re: Would you support criminalizing homelessness?

There are homeless people everywhere
This homeless guy asked me for money the other day
I was about to give it to him and then
I thought he was going to use it on drugs or alcohol
And then I thought, thats what Im going to use it on
Why am I judging this poor bastard?
People love to judge homeless guys
Like if you give them money theyre just going to waste it
He's gonna waste the money
Well, he lives in a box, what do you want him to do?
Save it up and buy a wall unit
Take a little run to the store for a throw-rug and a CD rack
Hes homeless
I walked behind this guy the other day
A homeless guy asked him for money
He looks right at the homeless guy
"Why dont you go get a job you bum?"
People always say that to homeless guys
"Get a job" like it's always that easy
This homeless guy was wearing
His underwear outside his pants
Im guessing his resume isnt all up to date
Im predicting some problems during the interview process
Im pretty sure even McDonalds has an
Underwear goes inside the pants policy
Not that they enforce it very strictly,
But technically Im sure it is in the books

I would support a law or support the enforcement of a law that makes it illegal to panhandle at intersections and gas stations.
Also, I would also like to see a law that says if I'm pumping gas and a bum ask me for money and I tell him no, if he ask me a second time and I say no then starts to harass me, I have the right to shoot him in the face

How will the government treat the banks
in this alternate world of illegal homelessness?
Is homelessness a federal or state crime?
For every foreclosed home, a $1,000,000
fine leveled against the bank may help increase incentive to keep people in their home.
You can't just throw people in jail because of job loss, injury or other unfortunate circumstances.
If you lockup the homeless, the loan agent/banker should do time as well. They made a bad bet.
They put that family in a "criminal" position of "homelessness".
Deal with that.

Yes. We need more laws and people in jail.

among the reasons I moved from FL was all of the fricking rules, within the first six weeks of moving there, a local farmer was arrested for cutting a tree(member of the poison ivy family) down on his property

It's not the government's business to determine what's "safe" for citizens to use.

Someone should let the government know that.

So should it be legal for your neighbor to buy one of these and drive it around town every day?

I agree with this mindset. But that doesn't mean that a hardcore drug like heroin should be legal in the name of personal freedom.
I'll go back to the daughter argument. If heroin was as readily available as alcohol.. and your 14-15 year old daughter or son wanted to experiment and went and played "Hey mister" and scored some heroin, would you be ok with that? You don't have to answer. Of course you wouldn't.
And you probably wouldn't be ok with them scoring a 12 pack of beer either. But which would you be more ok with?
I can't believe I have to type this out.. but heroin is not on the same level as alcohol, cigarettes, and weed.

Traffic laws? I thought it was not the government's business to tell us what is and is not safe.
Look I'm a small government conservative, but there is a line between that and anarchy.

Most homeless people need to be institutionalized for addictions and mental disorders.

Shoot all the heroin you want but if you roll through this stop sign you're getting a ticket
