HOMELESS PEOPLE PROTEST KATRINA VICTIMS

By Michelle Malkin  •  September 16, 2005 08:28 AM

Hurricane Katrina victims are being welcomed into homes across the country. Now, homeless people in Washington, D.C., are hopping mad:

Advocates say the homeless have noticed — and many resent — the difference in perception and treatment. “Local homeless people are saying, ‘Nobody cares about us — we were here all the time,’ ” said Imagene Stewart, who has 17 homeless families from the area at her House of Imagene in Northwest Washington. “For Katrina people, they find money. We’ve been out here begging for years….”

Several homeless people have put their concerns on public display, in a small encampment on a corner of 15th Street NW near McPherson Square. Propped up against a grocery cart filled with clothing is a big sign that says, “Mayor Williams, Help Our Homeless First!!!”

I know it sounds like an Onion satire, but it’s in today’s Washington Post.
