Great Optics! Let’s Skip The Details . . .
I guess it seemed like a good idea at the time:

. . .
[The father] even attended the Dec. 6 press conference at the house when the [homeless family was] introduced. He wanted to tell reporters his story.
“[OWS] told me not to talk to them [reporters] because they [OWS] had an offer for me,” he said.
At a second meeting after the press conference, however, organizers said they would not pay him for the house. At that point, he told them to leave.
Inside the house the walls are knocked down and all of his belongings, including a stove, refrigerator and bedroom furniture, have been moved to the basement.
“I’m pissed off,” he said.
“I’m trying to get my house back, and they’re trying to take it from me.”
