Occupy Boston Participants Reach Out To Homeless

www.bostonherald.com:

Revolution-minded members of Occupy Boston will take to the streets again today, this time to drop excess food and clothing at a homeless shelter.

Just one week ago, the sprawling, leaderless group took over a slice of the Rose Kennedy Greenway.

Now, between an increase in campers, and the sheer volume of donated goods, space is tight.

Occupy Boston had expanded to another section of the Greenway. There are rumors that the police are going to remove people.

The downtown protest group Occupy Boston threw its proverbial doors open yesterday, and played host to supporters of accused terrorist Terak Mehanna, who are looking to raise awareness of the Sudbury man’s upcoming trial.
The Tarek Mehanna Support Committee came to Occupy Boston’s ever-evolving tent city on the Rose Kennedy Greenway to say Mehanna, a Muslim American pharmacist, is a victim of anti-Muslim sentiment.
The U.S. government says Mehanna, 28, provided “material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization,” and acted as a “media wing” for al-Qaeda.

As counterpoint to the Tea Party who bartered and insulted a homeless man that needed medical treatment if you all recall.

Bravo. Show which side is the good side.

YES! The man had Parkinson's and the TPers were so nasty to him. To witness such a travesty is an embarrassment to the country.

I'm proud of my liberal Bostonians!

We are the 99%!!! Excellent Boston! I helped the Occupy Houston protesters yesterday and today. Press on and come out in force for "Occupy" groups around the country. The central theme is ending the occupation of our government by banks and big corporations. The govt bailed out banks/corporations and sold out the American people. Down with govt for, by and of the wealthy conglomerates.

These people understand what Jesus was truly about. Not the Prosperity Church givers. They only think of making money money money for their rich churches and forget the truth Jesus way of helping the poor, homeless. Jesus would never question the sincerity of the poor unlike you hear from the republican party mocking these people.

Love you all, my old home town. Difference between Tpartiers and this group, the business of joining together and helping the homeless. Saw none of that with those others.
