Reply to comment by EcoAffinity in Greene County Sherriffs Department committing arson against the homeless population by the_honeyman

Im saying people are asking for proof of these claims and you're citing a facebook post (from a self described activist)

It's not a "Facebook post", but the direct relay of information provided from the homeless individuals whose belongings were burned to service folks who have boots on the ground every day with these groups and know them as equals and friends.

You are choosing instead to wait to see what the Sheriff's narrative will be concerning these atrocities despite them having a repeated history of such similar acts.

>It's not a "Facebook post"

This is the link you posted as an offer of evidence or proof: "https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10227836331829475&id=1105524839&mibextid=Nif5oz"

This is quite literally a facebook post.

I'm not saying it has to be a press release or narrative from the sheriff's office (although they'd surely have public record of such, if someone wanted to take the time to substantiate a serious claim like this), but that'd be one form of evidence most would accept.

Alternative a video or pictures might convince some who are skeptical as well; this has reportedly been going on for weeks and the claims being made have no proof to substantiate them.

Im just saying when you're making a serious claim like this, and people ask for evidence of your claim, a facebook post from a self identified activist isn't going to sway many, if any.

I haven't posted any links, and your link doesn't work for me. However, Christie's original Facebook post does have video with it. It happened over the weekend, the Sheriff's department will likely respond sometime this week, as they tend to stretch several days before reporting on actions against the homeless.

While you're trying to champion for the sheriff's office, it's clear you choose to or are just generally ignorant of their actions. They made press releases several times over the last couple months regarding homeless raids, and, again, just recently did a press release on a raid in January while using pictures from a raid during the summer. It changes the optics when you show photos of nice warm green areas being "cleared out" and not the reality of camps and personal belongings being destroyed in the dead of winter.

Congratulations on editing your other post multiple hours after your initial hard-hitting comment of

>Im.sayimg people are asking for proof of these claims and you're citing a facebook post.

Yeah, an activist (who's a religious leader and literally started her church to help the homeless and is one of the most effective outreach initiatives in Springfield) automatically debunks the claim. The police, and Sheriff Jim Arnott are so much more Christ-like and genuinely good folks who do nothing but out of the goodness of their own hearts and never try to push a hate-filled agenda against those "different" from Jim Arnott. Ignorant.

The claim being made is about arson and destroying private private. I haven't seen a video of this. If there is please share it.

Also. Believe me, I am no champion of the sheriff's office.
