Odds that the DA who decided to charge the pastor is a shitheel republiQan: 99.999%.

Let’s check the board . . .

Interesting: the DA is a Democrat who said he will not seek re-election two weeks ago: https://www.tmj4.com/news/local-news/milwaukee-county-district-attorney-john-chisholm-will-not-seek-reelection

I wonder if an ADA is looking to pick up some filthy campaign lucre by prosecuting homeless-helpers.

Why would a Milwaukee county DA be enforcing zoning laws in Bryan, Ohio?

A fair point - the Milwaukee journal sentinel article talks about people freezing in Milwaukee and then jumps to Ohio. I didn’t catch the jump and, honestly it’s a little weird. Still, my bad. Thank you all for pointing it out.
