And the comments have been coming in fast and furious — mostly furious — since we reported this yesterday. Says John:
Thank you for putting out this article. This is a very important conversation to have in our society today. The criminalization of homelessness is cruel, unconstitutional, and systemically driven. Busting the misconceptions of homelessness by relaying the truth in a way that overpowers the well-circulated stereotypes is especially important in our efforts to secure the human rights of houseless individuals, families, and couples.Adds Nicole:
"I am so tired of hearing and bearing witness to the 5-0 messing with the homeless in Denver. They have nowhere to go, they have almost no possessions and here we are throwing away their things and pushing them around. I truly believe they deserve respect and some room just to exist, period."
