Catholic Church Evicts Homeless

56. No, it's not cheap.

And, if approached, I would make a donation to be used for paint. I would also volunteer to contact paint suppliers for donations, and would succeed. You see, I have spent many, many hours working for free in homeless shelters, and have painted them and done repairs, as well, since I have skills in those areas. It's a very serious problem. Real homeless shelters do a great service, and there aren't enough of them. This was never going to be a homeless shelter, though. That wasn't the real plan here.

The plan was to occupy until evicted. Between those two events, the plan was to trash the place as a statement. That plan was carried out. I think it was a poor plan. You might think differently. But what was carried out was the plan. They knew for an absolute certainty that they'd be evicted, so that was as much of a plan as they could carry out. Now, any use that might have been made of that place will be delayed until the damage has been repaired.

How useful is that? How does that help anyone at all?

OWS has some very good points to make. They did not make any of them with this action.
