Two protestors are arrested as LA City Council meeting banning homeless encampments within 500-feet of schools erupts into chaos as chamber is stormed

Two people were arrested and three officers injured in a protest that erupted as the Los Angeles City Council approved a ban on homeless encampments within 500 feet of schools and daycare centers.

The 11-3 final vote on Tuesday, which applies to public and private schools, came after the meeting was recessed due to dozens of protesters shouting their opposition while police cleared the council chamber.

The standoff with officers was triggered after one woman began cursing at the council and suddenly stepped past the benches towards the city leaders, causing officers to immediately intervene as demonstrators yelled at them.

While police tried to arrest the unidentified woman, officials said members of the crowd surrounded the cops, with activist Ricci Sergienko directly interfering and allowing the woman to temporarily get away.

During the incident, one sergeant and two Security Service Division officers who were responsible for public safety of City Hall were injured.

The incident comes a week after a similar protest interrupted the initial vote of the bill, which must be signed by LA Mayor Eric Garcetti before it takes effect.

1) Children play in parks
2) Ban homeless camps from parks and anywhere within 1000 ft of any park
3) Sprinkle "pocket parks" around the city so that no spot in the city is more than 1000 ft from a park
4) It is now illegal to be homeless/vagrant in your city

When will they grow a large enough pair to ban homeless “encampments” altogether?

Yes I’ve seen that video and it’s a nightmare. Kids should not have to walk by that. Most are junkies but you have to wonder how many are homeless sex offenders.

They were protesting FOR homeless camps near schools?

That's how I read it. The number of totally unhinged people in this country is staggering and frightening. I think everyone who lives near a "homeless"* encampment should have one of these

*Gotta love that word homeless = bums drunks junkies and other criminals.

It should be noted that there are a lot of sex offenders living in homeless camps. It is kinda hard for many of them to find employment or accommodations. Would you let your 30-50 year old sex offender brother or son live with you? So I like the idea of a law that keeps them away from kids. That’s just me.

They are not homeless encampments they are drug and theft encampments who receive $660.00 a month from the state.

People wonder why stoner states are a magnet for losers and slackers.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
