Squatters, enabled by Liberals, who then finally realize that they can't sell their homes and want those they've enabled to Move On.

Typical.

"I'm insulted and harassed just because I am different from them,"

Does that make me less of a caveman?

[Jaysun]

I thought this story was about actual car campers. I saw one on TV. It was small, pulled by a car, and looked neat. I really want one but I didn’t catch the name of it.

The homeowners were only too happy to hang out with strays, but get upset when the fleas become a problem. Go figure.

[SmithL]

This looks like another “Dog, meet your fleas” situation.

"We're a bunch of liberals here and everyone knows it," said Long, who has lived in his home for 10 years and realizes that people have lived in their vehicles on the street longer than he has been a homeowner there.

A publiKKK skewl teacher in Madison is a lib? Shocking!

[Fresh Wind]

If the van is rockin’, don’t come knockin’!

Somebody needs to tell them about the Walmart parking lot.

I think he puts it well at the end: those trying to survive aren’t the problem, it’s the ones who make it a ‘lifestyle choice,’ because it’s ‘hip’ or they want to drop out, not work, or just don’t give a crap, and their selfishness reflects in all areas of their behavior.

"Getting rid of car camping here doesn't solve anything," she said. "We have to figure out why people are homeless and work with them side by side to change that situation."

I'm sure her "solution" involves assloads of other people's money.

The homeless are deranged and they want to be homeless. Why can't the bleeding heart lib morons see the obvious?

Was it a Scamp?

His wife has regularly gone out to ask people to be quiet, he said.

Silly liberal. I'd send my friends Smith and Wesson out to enforce the peace.

[Disambiguator]

Matt Foley, motivational speaker.

bump for later

“Silly liberal. I’d send my friends Smith and Wesson out to enforce the peace.”

How wonderful it would be if Madison were sufficiently respectful of the Constitution that something like that would be possible...without being arrested. Most (not all) cops in Madison don’t do much besides writing tickets to suck money into government coffers, blocking off streets to accommodate liberal protest groups, and cleaning up the mess after someone gets assaulted or whacked. But if you want to see some real energetic police action just try exercising your 2nd Amendment rights in Madison.

The problem can be solved by giving them maps, to build the future for our children.

Somebody needs to tell them about the Walmart parking lot.

You mean they allow evil Wal-Marts in Madison? I'm shocked and appalled!
