Homeless Lose Shelter to Feel the Bern

[The Great Goose]

People died.

I wonder what cruel hearted social workers were behind it?

Did someone once tell you your lies were funny?

Well someone offered the auditorium to the rally people.

You doubt people died from that?

Prove it.

I dont work In the coroners office in that area.

How do you survive such cold? Some homeless would have died that night, who otherwise wouldn't.

And you think his people weren't aware of it? What a lousy excuse.

On bitterly cold night, Birmingham's homeless warming station used for Sanders rally

Lupo later that night posted on Facebook that people should not blame Sanders or the SCLC, which had an event there earlier in the day, for the warming station not being open on "on the coldest night we've had in a few years."

Instead, Lupo urged people to use the experience as a reason to start a discussion of ways to find emergency shelters in Birmingham.

"Maybe tomorrow we'll wake up with a fresh idea of what to do -- maybe tomorrow someone or some group will call and offer space when the space at Boutwell can't be used," Lupo wrote.

But, hey, clearly the guy who runs the temporary shelter knows less about it than some Keyboard Kommando.

Here are some facts. Be careful to read them slowly; wouldn't want you to hurt yourself:

(A) The temporary shelter is actually an auditorium. Apparently there are no actual homeless shelters in the city. Not that you'd care, but unless you can prove otherwise, that's the situation

(B) The individual in charge of the temporary shelter made the decision to close it for one night in order to bring the attention of local politicians to the fact that the city needs permanent shelters

(C) Do you know what happened to the 300 people who'd been using the auditorium as a temporary shelter for the previous three weeks? Do you care?

Uh huh. And the folks that booked the auditorium for the candidate just didn't know or just didn't tell Sanders that there would be a bunch of homeless people getting frostbite that night. Yeah. And NOBODY mentioned when Sanders arrived for the gig that on the coldest night of the year that homeless people looking for shelter would have to use dumpsters or maybe die because Sanders had the place booked. Sure. Fine. Bernie's hands are clean. But hey! maybe the homeless people's children will enjoy a permanent shelter some day because like, awareness was raised or something.

You don't know me, Eaglewings. I'm embarrassed for you.

In the case of the real people involved in this incident, they were rehoused in other, permanent shelters for the night.

The arena where they had been sheltered was a - let me repeat it again to see if it gets through - temporary - shelter to handle the overspill.

Think you've got it now, or do you need smaller words?

 

[Arianrhod]

And here's what actually happened:

Bernie Sanders campaign: 'We didn't close Birmingham's homeless warming station'

Kelvin Datcher, state director for the Sanders campaign, said Tuesday morning that the city of Birmingham never informed the campaign their Monday rally – which was planned in less than a week – would close the warming station.

"We had no clue. I don't think anybody can say the Sanders campaign impacted the warming station," Datcher said. "We had no contact with the city at all about the warming station beforehand. Not only did (Sanders) not know, I didn't even know."

There is a backup plan in place for the city's homeless when Boutwell is rented, Birmingham city spokeswoman April Odom said Tuesday morning – to open the city's existing, permanent shelters to more people. Firehouse Shelter, First Light and the Birmingham Salvation Army were used as emergency shelters Monday night.

"That is what we did," Odom said in an email. "We do not have access to any other facility downtown."

That is new information. I am glad to hear it. I hope this is what actually happened.

It's always best to try to find the original story rather than something that's been repeated and, very often, truncated to fulfill a certain agenda, whether it's left or right.

If they were overspill then how did they put them in regular shelters!

Something's fishy here.

The Bern's natural constituents are the homeless...He is, after all, a dumbass-socialist.

Obviously they would have been allowed into The Bern's Rally.

I think the Homeless are complaining about ALL the other ******* Socialists who showed up and intruded into their home for the evening...to listen to some old fool rant.

Most of your ilk do just that. At least you're honest enough to admit it. So now you can go post in another thread, having learned nothing.

Here's another one who can't read.

 

[depotoo]

To bring light to the city and leave them to freeze to death on the coldest night? Seriously? And you don't think his people had any idea at all? You are purposefully blind, then.

And you think his people weren't aware of it? What a lousy excuse.

READ. THE. WHOLE. THREAD.

The Gatewaypundit didn't do their homework.

I guess they are having trouble finding something on Bernie.

From Arianrhod's link


"The warming center is not a shelter, it's a stop-gap measure," Lupo said.

Lupo said that to his knowledge, no homeless person in the city was injured or killed Monday night or Tuesday morning because of cold weather exposure.

Firehouse Shelter Executive Director Anne Wright said Tuesday morning that volunteers from multiple shelters drove around the city Monday afternoon and evening, passing out jackets and blankets for those who needed them. Volunteers did not see any homeless in any city parks or on the streets Monday night, Wright said.

Firehouse Shelter, which regularly sleeps 50 homeless people, slept 83 people Monday night to compensate for the Boutwell warming station's closure.

Bernie Sanders campaign: 'We didn't close Birmingham's homeless warming station'


Nothing to see here folks.

But, I did learn something. I earned about some more dumb-ass socialists on this Political Discussion Board. You mis-guided folks are of course welcome as fellow human beings...and entirely free to express your opinions...but if you haven't learned from history's bitter experience what Socialism does to a people ...you are at risk of embarrassing yourselves.

So like a moth to the flame, every time you see the word "socialism" you're compelled to post, even though your posts make it clear you don't understand what the word means, and you're not at all interested in the topic under discussion.

You're a credit to your side.
