You know what happened here? Some city council members from wealthy
parts of town who were already complaining about homeless and how to
get rid of them, started lobbying to get rid of Occupy because if
middle class 20 somethings were camping in the park, then homeless
drunk 50 year old black men would start camping too and we can't have
that! It's ok to camp down by the river in the dark and out of sight,
though, since that is where the homeless live anyway!
