Homeless People are People too

Does the rise of murders of homeless people by adolescent youth and others sadden us? The last assumed murder is Tasha aka Little Bit in Nashville Tennessee which the city just had a Virgil for her http://thehomelessguy.blogspot.com/2006/08/tonight-vigil-for-murdered-homeless.html

Look at the nation papers and see that homeless person being harassed by police, government officials and murdered by others. This is not an act of random violence but rather a planned execution to hurt a part of our society that cannot defend themselves.

These words are not just rumblings of an old man but rather through 34 years of research and life, I have concluded that people have a false idea of whom a homeless person is and through ignorance, hate and fear will falsely assume the reasons for them being homeless.

When ignorance , hate and fear festers people will react with spit, or “hey buddy get a job” or even attacking then to the point of murder as we have seen recently in Nashville and all across the nation.

Nashville is not far from the Capital City, hate, and violence may even be in our own house.

Thanksgiving and Christmas are almost upon us and is the season of helping others but let us remember to take care of each other now rich or poor and not wait for Thanksgiving or Christmas.

Let us remember the homeless and poor, by reaching out in person, and not hide behind a charitable organization to help.

If we are to make Columbia a great capital city and South Carolina a great state, we cannot forget our poorest citizens. Let us not allow the government to round them up like cattle but rather let us work with them one on one to enable them a hand-up with love rather than a hand out.
