Well if this isn’t the height of irony – the Occupy Detroit gang has managed to worm their way into Detroit’s 85th “America’s Thanksgiving Parade.”
The ingrates have been camping out in downtown since mid-October. One of the malcontents actually admits to quitting her job to joint the protest (source: Examiner.com);

Coffee worked as a paralegal at a downtown law firm but quit her job to devote herself to activism. “I didn’t bring my computer, it’s hard to charge phones here,” Coffee added. “We’ve been offered a space indoors, something that is accessible to everybody, … not everyone wants to hang out in Grand Circus Park … we’re gonna move indoors and we’re gonna have more fun, and you can quote me on that!”

 
OK – I will. But I’ll also say OWS ia a bunch of lazy, entitled, irresponsible brats. And you can quote me on that.
 
Occupy Detroit is encamped at Grand Circus Park (isn’t that a deliciously appropriate name?), which just happens to be on the Thanksgiving parade route. Apparently, in return for vacating the park temporarily, the city is allowing them to walk their belligerent butts down the route ahead of the official parade. The irony is that they’re participating in a holiday that’s all about gratitude. This year’s theme is “So Much To Believe In.” The theme chosen by The Parade Company, expresses that there is so much to believe in for our great State of Michigan and Detroit!
But only things OWS believes in are handouts – and they’re thankful for exactly nothing.
 
The truth about the Occupy movement can be determined by measuring it against that old yardstick our parents used to employ: what if everyone jumped off the bridge? Let’s just imagine for a minute what would happen if the whole country – including all the cops, first responders, transportation and medical workers – suddenly decided to sit on their asses for two months and do nothing but whine and complain?!
Instead of costing the taxpayers untold millions in this aimless anarchy, OWS need join the rest of us and grow-up, get a life, and become productive members of society!
 
And be grateful for what they have.
