Good luck liberals keeping all of this together, you all are going to need it.


Homeless Shelter Residents Booed, Told to 'Get a Job' at Queens Protest - Elmhurst - DNAinfo.com New York

The homeless shelter at the Pan Am Hotel came under fire Monday night when hundreds of residents rallied outside a meeting between shelter operators and the city, and residents inside blasted officials, even booing a woman who urged compassion for families using the services.

The meeting at the Elks Lodge on Queens Boulevard and Goldsmith Street was called by Community Board 4 after the former hotel, which up until weeks ago was advertised as a hostel, was quietly turned into a homeless shelter for families without notice to the community.

Outside the meeting, which was open only to those who had pre-registered, several hundred protesters chanted and held signs voicing opposition to the shelter — and exchanged words with more than 20 shelter residents who came to offer their side, with children yelling "shame on you," "get a job," and "pay your rent."

Pretty ugly NIMBY behavior.

What was your point? That people can be heartless and cruel?

Thanks... I guess.

NIMBY is happening in all the liberal cities all over the US.

"Oh the poor homeless." "Something needs to be done".

And then...."But we don't want them in our neighborhood".

Wait until they find out that several planeloads of illegal minors got flown to NYC

It is always interesting where they dump the homeless shelters.

I think that its pretty amazing that we can open our military bases to illegals and make sure they are cared for, but we can't do the same our own homeless.

NIMBY happens anywhere, it isn't something exclusive to liberals or conservativeconservatives.

Now they are arriving by the planeload? Where are these illegals coming from and where are they getting the money to get through customs?
