On the eve of Thanksgiving, Occupy  Denver demonstrators and members of the free kitchen, The Thunderdome,   gather outside the Denver Rescue Mission to feed the hungry and protest  against Denver Mayor Michael Hancock and Colorado Governor John  Hickenlooper who were briefly on site as symbolic hosts of a holiday  benefit to feed the homeless. <\/p>\n<p>The presence of Hancock and  Hickenlooper was regarded as a hypocritical photo opportunity as they  are responsible for shutting down The Thunderdome, which was feeding  Denver\u2019s homeless 24\/7 before being destroyed by the Denver and state  police. Police destroyed the kitchen on five separate occasions,  throwing away donated food and supplies. <\/p>\n<p>Their presence was also  seen as hypocritical by members of Occupy Denver, a segment of which is  homeless, because the group has been the target of police who  confiscate their food, tents, sleeping bags and other property and  forced them to sleep on the city\u2019s sidewalks, endangering them during  Denver\u2019s harsh weather. <\/p>\n<p>Hancock specifically was the target of  criticism for his recent support of a citywide proposal to enact a law  which would prohibit sleeping in public places. The law is aimed at  reducing the number of homeless people on the streets, particularly the  16th Street Mall in the core of Denver\u2019s downtown. <\/p>\n<p>Kudos to the Denver Rescue Mission and all those that serve Denver\u2019s homeless population.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"attribution\">(<span>Source:<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/<\/a>)<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>montesmith: Denver Colorado November 23, 2011.
