Reader: Occupy Denver could find better places to house the homeless

• Wingnut ideology clearly motivates your ridiculous question.  You do not believe in collective responsibility for the homeless people in our City, and you have not a shred of compassion for the homeless -- you despise them.  Amoral creep!

• People have mostly camped on the sidewalk since the last mass assault on the (four) tents, but people have slept in tents within Civic Center Park within the past week.

• Perhaps if he refrained from feeding the squirrels the critters wouldn't get so fat.

• Especially sheep that sleep on sidewalks pretending to "protest" something they know nothing about.

• No, they are sleeping on the sidewalk. They are not in the park itself, nobody is in there to pay attention to them. Call me names all you like, it only exemplifies how little you actually know.

• To answer your second question, many, many people are idiots or liars, and as for ignorance, it is the common state of humankind prior to being educated, and many people prefer to remain in it.

• Speaking of making things up to fill in the obvious gaps, Robert, have you ever wondered why you get into so many arguments on the Westword blogs?  Do you think it's that so many others are actually "idiots," "liars," and "ignorant," or do you think it's that you're a sad, pathetic little man screaming for the attention that your parents never gave you?

• Robert lives under a bush in Cheeseman Park.  He has no doors, and his live-in squirrel lovers would be jealous.

• How about Robert Chase or Corey Donahue's house? They are the ones most often defending the rights of the occupiers on the WW blogs. Why don't they open their doors to these people instead of forcing them to live on the streets?

• I know from firsthand experience that you are completely wrong.  The protest is confined to a tiny strip at the eastern extremity of Civic Center Park.  I believe that you are quite deliberate in your misrepresentations, i.e. you are a liar!

• I don't watch TV. I've seen the people, their vandalism, their tarps, their "shelters" and their faces (the ones that aren't hiding them in cowardice) with my own eyes. OD is not a protest, they are just homeless people from the metro area that gathered onto one section of sidewalk. They aren't protesting anything, they are just making the park very unwelcoming to taxpayers and tourists.

• The media's conceit that protesters have (significantly) damaged public property has been eagerly seized upon by the wingnuts, and repeated so often that those easily hypnotizable are now bleating the same nonsense.  The homeless are treated as though they were rhetorical footballs; some commenters insisting that there are no protesters in Civic Center Park (only scummy homeless people), others claiming that OD forced the homeless out of the Park as their first order of business; the common thread being that the corporate media has been so disinformative that people's minds must make things up to fill in the obvious gaps in the media's narrative of lies.  The notion of acquiring information firsthand is quite alien to TV-addled brains.

• I'd like to see them go to either 1130 Park Avenue West or 2111 Champa Street.

• Bring back the Freedom Kage from the DNC!!
