Welfare. There's the real problem.

My grandfather came here with NOTHING. He finished school, got a job, quit it to build a business, got drafted and sold said business, got an honorable discharge and built another business, then became 'disabled' (with respect to that business), sold it and built a business based on a skill/trade he could perform.

I forget at what point he became a citizen; my brother has Granpa's papers.

You never met a more patriotic American.

I read that during the American Revolution, less than 45% actually supported the war, and as many as 1/3 of the Colonists fought in favor of the British.

Probably would not take as many as one would think.

The worse it gets, the sooner that the insanity will end.

I believe this idea is very unwise. The collateral damages will be terrible.

The worse it gets, the worse it will continue to get. There is no real limit to insanity.

The bill, HB 3501, was sponsored by Democrat representative Farrah Chaichi and her colleague, representative Khanh Pham.
I see the problem. Foreigners are making American laws.

...an effective response from the people who are fed up with it.

There appears to be no effective response left that will be lawful or peaceful. "Elections" ?. Nope. Not going to change anything.

The political authorities still have control over the police forces and the terrorist auxiliary forces (ANTIFA). When they lose those controls, things will change - very quickly and very unpleasantly.

My grandmother and her family immigrated from Sicily in the early 1900’s. When she was a young mother, she worked for a nickel an hour in a sewing sweatshop.

She never took ANYTHING from the government except her SS THAT SHE EARNED which was much less than immigrants get.

I hope Trump discontinues this welfare bullish!t for illegals so they go back to their sh!thole countries.

When the parks & public spaces are filled with layabouts, they can simply create more by seizing private property via eminent domain.

Will the increased cost of county/city workers cleaning up the filth make them see reason?? Nah, just raise taxes, problem solved.

Third point:

Will these homeless parks morph into no-go zones?

In the end, the homeless will tell homeowners to vacate homes so that homeless will take over society. With future mass unemployment and mass homelessness(due to oil and gas industry destruction), the American dream is to be homeless.

Yep, It is the next step in this very real Communist take over. And it is going to spread to every corner like wildfire. They are giving the green light to take what you want from stores, businesses, and other persons. And if you resist the theft you will be punished for not giving up your stuff.

Don’t bet on it. America lives in a parallel world that lacks any common sense.

DemonRat-controlled Gov’ts federal, state and local are at WAR with law-abiding citizens. Obvious, isn’t it?

Yes, if they are permitted to grow past a critical mass.

And they will grow as long as the authorities want them to grow. Terrorizing adjacent middle-class neighborhoods is the whole point of the program. It keeps the "law-abiding citizens" clamoring for ever-stronger government powers to deal with the ongoing crisis.

More power is what the government officials crave. It is a stronger addition for them than any drug.

But you can absolutely bet that the homeless populations will be ruthlessly swept out of areas where the political authorities live. "Laws are for little people".

", It is the next step in this very real Communist take over. And it is going to spread to every corner like wildfire. They are giving the green light to take what you want from stores, businesses, and other persons. And if you resist the theft you will be punished for not giving up your stuff."

To clarify: The "They" in the above statement refers to Democrat politicians holding office in the state.

For anyone having trouble understanding what is happening:

A vote for a Democrat is a vote for a Communist.

Communism results in the destruction of your city, total loss of your rights, and you eventually not having anything.
(See: Portland; San Francisco, California)

It should also be noted that some Republicans (RINO's) are closet Communists and are actually accomplices to Democrat Communists.

(Funny, but I thought this sort of thing used to be called treason, but I guess times have changed.)

Is the Oregon State House a “public place”?
Are the sidewalks in front of the homes of Democrat representative Farrah Chaichi and her colleague, representative Khanh Pham public places?

A “friend” of mine would like to some nice big boxes and bus tickets to a select group of campers.
