Bethel Church and Redding Police Join Forces to Destroy Homeless Camps
Redding Olympic hopeful Ryan Hall's Bethel Church and Redding California Police join forces to destroy homeless camps, "cut high grass and low hanging branches" to drive them out of hiding.
Please listen to the Redding California police chief on KCNR Radio (starting about 1:10 minutes in)...about Bethel church, homeless encampments, and their civil and constitutional rights.
It is shocking.
Shocking for the fact that a huge Christian Church is joining forces to help destroy homeless camp areas that they find refuge in. Why are we seeing so many homeless in the downtown area? because this new police chief Robert Paoletti from Stockton has no compassion for the homeless and is forcing them out of their camps and into the streets, with many reports of their survival and personal possesions illegally thrown away.. If every city in California took his approach, where would the homeless go?
"Listen, my beloved brethren: Has God not chosen the poor of this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which He promised to those who love Him? But you have dishonored the poor man. Do not the rich oppress you and drag you into the courts? Do they not blaspheme that noble name by which you are called?"

Please Call Bethel Church and register your complaint today !! (530) 246-6000
UPDATE - 7/18/2012 - I just received a return call about my complaint from a representative of Bethel Church saying that to join forces with Redding police and destroy homeless camps, "cut high grass and low hanging branches" to drive them out of hiding is
"doing their civic duty".
What happened to their duty to Christ ?
UPDATE - 7/22/2012 - Church joins war against the poor
Redding Coalition for the Homeless
UPDATE : 7/26/2012 - Most folks come to Bethel Church and School of "Supernatural" Ministry from other Continents and Countries.
Do we really need foreigners coming into our country and community from New Zealand, Australia, Saudi Arabia, etc... driving out American homeless and destroying their camps and basic survival shelters in our town?
Especially when Veterans make up one in four homeless people in the United States !!
Shame on local media for not bringing this to light.
Shame on Bethel, for what they are doing is not only Un Christian, but Un American as well...

It's because of people's actions like this, that I held a open a homeless campground demonstration at Redding City Hall a year ago. Bethel AND Redding Police should be ashamed of themselves. One guy I know in Redding that's homeless today, 20 years ago was a Redding Multi-Millionaire; and now to be treated like this........... Excuse me as I have to leave; as my stomach just turned.
I'm glad I no longer live in Redding.

" For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.”
Families, Children, Veterans, everyone in this poor economy should have a safe place where they can go at night and sleep without fear and their civil and constitutional rights violated. That’s why we need "safe ground".
Redding California needs a safe “legalized” campground where homeless folks can have clean water, bathrooms, and trash services until Redding, Shasta County, and the State of California is willing and able to provide adequate shelters and affordable housing for the growing numbers of homeless folks free of homeless camping tickets,criminalization and evictions.
lol
I listened to that show as I always try to do Free Fire Radio
Mr. Bott is mostly spot on being impartial to his guests, they do well enough to damage themselves.
The Redding police Chief did say that by law they had to tag the encampment first, giving the campers several days notice before discarding the campers possessions.
And don't even get me started on "Bethel"
obvious CULT is obvious.
peace out

So if you and Bethel want to continue to call our new police chief a liar be my guest, its recorded for all the world to hear. And you nor the feather flying gold dusters dont impress me in the least by fattening up the poor and homeless here in Redding and Shasta County with your "best china" as you spiritually murder them by destroying any place they can find refuge in, and help the Redding Police Department criminalize homelessness. By the Way, does Bethel do that in Jesus Name ? Many people have requested Bethel to publicly refute their participation with Redding Police, to this day they still refuse...
BTW.... The former Police Chief told me that even if you are on property YOU OWN, if you camp outside 7 days or more, they can site you for illegal camping; and conficate your camping equipment. He told me this, when I told him that my grandkids were coming for two weeks; and that we were going to camp in our yard. The laws are getting too restrictive. I hope that God sends angels to camp with the homeless; as then when Jesus comes again, some police and Bethel people will have a lot of explaining to do. Don Kirk
