META-OUTRAGEOUS Monday morning wasn't the first time Michelle Bradford received a ride from Beaver County deputies. The office had placed Bradford, a 39-year-old homeless woman who can't speak or hear, in a motel and twice helped her go to a homeless shelter in Cedar City.
But this time, Beaver County law enforcement took her over the Millard County line to a service station at about 1 a.m., then drove away.

For some reason, this story really gnaws at me. After I read the link, I'll know why.

The sheriff is pissed because his deputies let a problem leave his jurisdiction, and not for any other reason.

It's really common in small towns, i think--they have no services.

We're no better tho even with services--we bus homeless people upstate to massive Camp LaGuardia--a Giuliani legacy.

Because she fucking lives there, you fucking stupid redneck.

Amberglow there is a big difference. The equivalent would be if a NYPD unit took a homeless person and dropped her off at a gas station in New Rochelle (that sort of thing has been known to happen).
