Attack on Homeless man in Fresno makes National News


http://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2009/02/12/18569804.php
( you can see the new mayor of Fresno.. she is just an extension of the Good Ol' boys in Fresno)


Mike has been courageously reporting on the attacks of the Homeless for over 6 years.
this is a link to stories that have been posted before:

http://www.fresnoalliance.com/home/homelessness.htm

Read about Pam Kincaid.. I carried a poster with her name in St. Paul, MN as we where surrounded and some arrested by cops in riot gear.

One story after another and no one has investigated the (at the time) Mayor Alan Autry's office, Chief Dyer, or Sheriff. There have been lawsuits, but still the Homeless are attacked.

And the activists in Fresno have been trying to fight what has and is still being done to the Homeless. Unlike the L.A. and Bay Area they don't have as many finacial and other resources.
Failure has been the apathy from those in the Bay Area and L.A.... as long as you don't have to deal with it who cares?
In St. Paul, several years a go I went up to speak to Tom Hayden, to ask for his help in Fresno. (Like I do to many people, especially big name people) and he told me to my face when I gave him one of Mike's Community Alliance articles on the attacks of the Homeless..
Hayden said "I can't waste my time with them " (central valley). I then said: How can you say that ?, we need your help, they need your help.. they (the activists) are fighting to stop the attacks but need help from other areas" You are preaching to the choir in San Francisco, why don't you come to where the real battles are. " You are just going to leave them hanging?"
he was walking away and then said: "give it up, they are a waste of time, look what happened to Chavez".

*** So if you want to help... Call CA Attorney General and demand he send a team to investigate the Fresno P.D. and while he is at it.. release the previous AG's report of the spying of Peace Fresno.

Attorney General Gerry Brown.

1. the New Mayor of Fresno will sweep this under the rug
She said that there is an independent Investigation.. what a joke.

In one month this will be forgotten and the homeless in Fresno will be terrorized again.

Hey,, that just made me think. Shouldn't the cops and city of Fresno be charged with Terroristic acts.

*** Yeah,, when you call Gerry Brown, tell him that maybe the FBI should be called in because of there are people in Governemnt doing Terroristic Acts against the Homeless Citizens.

2. So I'm assuming that since you are obsessed with
writing about Fresno's homeless that your town has an absolutely pristine record in this department, no? Oh wait. No profile so no city listed. Quelle surprise.

Oh, and there's plenty of outrage around here and the activists ARE ALREADY GEARING UP. 'Course, your diatribe against the area never includes that, does it?

Signed,
One of the "okies" from Fresno.
