Troubling: #OWS kitchen staff no longer wants to share the wealth #OccupyCLT
I’m literally laughing out loud. Thanks, NY Post (hat tip):
The Occupy Wall Street volunteer kitchen staff launched a “counter” revolution yesterday — because they’re angry about working 18-hour days to provide food for “professional homeless” people and ex-cons masquerading as protesters.
For three days beginning tomorrow, the cooks will serve only brown rice and other spartan grub instead of the usual menu of organic chicken and vegetables, spaghetti bolognese, and roasted beet and sheep’s-milk-cheese salad.
They will also provide directions to local soup kitchens for the vagrants, criminals and other freeloaders who have been descending on Zuccotti Park in increasing numbers every day.
My question: How can they tell the difference?
Continuing:
The Assembly officially approved the three-day menu crackdown announced earlier in the day — insisting everybody would be fed something during that period.
Some protesters threatened that the high-end meals could be cut off completely if the vagrants and criminals don’t disperse.
Unhappiness with their unwelcome guests was apparent throughout the day.
“We need to limit the amount of food we’re putting out” to curb the influx of derelicts, said Rafael Moreno, a kitchen volunteer.
A security volunteer added that the cooks felt “overworked and underappreciated.”
Many of those being fed “are professional homeless people. They know what they’re doing,” said the guard at the food-storage area.
Today, a limited menu of sandwiches, chips and some hot food will be doled out — so legitimate protesters will have a day to make arrangements for more upscale weekend meals.
Protesters got their first taste of the revolt within the revolt yesterday when the kitchen staff served only peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and chips after their staff meeting.
Organizers took other steps to police the squatters, who they said were lured in from other parks with the promise of free meals.
A team of 10 security volunteers moved in to the trouble-prone southwest section of Zuccotti Park in a show of force to confront them.
“We’re not going to let some members of this community destroy the whole movement,” a volunteer said.
Some arguments broke out as the security team searched tents — but no violence erupted.
Were tents searched without warrants? WHAT HAPPENED TO MY CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS!?!?
Oh, I so hope a majority of Americans are paying attention to what’s happening at the Ground Zero of Occupy movements at Occupy Wall Street. What a bunch of absolute flaming hypocrites these people are.
Meanwhile at Occupy Charlotte, “Occupiers” are pushing for the community to donate gloves, coats, and other winter items so they can prepare themselves and their tents for the long winter haul. I made sure to note once again last night on Twitter that it was absolutely shameless for these *voluntarily* “homeless” people who really aren’t “needy” to be pleading for the type of assistance that the truly homeless and poor desperately need in this city, especially at this time of year around the holidays. It’s almost like the Occupy movements (Charlotte is far from the only one doing this) are saying to the actual needy: Hey, we know you guys normally need food/water/clothing more than we do, but our “needs” are more important and immediate right now … because we’re doing this FOR YOU.
Despicable.

That’s the menu for valiant “fighters for the people?” These mooches eat better than I do! What’s next, tablecloths, candles, and wait staff? A booth where you can check your protest sign while you dine?
#OccupyFoodTV!
They started with the 1% rich greedy bankers, and the 99% of the “rest of us”. Now they want to subtract the “professional” homeless and the “career” criminals; what percentage of America do they claim to speak for now? When you think about it, no one could be more anti-capitalist than a professional homeless person, they should be the inspiration for OWS!
They’re all for spreading the wealth as long as it’s not their wealth getting spread.
So let me get this right. It is ok to starve, deprive the NEEDY while they eat tofu and lemon grilled chicken? And worse, they realize their “border” is invaded as long as they hand out benefits for being on “their” land?
I’d like to see someone go down with a camera and re-ask border questions now…
Great post..
Sooo, they are upset with freeloaders amongst their ranks? I pray they will eventually connect the dots between their experience and the feelings of everyday taxpayers toward entitlement fraud. But I fear the liberal blinders are permanently attached.
I wonder if the kitchen staff will stary demanding to paid…
Also, I’m kinda hoping that the Occupy Charlotte people try to say through winter so a few of them will get frost bit. I’m hoping that kind of bite on the ass might finally wise these people up and make them realize there is no 99%.
So maybe they should get together and draft some type of organizational document that ellicits certain protections for the members of the movement against their organizers. Something that would say, ensure that the protestors can air grievances about the leaders and protect their tents from searches without cause…
Time to up-twinkle an I.D. registration and requirement for all true occupiers.
Call it an ‘Eater I.D. Law’.
No I.D., no eat.
How many chickens were murdered to feed the ravenous occupiers?
Maybe they should ask for documentation of a permanent local address before feeding anyone.
Steve, I think you’re onto something there. I wonder if they’ll consider taking up arms to secure those rights?
I would like to know whose calling who a freeloader. I go back to the old axiom, it is easier to nail jello to the wall than to have a liberal elitist change their ideas. Seems like these junior elitists are just waiting for their orders now and will soon ascend to their rightful places. Sig Heil!! – Lorica
Steve, it would be interesting to find out how many of them would react in wonderment with this idea and respond “Wow, I wonder if there’s some sort of template we can work from to write something like that up?”
But they need someone to take care of them while they while they voluntarily live on the street! Where is your humanity?
Is this how America would look if these people got their way? Working people get out your checkbooks.
Naw, Sefton, these elitist crybabies are the creme de la creme of the intelligencia, and they don’t need no shtinkin’ template ’cause they be smart ’nuff ta run everybodies’ lives!
And, ahhhhh, those poor babies. There’s some mean people invading their rightful space they paid for with shouts and insults, and are even stealing their food! There oughtta be a law!
