The crisis has been provoked and intensified by City Manager Bernal's Sweeps, the overboard powers granted him by Myers' City Council, the lack of any walk-in shelter, and the police destruction of homeless gear in violation of the Boise v.

In the name of public health... the measures were presented as without alternative and divergent expert opinions were ignored or defamed....

Trump's strategy of tension "No one will be safe in Biden's America!" This was Donald Trump's message. The theme, for three days: Danger.

Another Toxic S.C. City Council Meeting Today I wrote a letter to Justin Cummings last week about the upcoming "public" City Council meeting.
