We pay millions, if not billions per month to house illegal aliens who rape, kill and steal in nice hotels, but American citizens and American veterans are not even allowed a fucking tent in the city from the country they were born and raised in!

This is truth.

If it's legal to park a car there then what you do inside your own car is none of anyone's business.

And they shouldn't make it illegal to park overnight simply as a ruse to prevent sleeping.

People forget that this country was largely occupied by people who walked everywhere. Most people couldn't afford horses. And even those who were traveling by a horse over long distances just pulled over to the side of the road tied their horse to a tree limb built a fire and slept until they got up the next day to continue their travels. That was the norm of existence. This new weird Norm where we have roads with no reasonable way for people to pull over and rest is not constitutional nor was it the practice when our constitution was written so many of the things that they're outlying now we're presumed so obvious in the days that the constitution was written that they didn't feel like they needed to expressly say people have the right to sleep on the way to traveling somewhere. That's the case with many issues being adjudicated today. It is the reason that rest areas exist on highways but they're far too far apart and they don't deal with people who are walking. Many people don't have vehicles. Honestly if people have complaints about smelly homeless people the easiest thing by far cheapest answer rather than enforcing it and pay salaries of zombots and pay for the imprisonment of people is to simply have some open public showers. You can literally have an open shower head in many places and have open sinks. It doesn't cost much to have running water and it doesn't even have to be hot. And if you avoid enclosures and buildings and you avoid a lot of the illegal activity that would otherwise take place. Just have an open shower place where people can cool off and wash. Then guess what you won't have unattractive smelly homeless people running around because they'd all prefer to take shower if there was one available. and you should also have bathrooms on every city block and every city in America if you ask me they zone with the sidewalks they mandate that we have ramps for handicapped people even though the number of handicap people is minuscule and it costs millions of dollars to build those little ramped corner sidewalk entrances for people in wheelchairs. But they don't somehow feel like it's proper to mandate that there be at least one public restroom on every city block which would solve so many problems. You go to Europe and they have these open pistols where you're just standing there peeing in this sort of a screen around you but they don't try to hide the fact that you're peeing and no one can get in there with you and it's not fully enclosed so you don't have all these crime problems and sex in the bathroom problems and other things.

Making it illegal to be homeless... what a country.

Once you become a burden on society due to your own selfish desire to just do drugs all day than society should have the right to banish you.

A tiny minority of homeless have genuinely just hit hard circumstances, these people don't stay homeless very long, there are many services to help the homeless. But most want no help they just want to continue to be a leech on society.

Go get another booster


If you think the image of a person doing drugs in the sidewalk is what people living of traveling without an apartment and in their car or walking is then you have fallen for more media nonsense and you need your next booster.

I see it every day with my own eyes, how much do you actually interact with the homeless?

All while making it harder and harder to pay rent.

It’s already been illegal to HELP the homeless - fines for passing out food or allowing them to take food WASTE.

Isn't the government wonderful?

How is not allowing people to sleep in the sidewalk punishment? That's like saying not allowing niggers to steal is punishment. They're not being punished, they're being assholes.

[ - ] Crackinjokes 1 point 11 monthsJul 1, 2024 10:22:14 ago (+1/-0)

No.
What they found was the punishments weren't cruel and unusual so they threw it back to the previous court.

They did not rule on whether or not it was unconstitutional to punish people for sleeping. That wasn't the issue in this case.

There have been other rulings already on that.

One of the justices himself said this may not be the case for further rulings simply because the standing and core issues brought by the plaintiffs weren't the direct sleeping issues.

How are they going to punish a homeless person?

[ - ] TheNoticing 0 points 11 monthsJul 2, 2024 17:13:04 ago (+0/-0)

Pigs punish people for anything and everything.
