaceful and not upset the cops because they’re here to protect us.'
Encouraging it? A box full of condoms and other toiletries are handed out free at the protest site
Lawless: An protester demonstrates how to break free of hand restraints at the Occupy Wall Street occupation of Zuccotti Park today
Handcuffed: Crowds of youngsters are shown how to pick the locks in case they are restrained
Brookfield Office Properties, which owns Zuccotti Park, the site of the New York demonstration, have already railed against protesters, who they claim are creating sanitation problems.
'Sanitation is a growing concern,' Brookfield said in a statement.
'Normally the park is cleaned and inspected every week night. . . because the protesters refuse to cooperate. . .the park has not been cleaned since Friday, September 16th and as a result, sanitary conditions have reached unacceptable levels,' CBS News reported.
