re: BRPD taking a stand against proposal to criminalize homeless camps

Make it illegal to give bums money. Ticket the motherfrickers giving them money. No money…. No fricking bums.

What is Sid/EBRSO saying about it?

Same thing.

1. EBR Parish Prison is not taking non-violent criminals at this time.

2. You can't write a misdemeanor summons without ID/address. If they don't have an ID or an address, they have to be booked, except... See #1

Throw them in the Mississippi.

Next question.

You have to really screw up to see the inside of Parish Prison nowadays.

Run them off every time they see them panhandling. If they cant make money then they will go somewhere else where they are allowed to make money. Simple solution.


People need to stop giving them money. They will leave if everyone stops.

Why is BRPD involved in a political debate? Enforce the law, that is your job. Baton Rouge is becoming a safe destination for traveling homeless, most of whom are pushed from other areas and are addicts and/or psychotic. We have to draw the line and keep this element out of Baton Rouge.

I hope they set up shop near you. Maybe you'd have a different opinion then. While I do agree that they shouldn't necessarily be put in jail, the fact that the BRPD is using such chicken shite excuses and offering no other helpful suggestions kinda backups up the idea that they're installed to basically collapse BR. (See murder numbers and crime rates since Paul was installed.)

I meant in no way is writing them a ticket or trying to put them in jail going to fix anything
Moving them from spot to spot really won’t do anything either, there are far too many of them
It is 100% a problem & one of the main reasons Broome & the metro council haven’t come up with a solution is because they haven’t figured out a way to grift from one yet

I would love for them to be rounded up & bussed off somewhere far away

You can’t put them in jail, you can’t put them in rehab, you can’t take away their stuff because it will cause more theft

I would like to know how many EMS calls go out for homeless OD’s

the San Francisco plan

Catch 22 for the donut eaters.
Using limited resources to solve a problem which they really cannot solve.

They could fine them which is worthless.

They can put them in jail for a few hours and they will be back.

I thought we voted for a tax to increase the size of a facility to help people with mental disorders.

They could use some of the library tax money, COA money, etc to have a facility that helps these people.
Still some will refuse help.

Old days we just shipped them over to the next city which is an option.

Seems you’ve got a problem with bums, vagrants, junkies.

Bottom feeders lurking around every overpass and intersection with their poor me signs and zombie eyes.

Oh, and the cops say they can’t do nothing. Can’t arrest em, can’t beat ‘em, can’t drive em out. Because they can’t squeeze coin out of em like you or me.

No, they only prey upon the people, only pollute our waters.

See, our waters have become comfortable…welcoming even. And they are multiplying.

Cops won’t do a thing. Government won’t do a thing. Seems the burden falls upon the willing.

I’ll tell you how you drive them out. First you watch them, where they wander, where they feed. You find their nests and burn them out. Turn their dens to ash and dust.


Then when you see them polluting the corners and ramps, you stop staying silent. Chase them off. Send them scurrying. Let them know they will not be tolerated any longer.

Jackals grow confident when lions sleep.

So wake some damn lions.
