In a Supreme Court showdown Monday over whether the homeless have a "right" to camp in public, almost no one mentioned the actual victims of that crazy idea. Homeless advocates, including the American Civil Liberties Union, told the court that living on the streets is a "victimless" crime. Victimless?
Everyone who has to step over needles and human poop and navigate around half-conscious humans while walking to work or taking their kids to school is a victim.
Every store owner whose entrance is blocked by makeshift cardboard shelters is a victim.

Dude. Check your peepers. Read what I wrote. Not what you think I wrote.
There weren’t no illegal aliens Going To California in the 1930s.
So we’ll try one more time.
California State Patrol. Border. Not allowing American citizens to enter the state itself, without proof of means of support, or a job, or property.
I can explain all this to you Jim, but I can’t make you understand it. Take your time, everybody learns at their pace. Good Luck!
Its OK. You changed the subject from homelessness to border control.
Just move on.
I have never been a big government guy but it’s time the fed do something about the cost of rent and home prices. A home should never have a monthly cost higher than 30 percent of the local community average household income and companies should not be allowed to purchase large numbers of homes and run rental prices up.
Our nice little town on the San Francisco Peninsula has a craft fair on State Street today. We just stopped to get an ice cream at the Baskin Robbins and came out to an insane woman screaming at everybody, waving her arms and mildly threatening all the people. She is a real mental case and needs to be in a hospital. I called the cops and the dispatcher told me others had called, but she used the old liberal line “There’s nothing we can do unless she’s threatening to kill people or kill herself.” I didn’t record her lunatic gibberish, but it sure sounded threatening; people were scared and moving away from her. What a standard — you have to threaten to kill others or yourself before the cops can do anything. At least they did dispatch cops to talk to her.
It’s so nice that we are liberal and tolerant of utterly insane people ruining our town.
Maybe if can end the “right” of bums to sleep wherever they want and totally ruin our public spaces we can next end the “right” of insane people to ruin our towns.
The King did try to disarm the colonists.
Wish we had a real political party instead of the Uniparty, that would actually highlight this point with the democrats.
This is actually a case where it looks like SCOTUS will undo a bad policy adopted by the Ninth Circuit Cout of Appeals. See, FTA:
“Grants Pass lawyers explain that the 9th Circuit has “erected a judicial roadblock” affecting virtually every municipality in the West, preventing them from clearing encampments. The results are “crime, fires, the reemergence of medieval diseases, environmental harm, and record levels of drug overdoses, and deaths on public streets.”
“Phoenix city officials, in a friend-of-the-court brief, complain that 9th Circuit judges are acting like “homeless policy czars,” usurping what local governments should decide. Justice Brett Kavanaugh echoed that, warning against having “federal courts micromanaging” homeless policy.”
Good. We have some good Justices on the Court these days so let’s hope for the best.
