I'm sure many liberals will find themselves disappointed after the communism is fully implemented and they see the real life results.


For your thoughtless lack of compassionate, ajax, you need to donate $100.00 to receive redemption.
This, or any other post that I have made or will make in the future, is strictly my own opinion and consequently of little or no value.

I'm sure many liberals [blah blah blah].
Please: this thread is about Darrick, homelessness, and mental health issues. There are plenty of other threads for political grandstanding.

That's my liberal, always finding ways to be generous with other peoples money. Nevertheless, your concern for our spiritual welfare is much appreciated Quasimodo, but just as with your socialism, I'm not buying it.

Yes this thread is about Darrick. I quoted a political point from what he wrote, the point being that liberal Oregon is no better for a homeless person than Dallas, Texas.

And when the confederates saw Jackson standing fearless as a stone wall the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.

Yes, our country is so much better when there are mentally ill people on the streets.

I'm definitely up for that! Who wants to set up a fund? How would that be done? A post office box to which cash donations can be sent (no names required) somewhere near Portland?

I've always felt that Darrick needed help. I would be delighted to do so.

Due to his heartless and unchristian comments, bc needs to donate at least $50.00 to avoid a well deserved eternity in Hell.


We should do something simply if for no other reason than we know about it now. How then. Get the newspaper to contact him with our intent and have him reply with at least a General Delivery post office location. I guess is the first step.

Quas make it so.

One of the many tragedies about this story is that bipolar can be successfully treated. But it is a difficult illness to deal with without a strong support system.
We hate to seem like we don’t trust every nut with a story, but there’s evidence we can point to, and dance while shouting taunting phrases.

Count me in for whatever....If he we still in santa monica, i would gladly deliver a package but portland is a bit of a drive for me...

I like how some people can use a thread about a mentally ill, homeless man into an un-christlike rant about liberalism...pretty shallow...

ajax needs an education first and foremost. He better not go to a library or use the internet though. Might get a bit of that communist collective resource stuff on him....

I'm in for whatever can be done. Linking Darrick up with whatever social services can provide assistance, advice and direct support would be the first step, I suppose?

Good idea. I have to leave for a few hours, when I get back and if no one else has offered, I'll get in contact with the paper. If we have someone on the ground there willing to help arange things, we can then raise some support and hopefullt improve Darrick's condition. I'm sure someone on the staff would love to help if we can provide the funds.

If we can figure out what he is close to, i would be happy to try to arrange a week in a hotel or something for him - i just don't know the area at all.
