I have never seen in 20 years of being a homeless advocate a blind homeless person before,
walking alone with the severely mentally ill, pervert and rapist filled streets of Redding California.
Alone...
This poor gal is walking with a red and white cane legally blind; I saw her walk into the wall of Tortilla Flats etc....
Later I saw her almost break her ankle trying to step off the curb.
She does manage to make it to the mission sometimes for food, but apparently lives outside.
Her name is Angel
Good News Rescue Mission paid staff member said they kicked her out of mission and lots of other homeless people and he can't figure out why, only allowing her to go there to eat
When called a staff member at Mission they said “We have to draw the line somewhere”
Apparently, that line includes blind homeless girls
Thats right Shasta County Supervisors Jones, Crye, and Kelstrom...
We are #ShastaPillowFight ready for MyPillow Mike Lindell, Shasta County Supervisors who quite frankly and amazingly quickly have become a pain in the ass to the citizens of Redding, and Shasta County California.
Send your slippers to the Good News Rescue Mission and leave the rest of us alone!
We believe Shasta County government should not be bought.
In protest, we will be bringing to the next several supervisors meetings "a pillow" to comfort the pain you have given us all.
We also will have feathers handy to throw in the air (Think Bethel Church) any time the word "Militia" is used in context to the present county supervisor members and during public comment time.
And as an amazing display of public unity members of the Shasta County supervisors meeting audience will sing disruptively this jingle on que any time the word "homeless" is used by do nothing board ...
"For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works."
The Church on Bonnyview that many of you attend, is this what they teach you?
As Christians, "They went out from us, but they did not belong to us. For if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us. But their departure made it clear that none of them belonged to us."
Do you do it in Jesus Name? “These things I have spoken to you, that you should not be made to stumble. They will put you out of the synagogues; yes, the time is coming that whoever kills you will think that he offers God service. And these things they will do to you because they have not known the Father nor Me."
They have shown their hand for some time now it is quite obvious.
It is the creation of the New California, The State of Jefferson, the 51 state.
"Shasta County Red White & Blue, ... Just Not For You"
It is a reduction to a very bare minimum or even nonexistent Shasta County Health and Human Service Dept.
Downtown Redding Homeless
You see there are no homeless in this fantasized gun loving utopia.
Mental health, disabled, handicapped help will be greatly reduced, or not be found...
LGBTQ rights will be ignored.
And black lives certainly will not matter....
“The King will reply, 'Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.'
What is antigovernment extremism?
More frightening still, they have a Cottonwood militia army and others behind them to push this agenda and quell any opposition.
And make no mistake, trusted insiders say this militia army has 50 cal machine guns and explosives at their disposal.
"For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled."
Redding Shasta County - Ground Zero For Civil War.
THEY MUST be stopped now... But how?... Is there a "blueprint" for this sort of thing?
By putting away indifferences for a common cause and pooling social media resources.
Local and national news organizations wanting to avoid violence, friendly to our goals.
Our cause needs a financial hero as well
It MUST be stopped now...
And the first thing we should do to avoid Redding and Shasta County from becoming ground zero for civil war in America,is recall Supervisor Patrick Henry Jones.
Of course, many are slowly dying inside as they waist away homeless on Redding California's cruel streets, a palpable indifference from that Redding City Council, and Shasta County Supervisors who should care, yet for years have turned their collective backs in cold indifference.
Since the City of Redding continues to allow homeless to camp within 2 feet from road up and down State St & Favretto Ave next to a dark Semi Truck trailer transfer lot, I propose at least some modicum of safety by simply placing bright safety cones and safety barriers at strategic spots on these horrible dark streets that our homeless population seeks refuge.
Two feet from same road Lori was crushed except much darker here across street semi-trailer transfer block after accident
Quite frankly, the City of Redding would do well to open the unused South City Park during the night, or some other suitable nighttime refuge area.
By the Redding City Council and its Shasta County Supervisors simply turning their collective backs to an obvious safety issue as its sole reaction to the tragedy that occurred there is simply unacceptable, and surly the blood of the next man, woman, or child brutally and horrifically squashed out of them will spiritually be on your hands.
If you agree please share this blog on your social media AND let them know how you feel...
I worked as a security guard at 1220 Sacramento Street in the downtown Redding Shasta County welfare office. I had a problem with who I should turn in my incident reports into as in my opinion a rather troubled client named "Donny," (not real name) had been swinging a cane dangerously close to my security guard partner. Several days later this individual Donny was outside yelling and flipping the bird at somebody out in the parking lot. I later saw the fellow Donny was fighting with and individual said Donny "has raped several women in Redding."
Next day this same individual was in office when Donny came in and started yelling "this guy is accusing me of rape" which supervisor "Sammy Jo" did an incident report. I told supervisor Athena about the Donny incidents and have been told by "Supervisor Athena" with Supervisor Fawn in Fawns office that "I was to quit investigating Donny" and the City of Redding wants them to relocate due to the people they attract, and the number of police calls they generate.
3 guards I know of alone were told NOT to call the police... and I believe my incident reports on Donny have been "misplaced" by welfare staff...
Another security guard that works there said he goes out with them at night socially, (Welfare workers) and has told them the same thing about City of Redding wanting them to relocate.
For the sake of the safety of the county workers I am guarding any allegations of rape that occur in the parking lot I am guarding and inside the welfare office on my watch certainly WILL be investigated.
Another security guard there and I were taken into the office and their expectations were made known to us by supervisors "Sammy Jo" and Maureen. They told us that if there were any incidents, we were to call them on little two-way radios and not emergency police, or EMS and they would respond. I said to these supervisors are they telling me I have to call them if I am assaulted and not the police?
Supervisor Maureen replied, "Well two heads are better than one."
She then gave me a slip of paper with 2 phone numbers should I have a problem
In an effort to appease the pressure allegedly applied by the City of Redding and reduce emergency dispatches to the facility it is shocking to me that officer safety, especially a disabled officer, is being undermined, especially in an area where severe mental health and addictions are so prevalent, some of these folks are violent.
Should I be punished for such conduct by Shasta County Welfare staff?
I certainly would like and believe that I am not banned as they now say from all Shasta County sites my security guard company serves and need an attorney to guide me through this strange episode of the real-life Twilight Zone.
It was my absolute pleasure to attend Saint James Lutheran's open house, showcasing the plans for a tiny homeless shelter community.
On the property behind their church, featured was one of the tiny homes already built that will accommodate 2 homeless individuals should the church board vote to go forward with this beautiful, long overdue, positive first step in alleviating homelessness in the city of Redding and Shasta County.
Saint James Lutheran has boldly and bravely accepted the challenge to be one of the first to demonstrate the Love of Jesus Christ and provide for the needs of the "least of the brethren."
Other churches and the City of Redding are soon to follow, with hopes of building other micro shelter communities in and around Redding.
With layers of supervision and accountability, it will certainly be a situation of a hand up, and not a handout. Providing homeless with the "first step of a ladder" to climbing out of the dreadful situation of being homeless.
And why not, the Holy Bible from one end to the other speaks of Gods desire that we should help the poor, and the rewards of that will reverberate through the city with the Blessings of God.
Oh, there were the naysayers, the NIMBY folks and immediate neighbors were quite unhappy and let their thoughts be known. And strangely enough even several folks from next stores Our Lady of Mercy Catholic church came by and voiced their concerns. Strangely still, the church secretary was concerned that these folks would come next store and consume all their donations from their food giveaways.
Of course, when Jesus Christ was freely giving of the loaves and fishes homelessness was not a barrier for their physical and spiritual needs, nor should it be for the church next store...
After all, we serve the same Jesus Christ, ... Don't we?
"Beloved, I beg you as sojourners and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul, having your conduct honorable among the Gentiles, that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may, by your good works which they observe, glorify God in the day of visitation"
Preach the Gospel at all times and if necessary, use words
You would be hard pressed to find a better example of this saying witnessing the Journey church in action going about our community
Showing, through action, the Love of Jesus Christ giving to the homeless the means to survive spiritually and physically on our streets.
Every third Saturday you can find their team compassionately giving out food, water, clothing, even dog food to those who have so very little.
Sixty food boxes, as well as forty sack lunches were given out on one Saturday alone.
And of course prayer was offered to those who spiritually feel that they need it for whatever reason.
They also offer food at their Church to those in poverty and meet their hunger needs.
It was an absolute pleasure to go out with them into the homeless community and meet them where they are.
The Team goes to the Cypress Street bridge, Library, and Masonic lodge area every third Saturday and I can tell you the homeless are very appreciative.
Unfortunately, talking to some of them, an added stress to being homeless is the Redding police constantly threatening to raid and disband their camps.
With nowhere to go, often they are driven to the outskirts of town where no homeless services are found for miles.
If you are interested in donating, volunteering, or attending this Holy Spirit filled church and ministry, you can find their Facebook page here
With Christmas just days gone by, you would thing Redding and Shasta County Supervisors would have more compassion for the homeless in our community. The Good News Rescue Mission, 3100 South Market Street, the only nighttime shelter we have is reportedly kicking out homeless seeking shelter for the most nominal of offenses. Several can be seen sleeping on the sidewalk in front of the mission.
Redding Homeless - Good News Rescue Mission
Those with mental issues, are forced to sleep outside, even though the temperatures have been below freezing for several days now, including homeless children. Dozens of homeless are forced to seek shelter under the roof of a very compassionate local business but really is that fair to them?
A young little girl in a pink jacket is living in a freezing boulder field under Cypress Street with dozens of other homeless sufferings, yet even though the City of Redding has declared a Homeless Shelter Crisis, and received a million dollars, the refuse to put a large tent next to those languishing under this and other bridges seeking the only shelter they can find.
Why it's perfectly natural that folks don't want to go to the Good News Rescue Mission. I know of several instances where homeless young boys have been molested there. Other reports of men masturbating. bed bugs, scabies, and other unpleasant behaviors seem to be the norm, not to mention thievery. Young boys at a certain age I understand are separated from their families and forced to stay with them.
And of course the 30 days in 30 days out mission policy is tragic, since most folks point to the mission as the be all as far as homelessness is concerned in Shasta County... The only game in town.
Some time ago, I had a conversation with my next door neighbor, Deputy Sheriff Will Gardner ( at one time sex crime investigator), that I was concerned that a homeless child could be molested, and the pedophile could attend the Good News Rescue Mission's drug and alcohol program as part of his sentence, eating the finest donations of deli meats and cheeses, sitting on fine plump leather couches in air-conditioned comfort, while that homeless child is still in the bushes curled around a rock still homeless.
Deputy Sheriff Will Gardner stated " You dont have to worry about that scenario any longer.... Its already happened...
Fascinating that the City of Redding has also received as I understand 18 million dollars in Covid relief funds, that can certainly be used to give our least fortunate some kind of relief, is used to hire 3 more City of Redding employees and machinery to destroy homeless survival areas.
Hostile Architecture Is Being Constructed Under Cypress Street Overpass Bridge Redding California To Drive Out Homeless From Taking Shelter From The Storm's...
Just In Time For Winter and Holidays - Would Jesus Christ Approve?
Redding IS Experiencing a Homeless Crisis !
Where Are Our Shasta County Christian Pastors and Preachers To Speak Out Against This??
Little over a week since a homeless disabled woman was allegedly ran over by a City of Redding California garbage truck and no more than a hundred feet from where another incredible safety hazard was reported to the Redding California police department yesterday early morning and for almost an hour there was NO RESPONSE !
Now it cannot be over emphasized that this is on a corner and this person was in a very dark colored bag clearly in the path of alleyway traffic, a gruesome horrible mangulation or death to be sure.
Not unlike what witness's to Tina's death described as what looked like a knife right down the middle opening her up. Could she have been murdered then put out into the direct path of traffic in hope of somebody or something running her over covering their nefarious deeds? An unheard of third murder of a homeless soul here in Shasta County?
Please feel free to leave flowers, balloons and other love offerings for Tina's Memorial corner of Outwest Furniture behind Der Wienerschnitzel
Quite a spiritual battle brewing in theses parts, as rumor has it that Redding Mayor and Bethel church connected Erin Resner is purchasing the Outwest Furniture store where outside Tina was allegedly murdered and a beautiful memorial has been constructed.
Yet right across the street is a little Christian church doing exactly the Lords will serving what the world sees as the "Least of the Brethren" filling their physical as well as spiritual needs.
I believe we have a tragic homeless problem, and by police pushing our homeless from downtown to surrounding neighborhoods and greenbelts is no solution at all.
Alleyway Outwest furniture
City of Redding officials MUST declare a homeless crisishere, free up the necessary funds, and prevent deaths like Tina's, and those in the future, even if Redding police will not..
