    So he opened his church to the unhoused during freezing weather, was offered a citation for doing so, refused to stop and is now facing charges.

    Sounds like a cool dude.

      Yeah, the fact that he even has to waste time and money on this bullshit should have the D.A. immediately disqualified ever serving in the role again. What a fucking waste of time and resources.

      It happens a lot. Place near me got hit a year or two ago. Bad storm, and our only shelter wasn’t big enough. Had a church put people in their gym and boom, prosecuted.

    There’s a lot wrong with this post. I can fix the first problem, that the linked article is behind a paywall. Here’s a working version of the article.

    But also, this isn’t a news article, it’s an opinion piece. Does this sublemmy not have a ban on opinion articles? By definition, they are never newsworthy. They’re certainly not held to any journalistic standards, as they aren’t journalism.

    I think this is a primary-source news article about this pastor.
