"A rain-soaked day did what the city couldn't: clean out Zuccotti Park,"
the New York Post reports. But "the sprint for safety for the protesters
was made easier with the 4,000 free pairs of shoes donated by a
sympathetic Long Island retailer":
Robert Yeganeh, owner of LoveMyShoes, sent truckloads of
footwear over the past three weeks to give comfort to the
huddled masses in the lower Manhattan park--but the donations
backfired when his customer base lashed out. . . .
The delivery can't come quick enough for Luis Daniel, 31,
a protester who was limping around barefoot in the rain.
"I was asleep and my shoes were stolen. I need a pair, but
the comfort station doesn't have any," said Daniel, who has
been jobless since he was fired from Dunkin' Donuts in 2007.
Meanwhile, MRCTV.com has video from Occupy Toronto, where a guy
complains: "This man was in my tent sniffing my girlfriend's feet." The
alleged hoof-huffer, who was also reportedly "trying to get other
protesters to drink urine," was arrested by Toronto's finest.
How does that old adage go? I cried because I had no shoes, until I met a
man who had no girlfriend.
