    This is ridiculous. If I lose my job, can’t pay my bills, lose my home, and there’s no room in a shelter, what the hell am I supposed to do? I get that it’s a problem for cities, including mine, to have homeless encampments, but there has to be a relief valve in the system. You have to give people some option for living that isn’t illegal.

    Such a fucked up court.

      In a conservative’s mind, you already had your chance to stay off the street and failed.

      They are literally and directly heartless monsters that do not believe in second chances or hard times. They literally assume god is punishing you if you’re on hard times.

      They are quite literally heartless monsters that want people to be punished for failing to succeed in a rigged system.
