NEW YORK (AP) -- It was only a few nights after the Occupy protesters began sleeping in his church sanctuary when the Rev. Bob Brashear realized that his laptop was missing.
The refugees from Manhattan's Zuccotti Park had found their way to his cavernous Presbyterian church on a cold winter evening, hoping to stay for a few nights, maybe longer. It was the latest stopover for the nomadic group, which has been living in a rotating series of churches since the city shut down its camp in November.
"There was a sense of shock and sadness that it had happened," said Brashear, whose laptop will soon be replaced by Occupy organizers. "And there's a common understanding that if there's one more theft in the church, that's it."
This is what the Occupy encampment has become: a band of homeless protesters with no place to go. Amid accusations of drug use and sporadic theft, they've been sleeping on church pews for weeks, consuming at least $20,000 of the donations that Occupy Wall Street still has in its coffers. Their existence is being hotly debated at Occupy meetings: Are these people truly "Occupiers" who deserve free food and a roof over their heads?

The good “Rev” better keep watch over his accounts for Identity Theft too.
Anyone who’s shocked that the OWS parasites would steal from him deserves what he gets.
Occupy nowhere?
The punch line "Why are you surprised? -- I'm a scorpion!" comes to mind.

refugees??? An odd way of portraying it.
Mine disappears every time I stand up.
They are the heart and soul of Obamaworld.
Guess that makes God a 1 percenter.
It appears that the zombies they warned us about through film and literature have finally arrived, but instead of flesh to eat, they search out property to steal.
I disagree with their basic premise. Even if these "nomads" really ARE "truly Occupiers", it does not mean they "deserve" free food and a roof over their heads. Quite the opposite, in fact.
“Their existence is being hotly debated at Occupy meetings: Are these people truly “Occupiers” who deserve free food and a roof over their heads?”
Doesn’t everyone deserve everything according to their philosophy? I thought only capitalists were mean enough not to give everyone free food and a home? Why does the Occupy movement discriminate against non-Occupiers? How is that different than not giving benefits to illegal aliens?

Nomad -- A person with no fixed residence who roams about
Maybe they’ll learn how to herd sheep, or hunt pigeons. Nomad is an improvement over professional leech.
