Vagrants/Homeless plussed up this rally by at least ten people....not really a big number, but they were there and mostly ignored.
This group may have ignored them, but from what I understand the protestors in NY have been sharing their food with the homeless. Perhaps others have, perhaps not, but it's hardly THE thing that proves they are as bad as corporations. It does not seem to me that the protestors are under some delusion that the corporations and financial institutions will listen to them and be moved to operate as assets to their community instead of mindless predators... or perhaps not so mindless.

What a surprise.
If the protestors are Ignoring the homeless and vagrants, then they are just as bad as the corporations ignoring the said people protesting.
Got to love the irony in that.edit on 6-10-2011 by Manhater because: (no reason given)edit on 6-10-2011 by Manhater because: (no reason given)

I had much the same thoughts.
Cleveland has been struck pretty bad, much like the rest of the nation, by this economy.
If you go downtown in any city, the homeless & panhandlers are almost always ignored.
It eventually becomes a ingrained thing and they just become part of the landscape, much like a tree. Something you may notice, but pay no attention to.
