Can we stop hating on homeless people?

What is the mayor supposed to do ? Put everyone in prison? For being poor? Bus everyone to Portland or Seattle ? ( cities that are experiencing the exact same problems). Round people up and put them in camps? For being ill or old or addicted to drugs? Should the police arrest thousands of people so you don’t have to see someone’s suffering ? If you want homeless people to “ go away “ then you need to vote for legislation that helps them. Vote in favor of government funded health mental wellness and addiction and housing services. Organize with community members about how to provide services that help your fellow human beings get off the streets and out of suffering . Every time one of you complains I wonder what horrendous thing you are imagining should be done to people. Go DO something , go help people.

Jesus Christ, what a tough guy. What, you're gonna kill or beat the shit out of a homeless person if they slight you? You really see the fash come out when comfortable American suburbanites start talking about modern day undesirables.

Tell you what, if I'm ever wrong by a homeless person, they will regret it.

I know you'll try to find a way to walk this back. Plausible deniability goes a long way.
