THIS ARTICLE IS DIRECTED TO FULLERTON MAYOR DOUG CHAFFEE WHO DESERVES TO GO TO HELL; COUNCIL MEMBER JENNIFER FITZGERALD WHO HAD TO ADD HER PHONY PR STATEMENT AND THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF MERCY HOUSE, LARRY HAYNES WHO WAS UNFORTUNATELY LESS THAN CANDID WITH THE GOOD PEOPLE OF FULLERTON! By Barry Levinson

I watched this wife and husband, Mr. and Mrs. Sharma tell their family’s incredibly scary story and I could not believe the inhuman, insensitive and uncaring treatment by Fullerton Mayor and OC Supervisor want a be Doug Chaffee. Mrs. Sharma was very distraught, yet the Mayor cut her off before she could finish her story because she had gone over her allotted three minutes of time.

Apparently the Mayor was more concerned that the meeting end a few minutes earlier for him than with this woman’s heart breaking story and making sure that the city takes proper and complete action to make it more unlikely that it would every happen again. Doug Chaffee is a poor excuse for a human being. He now incredulously wants to be our OC Supervisor. To quote you Mayor Chaffee….”YOUR TIME IS UP!!!! Joe Imbriano calls Doug Chaffee the Mayor from Hell. Well Joe I do not know if that is where he comes from but I can assure you that Mayor Doug Chaffee will at the end of his life end up in HELL and Deservedly So!!

The arrogant, pompous Doug Chaffee gave this distraught mother 260 SECONDS to attempt to tell her frightening story about what transpired and how both EV Free and Mercy House had some responsibly for apparently violating the city code for dealing with the homeless. Doug Chaffee said at the end that the daughter needs medical i.e. psychiatric help. How about you Mayor Doug Chaffee enforce the city code on EV Free and Mercy House? How about you do your F-ing job? Unfortunately, he was in too much of a rush to get home a few minutes earlier by cutting off this distraught woman. I remember not to long ago when ex-council member Jan Flory got up to speak during public comments and the council members, many the same as today gave her well over 10 minutes to go on and on and on! They only enforce the rules when members of the public who are not their buddies get up to speak no matter how important the topic as was the case here! Chaffee is a pompous, arrogant, unfeeling, insensitive piece of garbage who is much more concerned about how much time is given to a Fullerton citizen then actually making sure this failure by Mercy House, EV Free and the City of Fullerton does not happen again!! Remember this atrocious behavior by Doug Chaffee who is running for OC Supervisor when you go to vote for that position later this year!

Could it be that Doug Chaffee who is a big supporter of Mercy House did not want to hold them accountable for their apparent failure to run a homeless shelter within the rules for shelters of the City of Fullerton? Want to hear a really good joke? This poor excuse for a Mayor and a human being now wants to be our next OC Supervisor! You got to be kidding us!!

Her husband told Mayor Chaffee that it was unfortunate that he cut off his wife’s comments. In response Mayor Chaffee stated “we extended the time well beyond” the 3 minutes allotted to her. Well I went back to the video Mr. Mayor and I guess your definition to going well beyond the allotted 3 minutes is to give her a whopping additional 80 seconds to tell her very important story. I do not know how many tens of hours of comments others and I have had to endure about your various vacation trips or which function you and your wife attended. All of that is such self-serving drivel. But when it comes to something really important you gave her an additional 80 SECONDS! How incredibly magnanimous of you Mr. Mayor!

Council member Jennifer Fitzgerald as usual was as phony as a three-dollar bill. It is not her fault really; because it is the only way she knows how to deal with the Fullerton public. She made this PR statement after all the public speakers had spoken for the evening. She said as follows: “I want to say to the Sharma’s how sorry I am that this happened to you and your family and um to your neighbors who came. It really is obviously um awkward for us up here, I mean we have, we do have a protocol we follow with 3 minutes of speakers speaking on public comments.” She goes on to state “We don’t get into discussions with people who come up during public comment”.

Jennifer Fitzgerald became Vice President of Curt Pringle & Associates only after her election to the council

Why don’t you Council member Fitzgerald respond to people with city issues especially when it deals with our safety It is your choice to ignore us at the podium Council member Fitzgerald. It is more than just awkward for the public who you and your cohorts choose to ignore us. I have seen many instances when someone has praised the council and you respond to them all the time. Like I said Jennifer Fitzgerald is as phony as a 3-dollar bill. The only restraint you have as a council member Ms. Fitzgerald is talking about an upcoming scheduled agenda item. You could have spoken to this issue to your hearts content if you really wanted to serve the people. But we both know that is not why you sit on that dais Ms. Fitzgerald.

The Executive Director of Mercy House sounded very sincere and I do not mean to ignore the good works his organization does in the community. However, he must be totally honest with Fullertonians when it comes to a situation like the one disuccsed above. Unfortunately, he was not entirely forthcoming with his statements. He stated as follows: “I can’t prevent human movement.” Yet it is my understanding that your non-profit along with EV Free picked up these homeless from Santa Ana and dropped them off in Fullerton. So Mr. Larry Haynes you did in fact have a lot of control as to where these homeless people were the day and night in question because it was your group that brought them into our community sir. Mr. Sharma also stated that to run a homeless shelter in Fullerton you are required to find the homeless another place if you turn them away. You did not follow that rule and according to Mr. Sharma you failed to follow other rules as well. This is in your purview sir and certainly not out of your control. So when you all stop doing your PR cover-up, it would be very appropriate if you would at the very least actually run your homeless shelter within the rules the City of Fullerton has laid out for you and that the City of Fullerton actually enforce those rules. Isn’t that a novel idea Fullertonians? It would be appropriate if before you made the decision to pick up the homeless from other locations and then bring them into our city that you attempted to do some kind of background check of those people. It would be nice that once you brought them here that you had some responsibility for their whereabouts and their actions. Mr. Sharma indicated that EV Free has security guards to assist them with dealing with the homeless. It shows that they have real concerns for their own safety. It is a darn shame that they apparently do not have the same level of concern for their fellow Fullertonians. That is NOT the definition of a Good Neighbor!

One more point about Mercy House. I pulled up their website and I learned that there one member of the organization, James Brooks who is their Orange County Program Director, Emergency Services and also on their Board of Directors. That very much appears to be a conflict of interest and I will ask Mr. Haynes to explain why this person has this dual role.

Everyone who spoke from the City of Fullerton and those responsible for the shelter, i.e. Mercy House and EV Free took no real responsibility at the last council meeting. And saying your sorry without taking responsibility and without taking real steps to ensure that this is much less likely to occur again is just a bunch of empty words. We demand that such organizations such as EV Free and Mercy House do more than come to our Fullerton City Council with words that amounts to not much more than CYA’s in my humble opinion! Finally, we expect that the City of Fullerton take action against these organizations when they fail to live up to the City Codes for running a homeless shelter. You noticed that none of the above was specifically dealt with or addressed during the council meeting.

And to the Sharma family and to all families in Fullerton, I SAY WE DESERVE BETTER FROM OUR CITY GOVERNMENT AND FROM OUR NON-PROFIT INSTITUTIONS.

PS: Council member’s Bruce Whitaker’s comments after all the public comments were over and he was asked by Mayor Chaffee if he had anything to say at this time were as follows: “Not at this time Mr. Mayor.” Once again Bruce Whitaker displayed his total lack of courage to speak out about the most important issues facing the good people of Fullerton. What a guy! What a poor example of leadership Whitaker displayed by being as quiet as a church mouse!

The new homeless shelters at Grace Ministries, EV Free Fullerton and Eastside Christian Churches

Today the riverbed encampments that have been home to upwards of 1000 homeless men, women and children have reached the end of the line. All of these people need the forgiveness and the power of Jesus Christ to truly set them free from their addictions to heroin, alcohol, methamphetamine, and prescription drugs. Some need mental health care, some just need a small amout of financial help to get them back on their feet. Some are in dire need of medical and dental care. We know the government ruins everything they get involved in and that is by design. The government is secular and godless. The church of Jesus Christ has been commissioned to restore and renew the world. It has been bestowed with the responsibility by Jesus Christ himself to care for the sick, set the prisoners of addiction free, to restore lives, to care for the widows, the oppressed, the fatherless and the poor.  Well the evictions have begun and the homeless have nowhere to go for help or do they?

“The Grace Korean Church office, which supports the administration of the Korean Church of Grace, is located in the Vision Center of the Church. The basic tasks of the church are basic administrative and financial affairs and various events. Above all, we want to provide kind and sincere service to the Saints and all those who visit us. 

 

Grace Ministries International

Grace Ministries sits on 26 pristine acres in Fullerton. They have plenty of room to house the homeless.

Grace Ministries Praise the Lord Fullerton Nature preserve.

 

They have plenty of money too.

$25,000 a seat

You would think Bonanza was filmed here.

They spent $30,000,000 on its 2500 seat “vision center.”

They even stole our library from us the residents by rigging a dirt cheap lease of the Fullerton Hunt Library and parking lot bringing the compound up to almost 30 acres.

Money money everywhere at Grace Ministries International and not a bed, a shower or a meal to be found because there was no room for them at the inn.

“We go into the world as missionaries. We are passionately convicted that as Christ-followers who bear his name, we are to participate with God’s work in the world and to pass along to others what God has given us.”

EV Free Fullerton

EV has plenty of room to house the homeless.

They recently spent close to $20,000,000 to build a parking structure that sits empty 6 1/2 days and 7 nights a week that is big enough for 550 parking spaces which is almost 200,000 square feet. It is well lit and provides excellent access to the sanctuary that EV Free recently spent $5,000,000 to remodel which seats around 1000.

They also own multiple apartment buildings and the shopping center across the street. They currently are spending another $1,200,0000 on more rennovations.

It even has a gymnasium complete with showers and a large kitchen. It could house and feed many people in need. EV Free takes in about $26,000 a day tax free and spends every dime of it.

“We are a mix of ages and ethnicities at different places on our spiritual journeys, a community of faith committed to pursue God together, build community by connecting and serving in meaningful ways, and unleash compassion both locally and globally.” 

Eastside Christian Church Anaheim

Eastside Christian Church spent $56,000,000 to aquire and rennovate the 20 acre site in Anaheim. This is a centrally located property and could house many of the displaced residents from the river encampment.

Posh seating at their new Laserium concert venue

There is plenty of room and plenty of parking for everyone.

Eastside takes in about $39,000 per day tax free and spends every dime of it.

I WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND HOW PEOPLE CAN BE SO STUPID TO GIVE AWAY THEIR MONEY TO ORGANIZATIONS THAT DON’T FOLLOW WHAT IS MANDATED IN THE VERY BIBLES IN THE PEWS.

Matthew 25:31-46Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: 32 and before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: 33 and he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. 34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35 for I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: 36 naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. 37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? 38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? 40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. 41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: 42 for I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: 43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not. 44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? 45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. 46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal. 

GIVE YOUR MONEY TO THE PEOPLE WHO NEED IT, NOT THE PEOPLE WHO ACT LIKE THEY DO THAT HAVE TOTALLY ABDICATED THEIR VERY GOD GIVEN RESPONSIBILITIES TO THE POOR.
