Bill would enact homeless rights

SACRAMENTO — San Diego County’s growing homeless population could sleep and sit in public and solicit donations without facing criminal citations under a proposal moving through the California Legislature.

Supporters of the Homeless Person’s Bill of Rights and Fairness Act say it would establish needed protections from discrimination against the homeless. They point to a wave of “quality of life” and “anti-nuisance” ordinances enacted by cities and counties that criminalize sleeping, sitting and sharing food in public places.

The open theft act; we’ve going to grant carte blanche to anyone who can’t claim a house to yours, to use your business as their dining room table, their income, and their toilet. And you’d best like it, because of course, right in this legislation will be penalties for anyone who dares object to someone stealing from them, including the government.

Because the only way to have ‘fairness’ is to make some of the animals more equal than the others. So go ahead, spend your lifetime, your father’s lifetime, your grandfather’s lifetime building a business, and let us wreck it with the mere stroke of a pen.

Just disgusting how much these slime demand the privileges of micromanaging every aspect of life, including just how little rights you have as a taxpayer, and how much rights the leeches have to take it all away from you.

they will get very aggressive in their tactics if there are no repercussions. they could harass someone for blocks.

California in decline!
This is what happens when the state GOP goes center Left, they lose a governing majority to Leftwing Democrats.

“they will get very aggressive in their tactics if there are no repercussions. they could harass someone for blocks.”

Then it would be the perfect opportunity to help them utilize the free medical care that they’re entitled to.

Use a good tough cane or a baseball bat, just make sure they don’t know you.

“No, ma’am,” the officer said, “I cannot arrest the homeless man for taking a dump on your front steps. Now please leave him alone while he sleeps off his drunk on your lawn.”

California.

Nuff said.
