His 11 reasons why people are homeless smacked of judgment.
Solution for homeless lies in stronger faith
Why I am homeless:
1. I’m addicted to drugs and alcohol.
2. I refused to go to school and get an education.
3. I did not want to listen to my parents and behave as I should have.
4. I like to break the rules and laws.
5. I don’t want to apologize or say I am sorry to anybody.

Using words such as “I like,” “I refused,” “I don’t want,” to explain why folks in Greensboro are surviving on the streets is hardly a good place to start a reasonable conversation.
6. I like to get over on the system and get things for free.
7. I don’t want responsibility.
8. I don’t like to work and I don’t want a skilled trade.
9. I don’t believe in God or Jesus or any religion.
10. I like to get over on the system and make fast money by hustling.
11. This is America, the home of the free.

I shudder at the thought that any person experiencing homelessness would turn to this man for help...
...Mr. Tuck, take time to learn about mental health, systemic poverty and the true definition of servant.
In the meantime, leave the work of giving shelter to those who need it to people who care and don’t judge."

"So I want you to continue to take good care of me.
I’ll be glad to come live with you.
Pick me up at the IRC or on the street where you see me begging for money,
or in a tent city in your neighborhood.
Thank you in advance...

"I worked club security. I know what goes on," Ron Tuck said. "The problem is outside of the club. The club's goon squads got everything under control inside the building, but outside the building they just don't care."

"Federal judge strikes down gay marriage ban in NC
Forsyth to begin issuing licenses at 8 a.m. Monday
...A federal judge in Asheville struck down the state's gay marriage ban Friday, opening the way for the first same-sex weddings in the state to begin immediately...
Ron Tuck, a self-described street preacher, was immediately approached by a couple of local pastors.
One of them was the Rev. Julie Peeples of Congregational United Church of Christ in Greensboro.
"Please don't do this. These are people who have been hurt already," she said.
Tuck said a prayer and then left with people cheering as he exited.
Outside, Tuck remained undeterred.
"Somebody needs to take a stand. This is not right."
