Alex Hundert Forsakes Homeless Occupiers!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5UUSwgHab_U?rel=0 Alex, despite his court order not to go to activist events, magically appeared at the eviction today. He’s been stalking me since October- first online, and now this is the third time he has appeared to interfere with me. I applaud his braveness for showing-up, but am seriously disappointed by his lack of will …
