I was being sarcastic.

I've had this happen before only it wasn't a man, it was a lamb. It followed [me] to school one day which was against the rule. It made the children laugh and play to see a lamb at school.

Well, actually, that is exactly what happened. My client believes he is a lamb. And, Mary, you and Jack and Jill and Ms. Muffit and the entire bunch of you will be called to speak on his behalf.

But Becky is demanding that our taxes pay for a campground for every vagrant that shows up here.

a campground for the local homeless would benifit everyone in this town. there are always going to be homless people, you sound like a biggoted jerk. the fact is most child molesters, murderers and rapists live indoors. there are plenty of drug addicts and alcoholics who live indoors. I SUGGEST WE GET RID OF ALL THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN HOUSES BECAUSE CHARLIE MANSON LIVED IN A HOUSE, AND SO DID JOHN WAYNE GAYCE, THE KILLER CLOWN!!!! LOCK UP ALL THE HOUSED PEOPLE!!!!! you paranoid twit.

Who's afraid of the big bad beer beggar, the big bad beer beggar?

i am amazed that in a town that waves rainbow flags all about celebrate diversity, that there is so much fear of people who are different than you are. diversity does not mean just homosexuality(which is a sin by the way), diversity means acceptance of different people. that homeless man didn't say anything to those children, never attacked those children, and probably never would have hurt those children. i understand he looks freaky, and even angry in the picture, well i think i would be angry too if i was locked up for simply walking down the street, just because someone was scared of me.

Obvious flame-baits are obvious.

Breaking news???? Why is this STILL labeled as Breaking News? Sheesh.
Guess I'm grumpy because I fell for it again the third time in a row and clicked on the article. When I saw "Breaking News", I thought perhaps they found the guy is the great grandson of John Wayne or maybe the third cousin to Bill Gates and wanted to let us know...:^@ ya know....'breaking news'. Hahahahaha. I think I have had enough coffee.

Have you ever had a personal interaction with this guy? I have. And he does not just look angry or freaky. He IS angry and freaky. He's had the police call on him before. This is not the first the police have become aware of him.
The guy is scary. If you've ever dealt with him before you would know that he is a time bomb waiting to go off.

Perhaps, before writing such a post, you may want to consider sentence structure as something worth looking at.

its ok Holly, he's wearing a mask...we wear them to keep the troll busters at bay...when that is not enough we resort to time bomb attitude. Every few months they burn one of us at the stake...

I agree it is Monday you would think that there have been other events occuring in and around Santa Cruz that are just as important. Or are we just trying to hate monger

This is still breaking news?

Ha Ha ... what do you expect Santa Cruz promotes and is proud of it's "homeless, transient, wierd, troll" lifestyle!

This guy was my neighbor up until about 1 month ago...he is a paranoid schizophrenic on disability, but we always knew him to be harmless. Although, I didn't know him personally. He's not really a transient, he had a 2 bedroom apartment all to himself that he paid for with disability. I believe he is just in-between housing right now. He used to come up to everyone and tell them about all about his conspiracy theories. One involved figuring out how to stop the bad vibes in the cosmos so that we could prevent people from dying. It could be that he was having an episode, I know that he was off his meds, but again, I don't actually know if he's harmless or not. I just thought I would give a little insight to the story, seeing as how I sorta knew him.

He looks like a UCSC grad!

Haha...ucsc grad....

Why is everyone debating this? Two children get followed to school by a guy....more than once. How could you blame them for calling the cops? It was absolutely the right thing to do. The people whose kids get attacked are the ones that teach them the world is puppy dogs and cotton candy.
