Public Forum re: Court Decision that protects Homeless Rights

a lawyer, a historian, an activist, and a nurse walk into a classroom .....

this short video was recorded at the public forum november 17th 2008, and it offers more information about Mme. Justice Carol Ross's recent bc supreme court decision - the legality of the city's response, the history of the bylaws, and some of the impacts these have on the homeless community.

a police officer was invited, but didn't show. audience members speculated that all the vic pd officers were busy busting homeless people. (they manage to send 18-20 of them to break up a tent city .... a good time to rob a bank, perhaps?)
