GRAND RAPIDS, MI – About 50 to 100 people experiencing homelessness have found shelter in tents pitched at Heartside Park.
A farm worker, a woman kicked out by her parents for being transgender, a self-described “gourmet chef” and a young couple were among those homeless and temporarily living in the city park.
The encampment and rising rates of homelessness prompted the development of an emergency shelter at the Purple East building, 250 Ionia Ave. SW, in the Heartside Neighborhood. According to shelter officials, the coronavirus pandemic has increased homelessness in Grand Rapids and other areas.
excellent. if you work at ms-13, st come it is a must read. when i read it i asked tom if he would come out and do this and give some insight from a non-law enforcement perspective and tom has written several books on terrorism, or a book on terrorism, and other books. he is also an attorney and is home based out of washington, d.c.. we ve known each other a good few years. we have talked about gangs for a long time. tom? [applause] .. it was about 12 years ago when i was working with an independent television producer. she was working on a documentary about gangs in the military. i meant wes then. i also met atf supervisor agents now. nothing has been changed. i think the documentary showed that it was different. the full title of my book, if you are interested, is no boundaires: transnational latino gangs and american law enforcement. when i talk about the book i just call it no boundaries . yesterday somebody asked me what the title was. i could not remember any of it
