Guardian Angels protest 'dumpings' of homeless

Protestors, several of whom wear Guardian Angels shirts, walk through a residential area holding signs asking why the governor hasn't stopped the 'dumpings,' referring to the abandonment of homeless people in downtown Portland during the Rajneesh crisis. Before the elections of November 1984, the Rajneeshpuram community had recruited homeless people from across the country in order to register them as pro-Rajneesh voters in Wasco County. According to many reports, the Rajneeshees 'dumped' many of these homeless people in other towns after the election was done. The Alliance of Guardian Angels is a citizens' watch group founded in 1979 by Curtis Sliwa.
