Occupy Cincinnati claims trouble with homeless
Hours before police arrested several of them, Occupy Cincinnati protesters said homeless people were taking over their space in Piatt Park.Some protesters said there have been some thefts and in some cases violence, and they're worried that their message will also be stolen.
"We're not just a homeless camp," said Michael Davis, one of the original Occupy Cincinnati protesters.
He said things are getting out of control. "The homeless have overran us," Davis said. "They're taking stuff that is donated to us. They've been caught trying to sell it a few blocks away. We're running out of supplies. We really need what the homeless are taking."
Davis said sometimes in their meetings, the occupiers are outnumbered by homeless people. He said some have contributed to and even joined the occupation, but others aren't so helpful.
