text: Isn't Ron Soto, guilty of the same thing that the homeless are being sanctioned for? He's sitting in a public place with a sign, so what makes it okay for him and not okay for a homeless person? There certainly are different standards applied. If it's a public place then why is it illegal to be there at all? If loitering is not allowed then how do they define loitering and how long does it take for sitting or standing, to become loitering?
  
  It's just a fact that people need to have a place to sleep, some where in close proximity to support services. Designate an area for the homeless and make them stay there. The US is good at that sort of thing. The Indians were put on reservations and killed if they came outside! I wonder just how many of our homeless, served this country and got a kick in the butt for doing so?
