and the idea of JAIL . Candy is correct I think if I read her right . What difference does jail make to a homeless guy . What will happen to him if he can't pay fines . I heard about one homeless guy that threatened to PEACEFULLY Rob a bank with a note then sat down to wait for the Police to scoop him up . So , if I read you correct then I agree with you Candy .
No. I disagree. There are many options. Yes, there are a few, very few, who nothing will help them. And that's just how that is.
But the vast majority of beggars on the streets, have stuff to lose. You can confiscate their tents, their clothes, their belongings, and have it sold to pay their fines.
And honestly, I still believe the majority of beggars are not 'poor'. We call them homeless, because they say they are homeless, and feign being homeless... but most are making good money being beggars. Again, there was a guy who was collecting $100,000 a year, being a beggar. That may seem impossible, but the reality is, if 27 people throughout a day, give you $10 bucks, you can make $100,000 a year.
Here in Columbus Ohio, we had TV reporters following well known beggars, and they would walk 15 blocks, and climb into a car, and then drive to a house. Happens all the time.
Now in San Fransico, you do have people who are living their lives in tents, but that's because the left-wing government in that area has made having a home nearly impossible. The solution there, is to get rid of the left-wingers. Remove all the regulations on building. Eliminate the high taxes. I guarantee that housing prices will fall, and affordable housing will increase.
Then you have the druggies. The solution there is kill the drug dealers, and force all the drug users into rehab. That's the solution. Kill the drug dealers, each and every single one of them. Put them on trial, if convicted, give them 12 months to appeal, and then put a 22 between their eyes, and send them to their eternal reward.
With the druggies, you put them in rehab. Have them go through withdraw. Have them suffer for a month. Then release. Tell them up front, if you don't like that, don't get caught on drugs again. And when they are, you throw them right back in rehab, and have them suffer withdraw again. And you do this over and over until they either learn, or die. They will either get off the drugs, or die. Either one solves the problem. At some point, even a dog can be trained.
Lastly, you have people with real mental problems. Each state, should deal with those people, as they see fit. I personally would prefer having state-private charity partnerships, that deal with them. But it's up to each state to deal with those with mental issues.
