They don’t want to be rounded up. Can’t feed their addictions in a government camp.

So NOW...they are “rushing”

Seems to me they should have done this long ago. I’m sure they will blame Trump, it’s what they do.

“And churches and leftist groups enable them”

Exactly right.

I’m sure the number of homeless has grown since they started encouraging it.

Won’t be surprising to me if California intended to do that just for that reason.

NOW they are concerned that homeless are a vector for disease.

We live amongst dumb bastards.

Agreed re the brain damage.

I walk by these human zombies often and interact with them occasionally. It is so depressing.

I often wonder how many had mental issues and then turned to drugs... and how many just enjoyed drugs until brain damage set in...

I guess it’s impossible to know. You can’t believe what they say even if they told you.

After decades of inaction, they are now “rushing”. That’s priceless.

Maybe the homeless are like the wino in the movie “ Andromeda Strain “ and are immune.

We’ve known for how long now and the most compassionate people in the world are just now starting to think about their overwhelming number of homeless..

Will be impossible to prove because they are so naturally stupid anyways - unless Project Veritas happened to be around.

California has been “dealing” with the homeless since 1983, easily! Those were the days that grocers were told to pour ammonia or bleach on all the old produce that went into the dumpster. I saw this done, by the Stater Bros. market in Rialto, Ca. across my backyard. It was here I saw homeless people go dumpster diving, while trying to keep my Dobermans calm.
