WE DON’T WANT AN ALL MALE HOMELESS SHELTER NEAR OUR KIDS
@lmraven good for the councilwoman, she was standing up against the NYPD to save a grandma
So many racist idiots here. These are Chinese Americans. They actually passed a citizenship test unlike most of the rats mouthing off here. They're protesting a homeless shelter that the city is persistent on building here. This community just started to grow after 30 years!
@unbelieve it doesnt matter what you say send them back we dont want any
Build the shelter next to Eric Adam’s home
@mrhorsepills excellent!
@asystolely Keep it up!!! Let them all know we don’t want this and it doesn’t belong here!!!! Make all the noise you can!!!
@blueeyes728 YES! PERMANENT HOUSING AND HOMELESS SHELTER ARE TWO DIFFERENT PURPOSES. We need permanent housing not homeless shelter. Homeless shelter is unsafe for the Bensonhurst area because the status of 150 male men are unknown and they could be dangerous for children and elderly in this vulnerable neighborhood especially if they have previous crimes and substance abuse usage.
