They are fighting for their rights -- to partay! The Occupy Wall Street protest has drawn an unwelcome crowd of freeloaders who joined the movement for the sex, drugs and free food -- and they are blending right in. The opportunists -- ranging from addicts in need of a meal to well-off teens looking to hook up -- have in some cases taken up residence in the demonstrators’ makeshift village in Zuccotti Park, upsetting the movement’s organizers. “Most of the kids are trust-fund babies. They don’t need to be here,” said Andre, 40, an activist. “I’ve seen some making out, having sex. It doesn’t look good.” The anything-goes attitude led to a scare early yesterday morning, when a 23-year-old Brooklyn man nearly overdosed after downing a mix of liquor and Robitussin cough syrup. “He was robo-tripping,” said a woman who knew the man’s first name only, Zachary, and that he had been homeless before camping out in the park starting seven days ago. None of the protesters sleeping next to Zachary noticed he had stopped breathing or that his lips had turned purple. An alert passer-by notified cops, and the man was rushed to Downtown Hospital in serious condition. “If we had not gotten to him when we did, he would have stopped breathing,” a volunteer EMT said. Many of the newcomers to the tent city are attracted by the donated freebies: pizza, sandwiches, fruit, as well as bins of sweaters, pants, boots, even underwear. There are also handout comforters for anyone who wants 40 winks. And with complimentary condoms on hand, a 1960s-style free love has begun to blossom. More than 400 participants spent the night Friday huddling and cuddling in Zuccotti Park. None of which sits well with the movement’s leaders, who set up an internal police group to stop the boozing, pot smoking and hanky-panky. “We want to make sure everyone is here for the right reason,” said Ricky Torres, 23, who is part of the security unit. “Some are homeless and people who are not really up to any good.” Torres said leaders are trying to curb the wild side of the movement. “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.” Meanwhile, hundreds of protesters are scrambling to find a place to bathe and use the bathroom amid rising concern about sanitation in the overwhelmed park. Many rely on the kindness of strangers. “The first five days, I didn’t take a shower. It was rough,” said Patrick Rowe, 48, a carpenter from New Jersey who joined the movement after stumbling across the activists while in the city on a job 11 days ago. But an actor named Anthony with an apartment on the Upper West Side came to his rescue, allowing him to shower there. On Friday night, he took up a similar offer from a woman with a place on the Lower East Side. The movement, Rowe said, “stands for everything I believe in. I’m exhausted. I got rained on. I was cold, but I can’t seem to pull myself away.” Additional reporting by Kevin Sheehan and Rebecca Harshbarger
