He's pretty much an activist, the city doesn't want his shelter downtown because they want to spruce that area up and that building is like 100 years old. They say he is over the limit for the number of people he has living in there but he claims since it is also a church he can have more just as long as they don't stay there overnight. He was moving the homeless to a place in the county but the folks out there said " Not in our back yard. " So, the city has to deal with them for now. He was also involved in those Ferguson protests where they shut a highway down and got hauled off to the pokey.
Having directly knowledge of this case, it was not the 18-man St Louis County SWAT team that served the warrant. It was a SWAT officer in the lead (who shot the dog), but the rest of the team was regular uniformed officers not in swat gear.
Notice the site also reported the family as black, when the entire family is white, and reported them as the sole occupants of the house, when they were actually the landlords of the renters of the house.
BTW, why do we allow government to tell us that we MUST have gas and electric?
They were renting out the house to tenants. Utilities are required when you are renting out your building. Gas is not required. But heat is required (we get way below freezing in winter) and the home only had gas heating.

It's the Reverend Larry Rice of the New Life Evangelistic Center if you want to read more about him.
He normally gets arrested for trespassing or occupying a condemned building as part of a protest (e.g. this case Rice arrested as St. Louis homeless camp dismantled : News).

Some of that stuff Rice shows on his channel about conserving energy is pretty interesting. I liked that homemade generator that didn't run on gasoline.
Amazing how many offenses people can rack up against society and how many chances they get to fix them before ever being actually arrested.
The dog died because of their White Trash owners.
You want to live like the the white redneck trash that you are without any civilized interference there are plenty of places in the backwoods for that.
They just might have had a medical thing recently in the past and were broke for a month or so etc and suddenly you peg them as white trash.
We get one side of a story on a liberal blog. Need to know some facts to make an informed comment.
Well it is a Dem run City that keeps the police armed like the military: Dem Politicians, Dem problem. Detroit, Baltimore, Chicago are all the same. Why would peace loving progressives want the Police armed to the teeth assaulting their populations .
" The Democratic Party has dominated St. Louis city politics for decades" "As of 2006, 27 of the city's 28 Aldermen are Democrats." St. Louis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
