We have all seen the encampments around town. Most of these people are simply broke, victims of violence or mentally/physically unwell. Many children live in these circumstances as well. I myself have been fighting SSDA for six years.
Government’s reaction is to clear them out and destroy their few belongings: shelter, food, clothing, etc.. They need help and hope and respect for being human beings, just like the rest of us. How would you and your innocent children survive extreme heat 24 hours a day?
So my question is why don’t you just kill them? Instead of torturing them and stripping away their dignity? Sheesh. Think of the taxpayer money saved so it can fund current political shenanigans. No more blight on society.
America, with all of its wealth, should be able to afford its citizens basic needs and assist them in their times of dignity. Shame on us!
