Rather than work or do something productive, homeless advocates vandalize the city to promote homeless acceptance

Slathered with glue, plastered on mailboxes, store fronts — even on the base of a $16,000 work of art on the corner of Fifth and Main streets — are anonymous signs proclaiming "Jesus was homeless."
The unattributed signs popped up all over downtown Grand Junction on Monday morning, annoying those charged with removing them and stirring thought in others.
Idiot hippy scum need to get it in their fucking heads that if you want to promote love/support/acceptance for something, you don't do it by ruining people's shit and pissing them off. On "Earth Day" in Madison, WI, hippies went out and let the air out of the tires of SUV's and minivans--basically all vehicles that hippies deemed as gas hogs. My roommate's SUV was one of the targets. My roommate and the other victims hate hippies so much more now that they want to keep their SUV's and minivans just to say "fuck you" to the hippies. When you think about it, the hippies just caused more destruction to the environment by the potential tire damage done if the driver doesn't notice his/her flat tires, drives on them, and shreds them. Wasting rubber is bad. Misguided hippies, I hope you all realize the err of your ways or die. Instead of spending your time vandalizing neighborhoods and aggravating people, redirect your energies to doing something that's actually positive for your cause and improves society.

Keith Bradley, who runs a 45-bed homeless shelter at South Sixth Street and South Avenue, said the signs need to be taken with a grain of salt.

Jesus, he said, was not homeless because "he had a purpose in what he was doing."

He went on to say that with the number of services available in the Grand Valley, no one needs to be homeless if they choose not to be.

"I think the problem here is being taken care of," Bradley said. "It's not a disgrace to be poor, but the disgrace is not trying to get out of it."
Wow, no joke, it is amazingly refreshing to hear someone who runs a homeless shelter speak about homelessness this way. I fully agree with everything he said. Keith Bradley, I salute you.

Jesus wasn't homeless, he was my homeboy.
