Their participation was never in question by the organizers of Humboldt Pride. What was attempted was negotiating and coordinating how they would participate.
"It's a nice story to make you feel sorry for those that are homeless so you will put up with their drugs, violence and filth, which are the biggest problem with the homeless. I think I would be more supportive, if they were not hitting you up every time you come near one, that they didnt poop and pee on ground that drains into the bay, that they didnt destroy everything that is given to them to help with the filth and that they were trying to get out of their life of addiction.."
With what resources and access are they supposed to solve any of these problems for themselves?
What, pray tell, is being 'given to them to help' that they are making filthy?
As the media shows you every day, those with seemingly endless resources struggle with helping their loved ones to get clean of substance abuse. How do you expect people to somehow do so without support, or security, or money of any kind?
It is quite clear from your post that to you, these people's very existence is a negative impact on the community. Yet they exist. They are already in the hole, according to you and a disturbing number of people in this country, and you stand up there on the surface, clucking your tongues at them for being so low and dirty that you are disinclined to reach out and help pull them up.
Glad no one was seriously hurt. Huzzah HVFC!

I've typed 'Humboldt Pride' for three years and 'Redwood Pride' for 3 months, and the wrong one flew out of my fingertips.
