Not sure how I feel about this, particularly since I don’t know what kind of ‘offense’ the guy perpetrated. I hate that he froze to death, but I know the laws were put into place to try to protect kids.
And, turning the situation around, lets just say that a shelter let him in and he molested a kid. The same busybodies who had plenty of time to mourn this POS would be calling for the shelter director’s head, I’m sure.
I am just sick and tired of these “vigils” — grotesque public displays of misplaced sympathy designed to make the vigil attendee feel morally superior.
As others have already pointed out, if only one of the vigil attendees had been so concerned about Pauli’s plight yesterday, there’d be no need for a vigil.
S’Okay. He’s plenty warm now.
“...Just a quiet, respectful way of remembering his life and having the spotlight on a situation a lot of people tend to forget about”....
I bet his victim won’t ever forget about him....
With an outcome like this -not to mention the whole “shrinkage” problem-it might not be a good idea for folks like this guy to act out on their impulses up there, eh?
People who protest this are full of crap until they make room in their homes for sex offenders just like Pauli.
The nearest school is Catholic Central, which is probably well within 1000 feet of Mel Trotter Mission, and is practically across the street from Guiding Light Mission. DeGage’s is a women’s shelter, but a lot of folks go there to eat for nothing, or next to nothing. Folks can earn a meal voucher by volunteering there. DeGage’s is in the old Moose lodge building, cool lookin’ moose heads sticking out from near the roof. Mel Trotter is a big operation, the building covers a block downtown, and gets lots of food donations.
I’m not sure whether I knew the guy slightly , but I’ve known a number of other homeless folks around here who have died — and nearly all of them were not deaths by natural causes, but death by thugs, and/or alcohol-related death (including passing out drunk and dying of exposure, ‘cause that ain’t natural causes, folks) similar misadventures.
there is another class of law breakers which they all do welcome - I betcha!

Liberals: the sort of people who hold candlelight vigils for perverts yet spit in the faces of our returning soldiers.
They are the death of us.
I wonder how many of those involved in the vigil are also abortion supporters.

A candlelight torchlight vigil was held Saturday night to mourn celebrate the death of Thomas Pauli.
When will urine-alists learn to write?
