Can someone explain to me what this thread has to do with religion? I see all these religious references but nothing in any of the stories about any religious organizations.
What I do see is at best a choice of questionable police tactics and at worst a misappropration of authority. I have to wonder, however, about the location where these tickets are being written and if anyone is indeed impeeding the flow of traffic.
I'm really not sure at all what to make of the last story. It's pretty self-evident here that a lot of homeless are veterans. Not all of them saw action, but a lot did. I think that the stereotypical homeless person in most Americans' eyes is a Vietnam veteran who couldn't deal with the world outside of combat and is an addictive mess. I'm not saying that's right, just my opinion on exactly what the stereotype is. I guess that means that my son's stereotype will be an Iraq veteran instead. Sad but a part of human nature I think.
