Police are on scene for a stabbing that occurred at the Rescue Mission on Yanonali Street.
The two key words . . . “Rescue Mission”. Based on Christianity. The first time I became homeless, I use to go there every night, and believe you me, many of them were heavy drug users, heavy alcohol drinkers, and many with serious mental issues. For me that was a horrible experience to be surrounded by these individuals. I use to work, rent a home, pay my bills, and have a good social life.
