while the outrage over the dogs death seems universal, the fate of the innocent homeless man appears less noteworthy.
I suppose I wasnt completely surprised to see yet another profile of local pet care providers who come to the hub of homelessness
regularly, following this story.
What I havent seen is the connection being made between city policies and practice, and the inevitable private abuses and assaults
that those official actions encourage. Neither was the point ever made that by dispersing the homeless population into the nooks and crannies of the city, those services and assistance offered to pet owners are MUCH harder to make available.
so much empty headed advertising space being sold over these tragedies, and not one bit of understanding, justice or progress being sought.
despicable.

How is that any of these parasites can go anywhere in public without a crowd of protesters?

(6,896 posts)what with Feinstein and Pelosi running the show from up there, its hard to believe all of the things that
they allow to happen, let alone force into play.
One of the last times I was up there in the city by the bay, was for a very special event honoring a favorite comic
artist, now deceased, at the Comic Art Museum. It was a tremendous, great time. Coincidentally, across the street a
large crowd of protestors was assembled around a building hosting a fundraising event for Nancy Pelosi.
Signs and shouts about the war criminal within really had me conflicted. I ran across the street more than once for a moment
or two to be a part of the excitement and the opposition to GWB's good friend's support for the criminal actions in Iraq.
If only I could have been in two places at once.
Some of these parasites really cant go anywhere in public without a crowd of protestors, and I was very proud of that crowd.
