Mentally ill? Hey, being homeless will MAKE you mentally ill! It’s called PTSD, stupid! Ever been evicted? It’s like having a fire with no insurance!

The current defense budget is somewhere around $700 billion. Just allocate 5 billion and we can solve this 500,000 homeless nationwide blot on our escutcheon under control.

HOUSING FIRST! THEN work on the issues that brought them to the state they’re in!

My God, how flint hearted and ignorant are some of these comments! And I’ll bet they come from “Good Christians” too!

Matthew 35-40:

“For I was hungry and you gave Me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave Me something to drink, I was a stranger and you took Me in, I was naked and you clothed Me, I was sick and you looked after Me, I was in prison and you visited Me.’

“Then the righteous will answer Him, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You something to drink? When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? When did we see You sick or in prison and visit You?’

“And the King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of Mine, you did unto Me.’

I’d like to comment on corruption by the California Attorney General’s failure to investigate a formal 75 page complaint on the LAPD Crime-buster Vigilante Facebook scandal matter. This is a serious matter as the Los Angeles criminal justice system skews when it comes to fair justice for all as LA homeless are attacked by LAPD supported vigilantes, then arrested and jailed if the try to fight back in self- defense. Now there is proof of “jury trial rigging “by LA Prosecutor and LAPD Slo for Topanga. Both are members of the secret vigilante Facebook group, and 2 other Vigilante group members as witnesses for a bogus littering trial where Van Nuys Judge Harmond seems to play along by issuing an extreme sentence. LAPD command now spreads disinformation saying LAPD members only posted insults to homeless when the truth is LAPD supplied tracking and other info to vigilante members. The info was used to do violent crimes and community terror stalking onto targeted homeless victims. A homeless advocate and activist for LA political reform was harassed then convicted and incarcerated for months when he was attacked on 12/29/16 in Van Nuys by the same LAPD crew. False police reports were used and judge Mulcahy Van Nuys court prevented the mentioning of vigilante abuse at trial. This happened to Ed Ryan edryan221@gmail.com who had to flee LA after release because of more vigilante harassment by LAPD connected crews. Ryan’s jaw was smashed by a vigilante attacker wielding a hammer and LAPD refuse to take his complaint and investigate. Ryan now lives in Mass as LA Court court issued a probation violation warrant to further silence him. LA superior Court Presiding Judge, Kevin Brazile has so far ignored Ryan’s comprehensive complaint. Ryan challenges reporters to read the 8/1/18 complaint to Atty Gen Becerra that has plenty of screen shots of captured vigilante and LAPD postings to surely warrant the Cal AG to investigate, but he remains silent on the issue. Also remaining totally silent on this atre LA Mayor Garcetti I’d like to discuss Corruption in Los Angeles as the LAPD Crime-buster vigilante Scandal is being ignored and all LA city Councilors. LA City Atty Furey also is silent even though his long time Deputy Karin Philips is involved and is being reported to Cal BBO flor ethical violations of not disclosing vigilante group membership by entire prosecution team in People v Kevin Perelman , the van Nuys Superior Court jury trial in front of LA Superior Court Harmond that was rigged Atty Philips and LAPD SLO Dines

Your suggestion sounds like a plan. Meantime, politicians and wannabes are holding pow-wows at our expense to ask the all-important question to which we ALREADY know the answer:

What are the causes of homelessness and what can we do about it?

Progressives think Tough Love is mean-spirited and hateful, but Enabling anti-social behavior is kind and loving. They say that it takes about 50 contacts with a homeless person before they MIGHT decide to take you up on your offer of assistance getting off the streets.

It is an election year issue. But, I think the tide is turning against the Housing First model in favor of adopting a Screen First, Housing Second model. Also, some cities offer jobs & low-cost housing to sober homeless who will work for wages cleaning the streets until they find a better job–and it is a great success. Not all homeless will go for it, but it is a godsend to those who want to get their lives together.

Keep hammering away!

The ONLY solution to the homeless crisis is old-school TOUGH LOVE. This means REMOVAL BY FORCE! Then triage: yes, there will be CAMPS with shelter, food, showers, medical care. The drug-addicted and mentally ill will be institutionalized, evaluated and cared for. The simply down on their luck will be found employment and a place to live. IT CAN BE DONE.

Newsom’s “eighth arrest” in a twelve-month period threshold surprised me. It would be difficult to meet that requirement unless someone is really making a career of being a serious public nuisance. They do belong in supervised, secure environments because they are not capable of taking care of themselves in their present circumstances. Maybe under any circumstances.

As for the Due Process protections, I am all for making sure they are constitutional and clear. But, nobody has a constitutional right to violate the rights of others, including the right to be secure in their homes and property, or to come and go in safety, or to defend themselves from those who threaten their lives, liberty and property.

We should not be making it easy for people to live in the streets. That is how we got into this mess.

Governor Nuisance will make them swabbies in Queeg’s navy!

Slippereeee Slope to Soylent Green!
