I was wondering what could have possibly motivated the DP editorial staff to pen something that borders on criticizing Denver's homeless army and by implication the Hancock Administration whose policies have allowed this problem to fester and grow. Then I saw that one of the editorial page folks is married to someone connected with the Library. The homeless army is no problem when it is standing on every street corner in town, urinating and defecating on lawns and alleys, rummaging through trash cans, sleeping in store entrances and accosting tourists downtown - but let them turn the library into their daytime shooting gallery and it is time for action! 

Denver has made itself a magnet for the homeless - many of whom are professional drifters. The City has allowed many organizations to build shelters and food kitchens in the heart of downtown. It is time to stand up to the ACLU which is far more concerned with the rights of the homeless than those of honest taxpayers.
