A little bit of irony here.
Alabama officials were unable to open an emergency homeless shelter Monday because the auditorium was being used for a Sen. Bernie Sanders rally, forcing hundreds of homeless people to seek shelter from freezing temperatures elsewhere.
About 300 people sought shelter inside the Boutwell Auditorium in Birmingham last week, which served as an emergency warming station for three nights because of unusually cold weather. But the city was unable to open the auditorium Monday night when temperatures dropped to a years-low 20 degrees.
Sanders, a Democratic presidential candidate and self-described socialist, needed the auditorium to host a campaign rally. So the homeless had to seek shelter elsewhere in what felt like 15 degree weather.
“We’ve never had a night like this where it will be in the teens and we weren’t able to open,” Don Lupo, of the mayor’s office of citizen’s assistance, told an Alabama news outlet. Lupo later urged people angry and concerned about the shutdown to work together to come up with a better solution.
Feel the frostBern
Well ain’t that typical. This useless old fuck should fade away. My oldest son tells me the other day how many of his friends like Bernie. My sons 26. Do the math and these kids no nothing but Obamanomics. They’ve never had the opportunity to see what our economy is capable of when it’s rolling. Most college educated back living with their parents. That’s a problem.
He could have paid the homeless all a living wage to have them hand out pamphlets alerting the public about the dangers of climate while he used the auditorium.
Bernie is a straight up communist
A man of and for the people just like Killary is for women.
A pragmatic Stalin-like action sacrificing the indigent for the good of the Party.
..the law of unintended consequences…. a real ‘bitch’ for commie/socialist libs
“…but…but …. we meant well…… ”
irony & complete lack of responsibility is total lost on them, no matter what they do…. total putzes
Not like he has to worry about the homeless and dregs of society – they will vote for him anyway. I worry about him trying to make us all homeless. And jobless…
This was socialism in action. Do not listen to what Bernie (or Hillary) says as much as watch what he does.
The picture of the pissed homeless guy is great.
What? No hat tip? I’m crushed. (-:
Old Socialist Bernie was just giving them a huge handout of free cold air!
