Misguided "Vagrant Watch" Supporter Endorses Stalking?

I reported the St. Augustine, Florida Vagrant Watch to Facebook and the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Just saw this Facebook post from Thursday, November 8, 2018, where an angry defender of the St. Augustine Vagrant Watch hate group wrote to me in another Facebook group:

Give us your address so all the homeless and vagrants can come to your house to crap, pee, vomit, aggressively panhandle, get drunk and fight at your house. Perhaps you can educate them with all your worldly wisdom! Put up or shut up!



Can't you just feel the love?  I wear her scorn as a badge of honor.  Pray for her.

On Veterans Day, we honor the courage of those who sacrificed, fought, were wounded or gave their lives for liberty, including my father, who taught me that you have to stand up to bullies or else they walk all over you.

Here is my prior post about Vagrant Watch hate group, from November 2, 2018, with updates:






I have reported the St. Augustine VAGRANT WATCH group to Facebook and the Southern Poverty Law Center.  I've written the group's moderators, with no response, so I wrote them again later in the day:

A. Please respond to my earlier e-mail.

B. Otherwise, Is it fair to assume from your inculpatory silence that VAGRANT WATCH has NO corporate charter, NO lawyers, NO liability insurance, NO signed photo releases, and WON"T supply any date/time-stamped photos?  

C. Whatever possessed VAGRANT WATCH to commit the alleged intentional tortious acts directed against both poor people and local employers and employees on the eve of St. Augustine's biggest tourist season?  Is this the equivalent of "leading with your chin" in boxing?  See attached document you sent to school boards

D. What makes you think that the poor people whom you allegedly harass daily don't have camera phones and the telephone numbers for local and federal law enforcement and news media?

E. What possible part(s) of your secular or religious education leads you to do what you do?  See your attached letter you sent to school boards.  Please list all recipients.

F.  Why do you daily misuse the judgmental word "vagrant," when vagrancy laws were found unconstitutional in Papachristou v. City of Jacksonville, 405 U.S. 156 (1972)?

G. How many people have you kicked off your Facebook page for engaging you about Compassion and Respect for the Rule of Law?

I look forward to hearing from each of you.

Thank you.

1. I hereby invite the moderators of the St. Augustine, Florida VAGRANT WATCH group to meet me for coffee tomorrow and to discuss the need for healing.

2. Please respond to my questions (below) concerning your enclosed fatwa (attached).

3. Kindly provide the date/time-stamped versions of the enclosed photos, which you distributed in an effort to discourage St. Augustine school group visitors.

4. Failing that, shall we infer that some or all of your enclosed photos are either materially altered, or staged/faked, or outdated?

5. Was it your intention to hurt St. Augustine's tourism economy?

6. Do you agree with Jesus that, "Whatever you do to the least of my brothers, that you do unto me"?

7. Are you prepared to explain your alleged stalking behavior, or your inflammatory exaggerations/falsehoods, to a federal court and jury?

Thank you.
