November 25, 2011: Occupy Indianapolis recruiting the homeless -- exactly what I predicted less than a month ago. This is not rocket science.
With the number of protesters dwindling and winter fast approaching, the organizers of the ‘Occupy’ movement in Indianapolis have turned to the homeless for help, recruiting them to help maintain the ‘Occupy’ presence in the city.President Obama considers himself linked with the "Occupy" groupees.

Link here. The rambling Occupy Boston encampment in downtown has forced the Rose F. Kennedy Greenway Conservancy to call off a food fest long planned for this weekend.Wait until they start talking about canceling the Boston Marathon for the same reason or the St Patrick's Day Parade; something tells me the marathon and the parade will win out.
Although my "second" or "third" home is Boston, I really don't have a dog in this fight, and don't really care.
But as soon as I saw the photo, I realized that it's only a matter of time before the homeless will find a new home and new supporters. I would assume that "walk-around money" will be given to some of the chronically-homeless-by-choice to replace the sons and daughters of the rich and famous who are now participating in an exercise dubbed Occupy Boston.
As long as city leaders say it's okay for folks to start living in makeshift homes downtown, the movement will expand. Before you know it, we might see man-camps in the Boston Common.
