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 today, the atmosphere in New York's financial district has become increasingly debauched.

Meanwhile the protests against the state of the U.S. political and economic systems have now spread to more than 25 cities - from Sacramento to Seattle, Anchorage to Atlanta and Mobile to Minneapolis.

Conspicuously living among the politically active in the makeshift village in Zuccotti Park are opportunistic junkies and homeless people - making the most of the free food on offer.

Where are the protests happening?

Boston, MA; Philadelphia, PA; Washington, DC; Chicago, IL; Burlington, VT; Richmond, VA; Charlotte, NC; Atlanta, GA; New York, NY; Jacksonville, FL; Miami, FL; Tampa, FL; Mobile, AL; Cincinnati, OH; Indianapolis, IN; Minneapolis, MN; Austin, TX; Dallas, TX; Denver, CO; Las Vegas, NV; San Diego, CA; Los Angeles, CA; San Francisco, CA; Sacramento, CA; San Jose, CA; Portland, OR; Seattle, WA; Anchorage, AK.

Also present and infuriating the hard core of activists are a number of teens looking to turn the gathering into an urban rave.

Among the banners and flags are now discarded packets of condoms, cigarettes and bottles of spirits, while naked youngsters happily get together with just sleeping bags covering their modesty.

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.

‘I got warrants. I’m running from the law,’ a 24-year-old man from Stamford, Connecticut, told the New York Post. ‘I’m not even supposed to be here, but it’s as good a spot as any to hide.’

Protesters said the site smells like a sewer and the free condoms have given visions of what the Woodstock festival was like. But many have come down for the huge amount of food donated.

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 swelled.

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.'

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.

Patrick Howley, the editor of the Right-wing political magazine, The American Spectator, says he joined the anti-war marchers as they tried to storm the National Air and Space Museum. He wrote in his publication: ‘As far as anyone knew I was part of this cause — a cause that I had infiltrated the day before in order to mock and undermine in the pages of The American Spectator — and I wasn’t giving up before I had my story.’

And, after teasingly claiming he was the ‘only one who got inside’, the apparent agent provocateur, said he was attacked by a security guard with pepper spray.

He wrote: ‘After sneaking past the guard at the first entrance, I found myself trapped in a small entranceway outside the second interior door behind a muscle-bound Left-wing fanatic and a heavyset guard.

‘The fanatic shoved the guard and the guard shoved back, hard, sending this comrade - and, by domino effect, me - sprawling against the wall.

‘After squeezing myself out from under him, I sprinted toward the door. Then I got hit.

‘Being pepper-sprayed is a singularly agonizing experience - enormously painful, but even worse for a hypochondriac.

‘When the spray begins soaking into your eyeball, swelling your eyelids and rendering them largely inoperable, it's hard not to worry that you might soon have to invest in stronger-prescription glasses.’



More than 400 people reportedly converged on the tent city on Friday night, with many sleeping with each other.

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, e xclusive 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.

'Some are homeless and people who are not really up to any good.'

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.'



In quotes: How Occupy Wall Street is dividing Democrats and Republicans

‘I am increasingly concerned about the growing mobs occupying Wall Street and other cities across our country'

House Majority Leader Eric Cantor 'I support the message to the establishment, whether it's Wall Street or the political establishment and the rest, that change has to happen'

House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi 'They're trying to take away the tax base we have, because none of this is good for tourism'

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg 'The proof is quite simply the bankers and the people on Wall Street didn't write these failed policies of the Obama administration'

GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain 'We have had a strain of hostility to free enterprise. And frankly a strain of hostility to classic America starting in our academic institutions and spreading across this country'

GOP presidential candidate Newt Gingrich 'We realise that Occupy Wall Street is calling for systemic change. We are honoured to join you in this call to take back our nation and democracy'

The Yage Letters by William Burroughs

The protesters spotted sleeping with each other in New York were reading The Yage Letters by William Burroughs. The book is a collection of letters between Mr Burroughs and poet Allen Ginsberg from the 1950s about the search for the hallucinogenic drug Yage in the Amazon rainforest. Mr Burroughs's other well-known books include Junky, Naked Lunch and Queer.



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.



Although many of the protesters are understood to be making strenuous efforts to clean up after themselves, after three weeks of occupation, the strain of hundreds of people living on the street has begun to take its toll.

Authorities warned of a dramatic crackdown on Wall Street demonstrators, as the protests spread across America. INSIDE MAN: IS PRESIDENT OBAMA SUPPORTING THE PROTESTERS?

Despite claiming to represent 'the 99 per cent', not all Americans are behind the Wall Street protests. But according to the Financial Times, the President himself is unofficially backing their cause. The paper wrote: 'While not endorsing the protests, Barack Obama and Joe Biden have expressed understanding of the movement that has spread rapidly across the country.

'Mr Obama said people were angry because Wall Street had not been 'following the rules'. 'His vice-president even compared the movement on Thursday to the Tea Party, the conservative movement which has upended national politics in the past two years.' NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly has promised that if protesters targeted the police, authorities will respond with 'force.' Kelly blamed activists for starting the skirmishes with police that led to 28 arrests yesterday.

Most were arrested for disorderly behaviour, according to reports. 'They’re going to be met with force when they do that — this is just common sense,' Kelly said. 'These people wanted to have confrontation with the police for whatever reason. Somehow, I guess it works to their purposes.'

Mayor Bloomberg added his voice to the furore, accusing the Wall Street demonstrators of putting the city's economy at risk, the New York Post reported.

New York mayor Michael Bloomberg attacked protesters today, saying the demonstrations were harming the city.

He said: 'What they're trying to do is take the jobs away from people working in this city.



'They're trying to take away the tax base we have because none of this is good for tourism.'

'If the jobs they are trying to get rid of in this city -- the people that work in finance, which is a big part of our economy-- we're not going to have any money to pay our municipal employees or clean the blocks or anything else.'

Hundreds of people have been arrested in New York since the protests began last month. On Wednesday, the biggest crowd so far of about 5,000 people marched on New York's financial district, and police used pepper spray on some protesters. But protests for the most part have been non-violent.
