It's not like people want to be homeless. Nobody, I repeat NOBODY does. Thinking that they need to be punished so they'll be motivated not to be homeless is the most messed up thing ever. I said move them. Away from the people they can harm by shitting in the street and causing general chaos. The punishment is to get them to move to a non residential area. There are tons of videos of addicts saying they prefer to be homeless, and also plenty that refuse shelter because they can't bring drugs. If the choice is burning down an animal shelter because addicts start a fire in the middle of an LA or moving them to an area they can't damage others, I'll take that.

Just outlaw heroin and people doing heroin will go away. No more needles. No more addicts. Same thing for all illegal drugs. Same thing for prostitution. Just outlaw it with stiff penalties and it is GONE. Same thing for speeding. Same thing for assault wea . . . . WAIT THAT IS NOT TRUE FOR GUNS! Completely different! Outlaw guns and only outlaws will have guns! Rather be judged by twelve than carried by six! Gun control is hitting your target! Loser libs want to outlaw everything because they hate freedom!

And once you do that, there'll DEFINITELY be no more homeless, right? /s There's a reason they "prefer" to be homeless. There's also a reason they do drugs - it's because every other alternative they have is worse. What you're suggesting is like jailing people for getting cancer. They didn't ask for it, getting cancer is punishment enough, and what you don't realise is what separates us from them is just sometimes...luck. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Right, but you either give people agency and responsibilities for their actions or they destroy everything around them. People on cancer don't steal catalytic converters, smoke meth on public transit and punch random people on the street. I've never seen a cancer patient try to masturbate on an old lady in public. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you think a standard gun owner is 3-4 times likely to commit a crime? Given the volume of gun owners relative to addicts what do you predict the murder rate to be of that were true? https://www.quora.com/Of-all-the-gun-crimes-committed-what-percentage-is-done-by-normal-law-abiding-citizens According to this concealed carry permit holders are 1/300 times as likely as a random person to commit a crime.

Well that and 27 payments via Venmo to pay teenagers including a 17 yo for sex. Perhaps they are not so much going to the kids soccer match than paying for sex with either hookers, porn stars, or teenagers. Perhaps Rome and Caligula wasn't so bad after all. "The Roman emperor from A.D. 37-41, Caligula was known for trying to expand the absolute power of the emperor, humiliate the Roman(American) Senate, spend the public Treasury down to oblivion, and promote an orgiastic culture of decadence in his court."

A downside is that this forum is unlikely to still be here by 2028 to see how this works out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
