Would these people rather homeless people break into places and sleeping inside? This seems like the only plausible alternative.
Of course they would. Homeless people aren’t criminals and they can’t make being homeless a crime, per se, so they just do as much as they can to drive them towards crimes. It’ll be safer to avoid being caught if they break in and can be hidden but if they do get caught it’ll be horrendous. They’ll put them in slave camps-I’m sorry, “jails” and away we go.
It is the most heinous shit imaginable and these broken monsters get off to it.
Watch closely as they make providing shelter illegal as well (just like they made providing food illegal). The cruelty is the point.
That’s right homeless, you can’t sleep here. Just go home already.
Sounds like a great idea.
Of course, if it’s a crime to be homeless, it’s also a crime to force or coerce someone into commiting that crime.
I look forward to the officials and landlords responsible to be jailed for each crime they helped commit.
“No, not like that!”
As if we don’t know how this Court will decide.

I will say I’m somewhat optimistic about this case. Yes the current supreme court has a heavy partisan lean, but I’ve seen some decisions from the court which my pessimistic side didn’t expect to go the way they did.
I know this guy who goes to the New York state courthouse everyday to sleep. He doesn’t even try to hide. He does it in an occupied court room during a trial, on tax-paid furniture.
And the dude smells like SHIT.

good, the judge deserves to smell some consequence.
“Let them sleep inside”. paraphrasing Marie Antoinette. smh.
Where do we put them if every city, every village, every town lacks compassion and passes a law identical to this
This is why there needs to be a national effort around this, rather than this patchwork approach which often just (expensively&wastefully) moves the problem around without solving it.
we may have to start making excuses for the lack of terror
So, they won’t help them and won’t let them be on the streets? Man, homeless folks need to learn to levitate then, so they can sleep in the air instead.
How’s that old quote go again? “The law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal bread.”
I slept in this town once when I was temporarily homeless. I was lucky enough to not be harassed by cops. Letting people sleep in public spaces doesn’t harm anyone except landlords, the housing market, and the hotel/airbnb industry. How the fuck is an unemployed unhoused person supposed to eventually afford rent if they’re fined for existing outside?
Have you considered the goal is to exterminate undesirables?
This is probably the most prescient episode of Star Trek ever: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Past_Tense_(Star_Trek%3A_Deep_Space_Nine)
Basically Sisko and friends go back in time to America in 2024, where it’s illegal to be homeless and they get put in an open air prison.
This seems like a no-brainer to me… though it probably isn’t. Obviously you have a constitutional right to sleep, wherever you can make space for yourself. If these cities and downs don’t want people sleeping outside, they need to provide indoor space for people who haven’t actually committed crimes. We treat our criminals better than we treat our homeless.
fuck their laws, I think, is the ruling here. just fuck them completely. we do not have a society. your conscience is the only guide.
Something something, sanctuary districts, something something, Bell Riots. Almost on schedule. WW3 next, then first contact.
Unfortunately, due to a budget restriction, first contact has been canceled. Please accept our apology in the form of nuclear winter.
