I LOVE this man! I just saw him interviewed on MSNBC. What a hero…
People are threatening to convict him of crimes, but he said, too often people see injustice around them and they do nothing. I’m not going to be a part of it.” The law is not a good enough reason to behave this way… Due diligence must be enhanced before it is fair to evict people who’ve not missed any payments…
Yeah, he’s taking a stand, listening to his heart, putting people first — that’s awesome!
