I worked security at Texarkana Public Library for a year. We were right across the street from the "Friendship center," and "Mission Texarkana."
The library board was very "Progressive." I was forced to watch a video about "Libraries and the homeless." I'd love to share the unbelievable this piece of excrement I was required to watch, but they paid about $500 per view. As a member of "The Pistol Forum," I asked if anybody knew this guy and what his qualifications were. I'd Googled him and found NO actual certifications.
The PF members in the area knew of him and had little good to say of him. He is an enabler. He has a record of making bad decisions as regard to the safety of himself and those around him. (From his own videos.)
Make no mistake. These people are taking tax dollars as "Library" money and using it for a "de-facto" homeless shelter.
I don't know how many women thanked me for what I had accomplished at the library and said they were again willing to bring their children to the library. Unfortunately, the director hired a person of color a few weeks after I was hired on a full time basis. I was still part time with no benefits. Economics forced me to offer my resignation for a full time position at another job.
I went to the Christmas lunch and was honored as 6 of the 12 employees asked when "not if" (not when) I would return. As I pulled into the parking lot, I observed two individuals sitting with their mission issued lunch sitting on the planters. That is something I faced physical threats to stop. It was 15 to 20 individuals chowing down on the library property when I started. I faced many physical threats to put a stop to that. I also stopped the numerous bikers and skate boarders who seemed to think that the handicap ramp was built for their use. Never mind breaking the hip of some 80-year-old lady trying to check out a book.
I attended the Christmas lunch where 6 0f the the 12 employees asked when (not if ) I'd return. When I answered , "when it's a full time position," they rolled their eyes in an understanding motion.
Most of the folks that I came into contact with were appreciative my efforts. Hundreds of people, entering the library expressed appreciation of my efforts. But, that didn't convert into a Philosophical, nor financial commitment from the city government.
So. I'm with a different agency and homeless again use the library as a day-time homeless shelter. And mothers are again unwilling to subject their children to those conditions.
I busted my ass, saw the potential, and ultimately accomplished nothing.
I'm 64 -years-old and feel that I'm leaving a dying nothing to my children and grandchildren. I'm horrified, but can only leave it in God's hands to protect my family. I suspect it will become of a country I won't recognize.

Jesus promotes vandalism.

Typical lib ignorance. Jesus wasn't destroying private property. He was removing illegal money laundering from the Temple. A difference I'm sure will never penetrate a liberal brain.

From the Article:
"The Portland protest was one of many that Donald Trump's supporters staged across the country on Saturday."
Really, Trump Supporters staged the protest?
[sarcasm]Sounds like a real objective report.[/sarcasm]

And the DM consistently refers to "Patriots for Prayer" as a "Far Right" group. They're not even capable of recognizing their own bias anymore. A phrase like "far right" has no place in a "news" article. That is up to the reader to decide.

I'd hate to be stuck in any vehicle in the middle of a crowd like that. I still remember the attack on Reginald Denny.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attack_on_Reginald_Denny.
