Trump orders homeless evictions in DC

[Mac-7]

Why are people in our government, like Trump ,always pushing their so-called religion and telling us it is good while the others are bad?

Do you have an example of trump invoking his religion with drug abuse and homelessness in DC?

 

[Frankenstein]

Do you want to help these Americans or just get them out of sight?

Why did you wait till now to ask?

 

[Mac-7]

That is easily added to Trumps plan

It should be

But not so easily

 

[Mac-7]

No fourth, eighth or fourteenth amendment rights?

You'd be surprised at the amount on the streets because they can't afford rent.

Camping and pooping on public streets is not a constitutional right

Vagrancy has always been against the law

 

[DigitalDrifter]

The real solution is to push out of the city limits?

Did you complain when Gavin Newsom in 2023 mobilized police to remove the homeless from San Francisco streets in advance of Xi Ping's visit?

Why?

Because the primary reason we have homeless people living on the streets is drug addiction and/or mental health issues

They need to be locked up and forced to confront their personal problems before real change takes place

Otherwise we are just playing Whack-a-Mole

You can't "evict" someone from a tent on a sidewalk, you remove them.

Do you want to help these Americans or just get them out of sight?

Like Newsom did in 2023?

Both

Involuntary drug rehab serves both goals

 

[Mac-7]

No fourth, eighth or fourteenth amendment rights?

You'd be surprised at the amount on the streets because they can't afford rent.

You’d be surprised at all the bad personal choices it takes for most homeless to be where they are

 

[Delldude]

The solution is obvious

Confine them to drug rehab centers or mental institutions

No fourth, eighth or fourteenth amendment rights?

You'd be surprised at the amount on the streets because they can't afford rent

Camping and pooping on public streets is not a constitutional right

Vagrancy has always been against the law

Allowing people to camp and poop on the streets is any worse?

Vagrancy laws have pretty much been revoked.

It wouldn't be the first unconstitutional thing you do because you feel like it.

Guess how well involuntary drug rehab works. Just guess.

That's part of the human experience.

 

[Mac-7]

Allowing people to camp and poop on the streets is any worse?

Most people think having homeless peeing and pooping outside a private business or harassing customers for handouts is not good

 

[Delldude]

Works for some. You're overlooking a critical component of addiction.

 

[Mac-7]

Vagrancy laws have pretty much been revoked.

And the result is tent cities in downtown business districts

The seem to be spending a lot of time on the Mall, K Sreet, (protecting the ”deep state”), and down amongst the new condos in Southeast, a favorite of Trump flunkies.

 

[Mac-7]

Easy access to the drug

Who needs civil rights.

What's a critical component?

 

[Mac-7]

What's a critical component?

There are no homeless living on the streets in my community.

Even the homeless have better taste? Just my guess, since you’re not even brave enough to say where that is!
