It strikes me that there is nothing in this article representing the point of view of people in the park or those who are knowledgeable about what has gone on there, some of whom have posted here and could be contacted by the RG. No, not me, but others who have actually spent time there and talked to the people, who I understand are mostly homeless, who hang out there.

Regardless of who is "right" about what happened, when something as controversial as this happens, it seems like the RG should be obligated to get more than one side of the story. Very lazy, one-sided reporting. The RG has shed no light on the situation downtown, why there is conflict, or what needs to be done about it. This is typical of the mainstream news media, and it's why a lot of people are abandoning it in favor of other websites and social media such as Facebook.
