OWS does not want to give food to the less fortunate.... WTF???
 

Perhaps I'm missing something here. I thought that the OWS movement was all about giving to those who have less? Does that only apply when they use the government to force others to give to the less fortunate? Shouldn't they start by volunteering to give to those who have less than they do? Something doesn't add up here....

"The Occupy Wall Street volunteer kitchen staff launched a “counter” revolution yesterday -- because they’re angry about working 18-hour days to provide food for “professional homeless” people and ex-cons masquerading as protesters.

For three days beginning tomorrow, the cooks will serve only brown rice and other spartan grub instead of the usual menu of organic chicken and vegetables, spaghetti bolognese, and roasted beet and sheep’s-milk-cheese salad."

"Newly sprung ex-cons and vagrants rousted from other parks are crashing the Occupy Wall Street protest, where gourmet meals are free and boozy, drughafueled parties are on tap, the movement’s leaders griped yesterday.

“They’re telling people who leave prison to go to Zuccotti Park,” lamented Daniel Zetah, a leader of the OWS community-relations group.

Volunteer Lauren Digioia, 26, said, “We have drug dealing going on here, gang activity, public intoxication. There are a lot of instigators. There are a lot of vultures.

“Everyone knows we give out free food and sleeping bags, and it’s a perfect opportunity for squatters.”

FEEDING FRENZY: Occupy Wall Street organizers say legitimate protesters like these are being overrun by released Rikers inmates and derelicts who come to Zuccotti Park for the free gourmet meals.

Digioia said she recently met a man who just before getting sprung from Rikers, was told by a fellow inmate to hit Zuccotti for the free accommodations.

The frustrated organizers said they’re brainstorming how to launch a protest within the protest to target the drunken, stoned layabouts."

So wouldn't they WANT to feed the homeless and the ex-convicts who are obviously much more victims of the evil system than the OWS people themselves that are eating so well?


?

That sounds delicious. No wonder the homeless wanted it.

haha that is awesome on so many levels! They'll be begging the homeless guys to give them tips and stick around when it gets cold and all the pussies leave

they aren't running a soup kitchen..

Revolution isn't for everyone ...

It's kind of ironic. This small few, the kitchen staff, decides who gets to eat good food and who doesn't. How can you not laugh at that?

Of course, I don't blame them one bit.

No, you've been listening to the media spin, OWS is about corruption on Wall Street.

God damn the OP is a fucking moron.

Now THAT's what I call an incisive debate tactic! Excellent point! You really got through the logic of your point of view!


.:thumbsup:thumbsup

Screw basing opinions on media spin, that's what the left wingers on this board seem to do when they were judging the tea party as a bunch of racists. I'm basing this on the stuff that I heard when I went down to occupy Miami myself, I've actually been down there twice


.:2 cents:

Yup, because the idiotic videos that moron posts aren't propaganda or a spin, but when someone posts something of the opposite nature, ALL SPIN BABY! Love the double standards and the single minded stupidity of stocktrader23.

Just shut the fuck up, Dave.

kicking people off the teat is what these guys are protesting about.. obviously you haven't been paying attention

They are the 1% of the group.

How Ironic.

You would bitch about the drunks and drugs if they let them come there and eat (which they are indeed doing). If they don't let the drugs and drunks come, well here you are bitching anyway. You are the biggest fucking whiner on GFY, and that's saying something. Sit back and watch the revolution happen, knowing none of your posts will do anything to discourage the movement.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Really? He's the one always starting threads and bitching? Interesting. Or is it possible that his opinion differs from yours and while you blindly support this idiotic movement, you can't be bothered to be objective, that is viewing the other side, so you whine and bitch about said other side. Can we say hypocrite? Also, LOL@revolution.

nice spin...the first couple lines of the actual story tell the real tell though

Alas a new class system arises to replace the old one....... and time marches on. :1orglaugh

so once you get rid of the homeless, the drug dealers, the gang members and the ex cons, the movement is even smaller than reported.
instead of hundreds, there are tens. :1orglaugh

So they occupy the parks and bitch about homeless people who live there?

They are bitching that they don't have jobs, but don't want to staff the kitchens because the homeless are showing up for free food? Don't want to feed the homeless?

What the fucks does OWS want?

Davie, any good spam bots for sale these days? :1orglaugh

Since when is the NY Post considered a real news source? Last time I knew they were right up there with the Enquirer...

I've seen your posts too, your opinion is not considered valid. Take care.

Dave is getting married soon. I hope nobody is evil enough to call in a bomb threat on the day that poor girl makes the biggest mistake of her life. :(

It would have been so cool if HAL, the computer from 2001 A Space Odyssy, had of said that in the movie.

So cool.

Let the homeless start their own damn OWS! Occupy the Occupiers of Wall Street. OOWS.

Indeed. :2 cents:

If you sleep with dogs, you get fleas.

This sounds like a great idea really.

Its not a homeless shelter, it is a protest for a cause. Most of the people down there are drug addict homeless people that are just coming for the food and other free shit. They found guys who just got released from prison down there for the free meal. People who can care less about the cause.

in case you guys didnt get it, OWS is against freeloaders, all kinds of them, either wallstreet people or profesional homeless guys. its not that they are against homeless people, but against profesional homeless people .....

So then they want to qualify who gets help and who doesn't. Classic. After the revolution comrades, only those who have the correct ideology will be given access to power and privilege Same old stuff all over again. No one ever seems to learn, (except for those who are in charge of these movements, and intend to be in charge after they succeed). If they get what
They want, you better be sure you spout the correct stuff, or you will be branded as "not supporting the cause" and there goes your shot at the politburo

I'm not sure what OWS is "against" or what they are for. They seem to be against "big business" but can't live without their iPhones, and they also seem to have no objection to paying $6 for a cup of coffee at Starbucks.

When this first started, I remember watching an interview where the protester was using an iMac and drinking Starbucks. She asked a few great questions, and then asked "Is stock in Apple up or down today". The protester was dumbfounded and failed to understand how the question was relevant. The next question was "How much did you pay for that cup of coffee" and the protester looked at him with stink eyes. It was comical.

So let me see if I understand this correctly... OWS is against freeloaders, but want to take the money away from the big corporations and the 1%, and give that money to.... People who haven't earned it? (i.e. "freeloaders").

That's irony in the strongest sense of the word.

I can relate to that one... let me ask you this: do peole have the right to have kids and then force me to support them?

NYPD to the rescue!
 

It's hard to understand the concept of a group of individuals gathering to protest what that individual would like to see changed. For you, anyway.

But, that sentence of yours says it all, you're not sure what they are against or what they are for, yet you condemn them, judge them, and constantly tell everyone else exactly why they are protesting and against who/what they are protesting.

how does switching from gourmet meals to normal cooking constitute not giving food to the less fortunate.

i think they are upset with the loopholes that the rich have and that regular people don't

corporations for example allow you to pay expenses with pre tax dollars while regular people have to pay them with after tax dollars

corporations pay lower income taxes when regular people do


and so on

it not about taking money away from one group and giving it to another it about taking away the preferential treatment so that everyone has a equal chance to get rich.

once your rich those tax loopholes make it easy as hell to get even richer

while the reverse is also true once your poor it hard and harder to dig yourself out of that whole even if you get a good job.

Another failure to make a point by spermbozo.

I must agree.

Lay off the MSM koolaid sperbonzo :winkwink:

Was at a protest today and they were feeding everyone who was there. :)

Awesome so they spend all that time to get people know the name 99% and now they wanna change it to 98% LOL
