that s the issue. it is about housing, mental health care and basic human caring. black lives matter and homeless lives matter. every time you start dehumanizing people, you set up the ability to take away their rights. engage in violence and basically say they re less than human and they don t deserve basic rights. more and more cities are trying to criminalize homeless. a study of 187 american cities showed 34% ban camping in public. 43% ban sleeping in vehicles. 53% ban sitting, lying down in certain public places. 9% ban sharing food with homeless. how can this problem be helped if the homeless are legally being targeted? we have a funny way of defining dependency. as you know, scott walker said over and over again.
