I work in a field of employment that brings me into contact with the public....both straight citizens and criminals.
Last night I had a man come up to me at our annual parade.
He identified himself as a former board member of the Union Gospel Mission which is a Christian based outreach/feeding program for homeless drug addicts and street drunks.
They help street people and prison inmates who are returning to society.
He railed against the current political.climate and the policies espoused by the Democrat socialists and told me how when the mayor rolled by in the parade that he yelled at her to hire more cops and stop allowing all the criminals, drug addicts, and insane people to rule downtown.
Now, if the current political.class has lost the support of Union Gospel Mission folks, this next election could be very interesting....but I don’t believe there are enough true choices to be made between insane leftism and rational policy types.
May take 2 or 3 election cycles to effect some change.
Few decades ago I worked at 1st and Denny. Transients from the mission just down a bit were commonplace and harmless.
Torchlight Parade?
