It shouldn't surprise me that "send them to concentration camps" is somehow on the table of options at this point in our history. Disgusting.
You can't send people to extra-judicial camps in a foreign country for minor but disgusting infractions like "public urination" and "illegal camping." If somebody craps their pants in your neighborhood and falls asleep in the bushes, that is gross. But they don't deserve to be sent to El Salvadorian prison for life.
We need real solutions, not the ideas of middle school boys or Nazis who say, "Jus' kill 'em."
p.s. The "there is nothing you can take from them" comment is spot on. You can't fine them $ or tow their car or embarrass them with social stigma. They have nothing.
They have broken the law - what’s your problem with jailing them? It’s cheaper in El Salvador and mutually beneficial - we pay less and they receive more.
Its all about drugs, talk to them they are all addicts
100%. All street homeless are either schizo (or other mental illness) or drug addicted. A normal person down on their luck can sleep on friends’ or family’s couch.
The big one for me is the littering. Basically their day to day jobs are scouring dumpsters, private trash bins or even peoples property looking for things to build camps with. They build the camps on sidewalks, parks, public spaces, the city comes and tells them to move on and they literally do just that - up and off, crap everywhere - thanks mom and dad for cleaning up after me. Repeat cycle.
I've ofter wondered about going to a city council meeting with a bag of trash, setting up a little stall in a corner and then just walking off. I mean what's the difference?
Of course the real answer to this is guilt and shame. You have people in positions of power that know they have let down these people. They are making high six figure incomes doing f-all while people are living under piles of garbage on sidewalks. So it's much easier to just let them do what they want and convince yourself this is some kind of good samaritan, altruistic act of goodness you are contributing to and if it's not your property that directly suffers, you're fine with that.
Woke / progressive Democrats think that violent criminals and homeless are victims so they should be able to do whatever they want.
The difference? Less rape and brutality in an American subway station than in a foreign prison populated with hardcore gangsters and sociopaths in uniforms.
About 10-15% of homeless are addicted. Another 10-15% are mentally ill. The majority are people that have fallen on very hard times due to a lack of skills, no local living wage jobs, divorce, priced out of rental housing, or dropped by the VA.
Many of you are a month or two of missed paychecks from the same fate. Remember that as the current President craters the economy and decimates your 401K.
I suppose there is a distinction I should have made in my original post between homeless and street homeless. The latter is really what I'm talking about.
Most homeless people are transiently homeless. They come on hard times and end up without a permanent address for a period of time. They generally do not end up on the street, and instead couch surf with friends or family for a bit. Their episodes of homelessness are usually short.
Street homeless are the ones who have burned bridges and exhausted/refused resources to the point where they actually end up without a roof over their head. These people are usually long-term homeless and are not getting back on their feet for the most part.
I suspect your numbers aren't specific to the street homeless. For the "hard times" people who sleep on a friend's couch for a few weeks while they look for work, more power to them. They aren't the ones shouting at strangers and leaving garbage all over the street. The street homeless for the most part are beyond any hope of becoming productive and are not just looking for a living wage job.
For you jail would be a punishment. For a homeless person jail is like going to a resort. They get better food and better accommodations the they normally do and they get to socialize with like minded people.
Exempt from laws like the January 6th insurrectionists are exempt from the laws they violated thanks to Dimwit Don granting them pardons for their crimes?
The law breaking starts at the top these days, partner, and theirs quite a lot of it going down. Word.

Laziness is up there too for these barely alive holograms.
I have been saying this for years. Just round them up and dump them in El Salvador, or Afghanistan or whatever garbage country you can think of.
Upset that homeless people are breaking the law so I'm going to advocate for a solution that's against the law.
What law? Libs are always trying to appeal the some mythical international law that the U.S. is obligated to follow. Real life does not work like high school model UN. We have the nuclear bombs, two massive oceans, an un invadible continent, and the most powerful military in the history of the world. The law is whatever we say it is at that moment. If the ICC, UN, EU, WEE or any other globalist cabal has a problem with that they can talk to our nuclear submarines and aircraft carriers.

I'm convinced that 80 years from now in Nursing homes libs who have forgotten their families names and faces will still be talking about January 6th.

Yeah, that's right.
Hey, get a load of this guy, just one of the about 1,500 people pardoned by Don the Con:

One shouldn't be arrested for peeing in public, just for aggressive and/or sexually predatory displays of urination in public
I’d say peeing any place pets can pee shouldn’t be illegal for humans. It’s not like people are dying to do it, but if you are, you shouldn’t be forced to hold it in.
If I walked downtown in broad daylight and proceeded to whip it out and pee in an alley and then shout like a crazy person at people dining outside, I would (rightfully) be arrested and taken to jail within about 5 minutes. Likewise if I laid across the sidewalk blocking everyone's path and made threatening comments to passers by. Yet I see these same behaviors every day from the homeless, and the cops do nothing.
Why the double standard?
Wow.
The homeless are the privileged people in America?
Not the billionaires
For once I agree with Newname.
Homeless people have to pee. They do not have homes (hence the name) with accompanying toilets to use. So they pee where they can.
