"and numerous breaches of court-imposed orders." Why is it that we insist on just accepting these peoples blatant disregard for the law. No one follows up on the court orders and allow them to get away with anything. It seems just days ago many people were writing in regarding the Vagrancy article. Some were saying just leave them alone, they never harm anyone. What do you say now????
