A homeless man in New York City doesn't fit the bill----yet----but when he tells the police and others that his name is Jesus Christ, Son of God, and has declared Washington Square Park a "spiritual zone", well, what would you do?

Meet Matthew John Mishefski, originally from Wyoming, whose picture appears on the front page of today's Post. He's already been arrested once, and has a court date pending in September, but according to the article, he's called Washington Square Park his home for about a month now, and it seems Mayor Bill DiBlasio's office is reluctant to formally evict Mishefski from the park. If he's posing no threat to citizens, I can understand, but the city being unwilling to do anything to find this man some housing??
As we've shared in the past, homeless people here in the home district prefer to be homeless to avoid the responsibilities of paying bills, finding jobs, etc.. I'm not entirely sure if Mishefski shares this mindset, but the fact that he identifies himself as Jesus to police and city officials suggests mental illness. That, so far, hasn't been confirmed. Then again, this guy is just average folks compared to a certain delusional fellow in Washington........
