Occupy Honolulu, Thomas Square, 2012a location chosen perhaps for its proximity to Honolulu Police Headquarters in an effort to create test cases and affect the legality of policies designed to pressure the homeless to accept shelter. As one set of tents was tagged under Honolulus 24 hour warning system, they were removed and replaced with a different set of tentsones with yellow, green, red, blue or grey trim--so city workers could not seize them--leaving Occupy with lots of matching tents in storage somewhere.

When I lived in Hawaii, I was shocked by the number of 'homeless' people there. Most are drug addicts, mentally ill or alcoholics hanging in the parks near Waikiki. However, there is a large number of 'homeless' who choose to live in tents and make-shift shelters along the beaches. Some work full time. They pay no rent. Others get government assistance and live a pretty decent life style, at taxpayer expense.

That’s one I’d join, depending on how close it is to the beach. Sure beats Fargo, especially in winter.

I have a question. Just what makes these idiots think it is going to be any here in Honolulu?

I can see pressuring the tourist industry, but Chinatown sounds a bit risky, and I can’t see a happy ending for folks trying to squeeze the Koreans.

Those are cities? Looks more like small encampments in different places in the city.

Think of them as micro-Detroits.

The ‘homeless industry’ is one of the more interesting liberal scams...

If the homeless go on strike,how will anyone know?
To: Islander7
A few years ago there were a bunch living in a park near the Waikiki Hilton, you could see the campfires at night and of course we were told to not go there at night (duh).
There’s some sort of special Pacific Islander visa that allows certain people entry with no apparent requirement for support etc. Many of these vagrants are not Hawaiians.

Communists and the freaks who pimp for them are some of the sickest vermin to ever crawl across the face of the Earth.
