Jim, This was an extremely poor post on your behalf. You could have simply posted the video without taking a stab a SUFA. I don't recall anyone making the general claim that homeless equals "ex-cons, pedophiles, rapists, murderers, and people with a history of violence who are unwanted individuals." Rather than twisting the words or having some built-up anger because you were not able leave a legacy by getting this facility in Asbury, look at the facts. Many in Asbury support the facilities we already have in place. The concern was with the operators of this particular facility not the homeless.

He is doing amazing work with/for the homeless in New York City. He shared a news story with me that was done on his organization and their clients. You can view the story here: http://www.youtube. com/watch? v=p2sacaf_hPc I think that people in the gay community in Asbury Park will find this story particularly interesting- note the stat on the percentage of homeless teens that are gay. The one young man who is featured in the video seems a far cry from how some in Asbury Park have characterized the homeless in the past (ex-cons, pedophiles, rapists, murderers, and people with a history of violence who are unwanted individuals) . I hope this finds you well. Peace, Jim Keady, Director Educating for Justice [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
