#1 Why not just give them tickets to the Rockies game that weekend; and when the game is up a free weekend getaway at scenic Camp Amache.

Actually, come to think of it, that would probably be more humane than being sent to the zoo and forced to spend the weekend with the animals, forced to watch 'Swing Vote' with kostner, or forced to sit in a shelter and watch the dnc on multiple big screen TV's.

#2 Booze & Cigarettes to vote for them.

'Bribes' to keep them away.

#3 Oh, boy. Can't wait to go to the movies, the zoo, or the Museum of Nature and Science that week. If they want to get rid of them, they should give them 100 gift certificates to an out of town liquor store.
Democrats love the "homeless". As long as they don't have to see, smell, touch or hear them. Except at Thanksgiving and Christmas for as long as it takes to get a photo op.

#4 This really stinks to me. Little story - I was in Houston for a conference downtown. All by myself, I didn't know the layout at all. On my walk to the conference building I was approached by a local what some would call a vagrant. He asked for a handout and I said, "Nope I don't hand out money....but if you show me around I'll pay you for the tour: show me where to buy food, what to see, etc. He gave me a great tour, gave me a ghetto pass by introducing me to the local big wigs and always waved and asked me how everything was going whenever we crossed paths that weekend. I bought him a couple of lunches and paid him some cash for his services. Would it not make sense to do something similar with these homeless folks, give them a job for the weekend? You know, clean and feed, give them a uniform, and upon completion earn a wage or donation to a shelter of their choice?

Instead they get this jackassery, "We don't want people to see you, but look at how much we respect you. Here, register to vote and think kindly of the democrats when you do." BTW, I am not familiar with Colorado law but don't you have to have a permament physical address in order to register (or can they claim a shelter as such?)?

So did the Colorado Coalition for the ~~Juden~~ Homeless think about asking the zookeepers/movie ushers/currators/bus drivers about their bribe and hide idea? Ronnie Wand seems to have a good idea what will happen which the cost of course is passed onto the tax payers. Then what do the police do when the holding tanks are filled and the protesters get naughty what will they then do?

I guess I do understand why they would not want the mentally unstable homeless looking like the sane ones when side-to-side with the Boulder activists. /snark

#5 "A person who typically sits under a tree in a park that is now occupied by 1,000 protesters won't have the peace and quiet they're desiring," Parvensky said. "Particularly those with mental illness can't cope with crowds."

He was there FIRST! He deserves to be ARMED!

#6 Just give them a one-way bus ticket to San Francisco, $50 and 3 bottles of cheap scotch each.

Non stop. Burn the bus when it gets there.

#10 Homeless fight over territory to beg at street corners. Several strategic spots here in Denver near Pepsi center and the theater district are good spots.
I've heard that many use liquor stores for addresses and have their checks mailed there and use them as a debit card instead of having to carry money on them taking the chance getting mugged themselves.
Denver with the looper and ritter plan on giving these homeless folks free housing without any rehab or preconditions. Makes me ill.
