I've refrained from using the Hippies label up to this point but . . . . . it is what it is.

This is when I really start getting really angry at this whole movement, when they start asking for hand outs & making themselves a charity case.

Yes, you have every right in the world to assemble and protest and speak your mind. But when you start playing the victim because of your decision to do so you've cross the line between exercising your own freedoms and infringing on others.

Need toilet paper? GO BUY SOME.

You have CHOSEN to camp out on the street instead of going to work that day, fine, but don't think you can take food/support out of the hands of the truly needy so you can take a vacation from your day to day life.

What's next? Are they going to be calling up the mustard seed and say "hey we could really use some food down here, yeah we know you've got 100+ homeless to feed today as well, but we're protesters man, you should support our cause"

tl;dr: hippies man, get a job, get off my lawn, etc.
