Gaaah. Protesters...

I think if they took that over the city could do something about that. The bike co-op seems to be private property. Besides, we all know that real hippies don't actually co-mingle with homeless people, they just look like them.

While I haven't seen them (I don't have a reason to go downtown much- if you don't know me, I'm not much of a "townie" )

There are reportedly protesters at Acacia park downtown COS... the police were considering kicking them out for "illegal camping" but have since decided they're not harming anyone, and will let them be. http://www.gazette.com/articles/poli...s-springs.html

I'm not sure how I feel about that... I may have an opinion if I went there more often, and was accosted by them in some way. At least I know where I could go with my "I am the 53%" sign if I was so inclined to not have a life.

We drove by them last night at around 0400 and it was pretty sad. A handful of disorganized and freezing people standing in a parking lot. I honestly wouldn't have been able to tell most of them from homeless people, and I'm not joking.

As it gets colder they'll be vacating the tent cities in droves. Only the ones with no where else to go (the truly homeless) will still be there. I think as long as they don't cause any problem the police will be instructed to leave them alone.

Honestly, if the "real" protesters just swapped out for the homeless guys, I'd be happy. It'd keep them out of my area and the city guys would have them in one small place. I work for the campus and once it gets cold we start having a lot of them doing...unexpected...security work for us by finding every broken door lock and every unsecured nook on campus.

Those idiots in the live leak vid are pretending to cry.

Ft. Collins is becoming another Boulder. I grew up here and it is changing. Every place you look are cars from Illinois and Massachusetts with "Coexist" and "Obama 2008".
Damn!

best thing to do is honk while next to them, then flip them off.

If enough people are mean to them maybe they will leave.
