Maybe you cope with the noxium of urine created amonia, the feces, the needles, the petty crime, and getting hassled and called a "fa**ot" for not having a $1 bill in San Jose, Oakland, SF, or LA but I cannot. All the well wishes are nice, and I would love love if the homeless could be put into unused office space or whatever pipedream is trendy at the time (and there have been a lot of pipedreams in my shortish life). But I want them gone, I want the worse-than-a-favela shantytowns, and I want the smell gone. I don't really give a shit how it's done so long as it isn't cruel or illegal.
So sick to death of all the magical thinking from other liberals in this state. We have the run the of the place and homeless is worse by 5 fold. And the Republicans are just practically begging for mass execution and deportation, as is their way.
I don't care anymore. Just go away.
You just want them gone, how uhh, how are you going to do that?
Duh, by gassing them or by firing squad!
How the fuck should I know? I just said idgaf how it's done, I just do.
Why can't I want homeless shit and piss and devastation out of my city while also have compassion for them as humans and help them? You people are so binary! You can do both.
Because the "fuck it I just want them gone" attitude is what's led to every high level human rights crime and mass murder we learn about in school.
If your problem is the smell, then let's put in latrines. Or, and I know this is a truly radical thought to American Capitalism, we can give them a place to live properly. Instead of forcing them to live like animals because the system refused to pay them enough to exist inside it properly.
