Occupy Boston has been encouraging protesters to take showers, hot meals and shelter meant for the homeless, prompting a St. Francis House manager to ask the downtown campers to remove directions from their Internet newspaper.

The online publication that calls itself “Occupy Boston Globe” posts meal times and shower hours at St. Francis House on Boylston Street, which runs on private donations and state and federal funding.

Occupiers to homeless - "Up yours."

That shows much the Left cares about the poor. Revolutionaries get first digs. Why?

Because on the OWS Animal Farm, some folks are more equal than others.

Stealing from the homeless - great bunch.

Isn't there some fraud involved in this? These federal funds are to provide aid to the homeless. If they're not homeless, they are STEALING.

Can you imagine if the Tea Party folk did just ONE of these things?

These “Occupiers” not only want to steal from the rich but also the poor. What a bunch of pigs.

St. Francis House should just close it's doors and post a sign that OWS took all the food and there is no more.

The homeless might be a little pissed.

Make the OWS crowd sit through a fire and brimstone sermon before they eat that would deter many of them.

Calling them pigs is an insult to pigs. I prefer to call them sub-human creatures.

Why don’t the OWS protesters go home to their studio loft apartments or mommy’s house to take a shower and get a hot meal? Mommy will even wash their J.Crew “workin’ man” clothing. No sense in stealing from the poor and needy.

Poor Heather. She didn't know someone had added an additional item to the OWS announcements list.

Heather looks positively 1% , maybe 1/2%.

That jacket alone costs more than most 99% ‘ers make in a month of take home pay.

Low life, left wing freeloaders. They even steal from the poorer. I thought we working people had it bad. At least we can still afford to buy a loaf of bread.

Stealing from the homeless. That says a lot about the Brownshirts.

It’s been interesting to read through the comments. The press keeps saying that there’s a lot of support for the occupiers, but I’m sure not seeing that based on the comments.

We may get snow tonight. I wonder when our occupiers are going to realize that it won’t be long before the windchill is in the minus degrees? Time for the kids to go back to mommy and daddy.

That's just wrong!
My daughter volunteers at a local charity, and intuitively knew to decline polite offers of a plate of leftover food to “take home”.
If there were “leftovers” from specific meals, the people who operate the shelter had something to give to latecomers, or the people who sheltered there could have a rare extra snack, later that night.

We have a place to live. We have food at our house. We have a stove to cook it on, and a refrigerater to store food in. We have clean water for drinking and showering. We have electricity to power our appliances.
I work hard to pay for those things, and also a few extra’s.

That “OWS protesters” or anyone else, are even able to justify to themselves that thieving from charitable organizations is somehow admirable or permissible...

The homeless might be a little pissed.

I was wondering about that. There are a lot of disturbed people among the homeless and if some of 'em work up a grudge against the OWS, it could get ugly.

That would be a shame.

Thanks chessplayer.

They are sort of reverse Robin Hoods. Steal from the poor to support themselves.
