Vigilante groups invade Redding California homeless

"Guardian Standoff " - a News Cafe.com

Definition of vigilante:  "A member of a volunteer committee organized to suppress and punish crime summarily (as when the processes of law are viewed as inadequate); broadly : a self-appointed doer of justice."

Sad really as these groups and local media have been creating for years a dynamic that have folks hating the people who are being oppressed in our community and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.

Just who are the groups that have taken on the definition of vigilantism as a mission statement here in Redding? Has ex police chief Robert Paoletti opened the door for a multitude of violations of civil and constitutional rights of the most poor and vulnerable of our community ?

Redding Guardian Angles

If  the City of Redding, its police, and its chief cannot handle and lack the training to effectively and safely deal with those with mental issues and have subjected Redding to legal trouble as this  Sacramento Bee News article states: "Lawsuit: Redding police beat, suffocated mentally ill Chico man" what measures and background checks as well as training are given to these groups ?

Will untrained, unskilled members of the Redding Guardian Angels subject the city to liabilities of civil and constitutional right violation lawsuits in the future?

Take Back Redding / Shasta Support Services

Is it fair to have Shasta Support Services  go out into the deep brush of our community to do the local "point in time" census on local homeless and their locations only to turn them in to law enforcement at a later date ? The more homeless that are reported the more funds to combat homelessness are available...

Would a recall of 2 city council members by these groups really cost tax payers of the city of Redding 200, 000 dollars as reported in local media? Even though it is so close to the end of their terms ?

These groups I believe LOVE to hide behind good deeds such as "Invasive Species Eradication" of non native plant life to destroy known homeless camp locations or "Community Clean Up" days to also destroy known homeless camp locations and confiscate necessary living and life sustaining food and sleeping gear as well as the last of their worldly possessions.

The Redding Area Transient Patrol group or R.A.T. Patrol

From the local news article we have shocking  "Controversial Facebook page targets homeless" group that claims to shine light on the homeless situation in Redding. However, homeless advocates are concerned the group is promoting violence against the homeless. Posts on the group refer to "eradicating" the homeless population, using what advocates call "violent and inhumane" acts.

"Some members have suggested filling up squirt guns with urine and spraying them while they sleep, or putting bear traps in dumpsters," Lee said. "I haven't personally done that, but if people are doing that, good for them."

Redding California Police Chief Paoletti Verses Commands of Jesus Christ

Lester - 71 years old - Redding Homeless

One may find themselves asking as of late why is the love in our community growing so cold for the poor, the homeless, what Jesus calls"The Least of these My Brethern  ?

Surly no city official would very publicly say in one breath "Nobody tells me what to do" at his last quarterly town hall meeting and yet have the audacity to tell God in the next how His ministries and charities need to be ran and by what amount of love and compassion may be applied to His people?


One without a doubt would find themselves very directly opposing the desires and direction of that very same God.


Homeless people good, Transients bad Redding California Police Chief Robert Paoletti?

For we are directed  quite clearly by his son Jesus Christ that we are NOT to separate or differentiate  who is worthy of His Love   ...and who is not.

Who is good? ...  Who is bad...  Who is Wheat? And who is a Tare Redding Police Chief ?

Oh thanks due to in large part to police chief Robert Paoletti the talk in Redding California as of late has reached a fevered divisive pitch.. What is a homeless person ? What is a transient ? Is one worthy of love and another is not?

Should a policeman dictate to the Christian organizations that serve them who should stay, and who should be gathered up and removed?

Now homeless Lester who's pictures you see  is a perfect example of what is called hospital patient dumping.

Will Lester possibly see any justice from the Redding Police Department and chief Paoletti and his seat on  Prime Healthcare's Hospital Board ?

Not Likely...

Who is Wheat ... And who is a Tare?

Shasta County Mental Health Center Director Dean Germano recently was quoted in the news as saying chief Paoletti's recent town hall comments on the local homeless population were "Bizarre", and his perceived by many as a negative comment about the Shasta County Hope Van for poor and homeless left many in the community shocked and dismayed.

A wonderful compassionate resource retired Redding Police Chief Peter Hansen helped develop in the City

No one really can imagine a government official directly opposing the commands of Jesus Christ and of all things expecting HIS Christian Charities to do the same ?

One again cannot imagine this same Redding Police chief AGAIN directly opposing the desires and commands of Jesus Christ wanting the Good News Rescue Mission to stop serving three free meals a day ?

Sometimes we love people nobody else will in hopes that they survive just another day... And that God will provide a Healing Miracle.

Who is good? ...  Who is bad...  Who is Wheat? And who is a Tare Redding Police Chief ?
