Tommy, criminal behaviour is not a factor in the overall decision to
allow services for the needy. Jesus never rejected a soul. Ministry
is charged with aiding those in need. If the liberal court system
weren't releasing these individuals back into society there would be
no public threat. To cease support because among the masses there
are those that intend evil upon another is like shutting down the
asbury park government because former councilman Hamilton was
arrested for taking a bribe. You can not corporately punish a
segment of community because a handful in the community are evil.
As for me being happy that asbury wouldn't have a mission, with the
inuendo that our ministry in Long Branch would have more "business"
is another flaw in defense of the objection of the asbury facility.
It is incumbent upon every municipality to provide services for all
it's citizens. The attitude that it would draw people into Asbury is
noted, however the reason that may occur is because other communities
are not being held responsible for the needs within their own
jurisdiction. Until the State begins to provide shelter for homeless
people statewide, more importantly shelter services are profitable
operations, they are charity driven.
