Or, we could do it locally. We can provide facilities that will take in mentally ill homeless persons, medicate them and keep them in a structured environment in which they are no longer a threat to themselves or others. No, wait, we used to have those. They were called mental health facilities, and we stopped doing that because homeless advocates decided that they had a right to be on the streets.
Ultimately, we have to choose whether we see the homeless as persons who are unable to cope with the demands of living, or persons who choose not to. If it's a choice, then we owe them nothing but a strict interpretation of the vagrancy laws, but if it's an inability to function, then we need to treat them, but that means recognizing that they are not competent. What we cannot have is a system that presumes their incompetence when it comes to feeding, clothing and housing them, but presumes that they are competent when it comes to decisions about taking their medications, voting or assuming what we used to think of as adult responsibilities.--Odysseus

Before you can do things for people, you must be the kind of man who can get things done. But to get things done, you must love the doing, not the people!

A lot of the "homeless" here in Sarasota are simply scumy bums.
And they have been given the Green Light to bother people by the Libtard City Council
which has told the cops to let them be. Pathetic.May the FORCE be with you!
