I don’t believe that Ron Moore’s Sunday commentary saying society hates the homeless is true. Millions of dollars and volunteer hours are spent every year addressing the homeless problem.

Marco Benitez gets rightfully sentenced to 16 to 40 years for killing someone while driving drunk when Henry Ruggs gets only three years for the same crime?
