Homeless man in Fresno, CA makes news on CNN

[annm4peace]

story made front page on CNN..CNN carried the KMPH story. I didn’t see KMPH (local fresno channel) mention the plight and abuse of the homeless in Fresno , but I about died when I saw this man's picture on the main page of CNN. Maybe next time they will report the news of how horrible the homeless are being treated in Fresno. I hope the Sheriff and Cal-Trans don't start pouring poison down these gofer holes.

It is good that "alternative News" is getting picked up by "mainstream".. someday they will give the real story.

Homeless people design some creative living spaces in Fresno, only to have them bulldozed by the city. The city would prefer the homeless to live in dog houses (er. . . I mean tool sheds) in a concentration camp
About a week ago the Fresno Police Department found Bruce Tracy’s home, which is on public land (Caltrans) about a mile north of Roeding Park. Tracy said the police came in with guns drawn, searched the place, and forced him out in his underwear. He was forced to stand outside in his boxer shorts for 2 ½ hours while the police interrogated him. "They came back a couple of days ago and said I had to leave. They said they were going to bulldoze the place," Tracy said..
