Many HOMELESS registered Americans in San Diego are not having a Happy Thanks given day being San Diego CA. is the only city on the entire west cost where registered Americans are not allowed in homeless shelters -they run the risk of being arrested attempting to eat a thanks given meal at a homeless shelters due to Jessica’s law. which the homeless shelters enforce. Don’t believe it/ Walk into Father Joe’s-say your a registered Americans-see how fast you are asked to leave-or the cops will be called.

Be grateful for your Thanks given day-just be made aware that a lot of registered Americans in San Diego can’t,UNDER HE COLOR OF LAW. The sex offender registry is truly evil don’t believe it? see this documentary film on it” http://www.evillaw.tk

Well, I thought this whole issue was pre-empted by state law. Cities and counties must stay out of it.

I hear you brother. I was homeless in San Diego. And Father Joes never did a thing for me. I had more help from the salvation army place.
