Sarasota, Florida Is THE Number One City As The "Meanest"

[ChiciB1]

City toward The Homeless. Maybe this isn't of much interest to many, but I live just outside of the place, home of Cruella... Katherine Harris of course and this isn't NEWS to me. She's my Representative, lucky me! But I was surprised to glance at my TV in passing just a little while ago and saw that Sarasota, Florida ranked NUMBER ONE!!

Now I'm not saying ALL Police are bad, there are some very caring good people here... I just haven't seen many. Now I find that the city has been ranked as it has so it confirms some of my feelings!

Last time I checked it has been ruled by Repukes for at least 30 years that I know of. It has shown "some" shift, but on the whole Dems aren't happy campers here!

I recently tried to get help for a family who was in DIRE need of help and hit a BRICK wall at almost every turn. In the end I gave them a substantial sum of money to get them over the hump, but it was just a small "leg-up" as to what they really needed. They were going to lose their house and I took money out of my IRA to help. I'm NOT wealthy like so many in this County... Sarasota. They just needed the help. Unfortunately my help was just a band-aid and they are sinking again. I CAN'T dole out that kind of money again and I don't know WHAT they are going to do. It breaks my heart! I won't divulge the amount of money, but it was a lot to me... in the thousands.

Sarasota, FL... NUMERO UNO... meanest city to the Homeless! Gee, what a tag to have attached to a city!!!

8. Guess It's An Epidemic...

What a thing to report! I have seen some pretty awful things going on here too.

Once saw a man who was hand-cuffed and needed to relieve himself... the POLICE wouldn't let him use "the facilities" near by, so he relieved himself anyway!!

THEY didn't take "kindly" to that and treated him even worse!! I wanted so badly to report them, but KNEW it would be FUTILE!!

2. Bless you, ChiciB1.

If you took money out of your IRA, that had to have hurt, because it means you weren't taking it out of disposable income. :hug:

5. I remember THAT ONE Too!

After graduating from the Pricey Riverview High School (many kids drive upscale cars to school) they prided themselves on his overwhelming success!

But OOOOOPPPPS, THAT didn't last long! And there were many many others in there doing the VERY SAME THING!!!

Go Figure!!

11. AAAWWW Shucks... THEY Must Love Her!!

Me??? Ran into her at a Barnes & Noble once and had to "contain" myself!!

She gets her car fixed very close to the store and apparently shops there on occasion! And I must say, she AIN'T pretty! And yes, she does wear BLUE EYE SHADOW! At least she did then!!!

I also shop at a second hand book store close to there and the people there can't stand her either!! The car repair shop is across the street from their store.
