Would you want a sex offender in or around your home? Around your children? I think not. And if you do, you have major problems! Its too bad he ran into hard times, but the saying the past comes back to bite you is really true!

I agree Meggo. I am from a very rural area way up north and have only lived in GR for about 8 yrs now so I remember when I was new to "bums" approaching me for money or food when we left downtown bars.
I dont like it and I dont know who does. Of course its too bad, but its not a problem that I can fix!
The only bum or "bum looking" person I will talk to is the guy who always yells "EAT 'EM UP TIGERS EAT 'EM UP!!!!"

Why would they want anything to do with down and out folks who will strain the budget?(They have politicians to get elected!)
I know someone with a doghouse that is a lot nicer and more expensive than the homes of most people!
I hope Obama taxes the Heck out of them!!!
Instead of bitching about OTHER PEOPLE, what was stopping you and the first poster from taking people like this into YOUR homes.

Apparently both of you were too busy being angry at rich people to devote time and money to the poor and hurting. So dont run around tossing stones when your glass house provided shelter to no one but yourself.

The nerve of little snobs like you to hope that Obama taxes others because you are jealous of their lives, as if you are some stellar example of compassion!

It makes no sense why a homeless person would be in Michigan during the winter. There are many warmer places to lay your bod.

Hey looser! Yes you... The shelters, and the state are the ones that killed this man. The evil "rich" didnt make it so he couldn't get a room for the night.

If either of you gave that much of a darn, you could have taken him into your home so he didnt freeze to death. But Noooooooooooo it's the rich people's fault.

I dont care what he does. He has no business trying to point the finger at people in the suburbs, of which HE HAS NO CLUE of the time, material and or money they give to help the less fortunate, and accuse those people of being some sort of evil monsters because the organizations that exist to prevent this from happening FAILED to do so. And then to hope that Obama taxes them for having a comfortable life.

He, and similar snobs like him, can go shove it.

Successful people are the ones that keep the money flowing to these shelters. Too bad the shelters, and the state, are too stupid to do their jobs effectively. This man paid the price.

"second-degree criminal sexual conduct" is a big leap from taking a leak in public. I actualy knew this man. He was always nice when I'd see him but I wouldn't trust him near my grandkids. It is a shame that he had no place to turn.
