Anyone willing can see the tragedy of the homeless, however killing the messenger does not solve anything. The city council/police work under the mandate of the people, and trying to shove a minority opinion down the throats of the authority/citizens of Santa Cruz will never work, no matter what your rationale is. All the self-righteous "words of Jesus", "MEANEST CITY", "how dare the city council members" crap only scapegoats the complex problem at hand. I guess it makes some weak people feel suddenly strong to bully those who aren't any more responsible for this problem, than themselves. Unless you are personally taking homeless in, or raising funds to find shelter/help them, then what the fuck are you doing except mouthing-off, or whining, to find resolve?!
