Another one! This is where the city of SLO wants to send all the homeless men and woman that are sheltered, nourished and protected at Dan Devauls place. That judge and his cronies should rot in hell.

God Bless the Homeless

Shame on us for looking the other way at those who are homeless. Could be one of us someday.
