Thank you for reporting. I'd like to bring attention to a concern over your headline. I encourage you to remove the word 'homeless' from the headline. Stating that he is a man who raped a woman does the public a better service. Homeless people to do not rape more frequently than sheltered citizens. In an effort to increase safety and awareness for women and girls we must continue to convey that a man rapes a woman that is known to him by friendship or by being a family member in over two-thirds of sexual assaults. It is critical that we keep the onus on the fact that men rape women. Including the fact that he was homeless would be much more appropriate later in the article if you feel the need to report on his living status but it's truly making this sound like a homeless problem when it is a man problem. Thank you for your consideration.

To the last comment are you serious?? Why are you worried about the word "homeless". The perpetrator was homeless! Do you even care that a violent RAPE of an innocent woman took place? She was violated, she will never be the same after an event like this. Please stop with your bleeding heart crap that is what is wrong in this world today.

If the word Homeless offends you then I propose a new name "SODA" for Homeless. SODA stands for Sex Offender Drug Addict. Here's a Soda there's a Soda. This is a slow-motion riot destroying our beautiful region. When we sue the individuals and institutions "mailing" their problems for convenience we can begin to recoup our losses. I always thought Sodas slept on sidewalks and begged from pedestrians.
This whole tent city concept is great. Why don't we just set up military type camps complete with latrines and tents and guards? Use this for clean working people who are tired of spending half their income on rent. You can put one anywhere you want. security patrol.
Also if you are a homeless vet, off to a military base you go for rehabilitation...simple. And if you are a drug addict lets not just go safe injection sites lets go for all the drugs you want sites and they can destroy themselves without having to commit property crimes. By giving taxpayer money to these people to keep them alive as long as possible we are actually doing the Mexican drug cartels a favor by increasing their sales volume. And as for sex offenders permanent incarceration.

Had to comment after seeing the pansy up there wanting the word homeless removed from the article. It's completely relevant to the situation. It tells women to keep their guard up around the homeless. Which they most definitely should. Do you realize how many sex offenders live on the streets? Give me break with your high and mighty bs. Homeless are wrecking this part of the state. And what around are you doing about it?
