Just the usual hate of the sick, poor, disabled and seniors. They're always looking for an excuse to torture and kill people.

The powerful, with weak minds, no heart or soul, pick on the homeless.

How very brave of you, worthless arse holes.

vtpeach.bsky.social•12 days ago

They’re homeless & penniless. Where TF do you expect them to go? Especially since there’s little to no support provided to them, & what does exist is cut to the bone. So-called christians.

IMO you can count the number of actual followers of the teachings of Christ living in this country on your fingers.

thepenguinsays.bsky.social•12 days ago

I’m not even sure it would take both hands

Good point!

Where are the mid-west Christian values in Indiana?!

So, right after Church lawmakers got together and said, "Hey, I've got a really great idea. Let's punish the poor!" Then they all high-fived and went golfing.

Although I'm not a Christian I grew up among them and several have played important roles in my life. I am constantly amazed at how so many of them today seem to have no knowledge of Christ's teachings and philosophy and are so against the people he supported. IDK. Getting old, I guess.

big0s.bsky.social•12 days ago

I grew up in Christian tradition.

There is a terrible disconnect between the characteristics of Jesus, a compassionate socialist, and the characteristics of Christian extremists: racist, self-serving and ruthless profiteers.

Just bring back the debtors’ prisons already. You know you want to. Then you can have a new source of exploitable labor.

jacqualine115.bsky.social•12 days ago

I keep saying that we are living in a modern Dickensian period, with Work Houses, Poor Houses and Debtor's prisons coming.

feliciahart.bsky.social•12 days ago

Cruelty being the point doesn't make these laws less stupid.

saviorselfalready.bsky.social•12 days ago

Thereby creating more slave labor for the prisons.

👍

Bringing back the police state. Cheap labor for companies to exploit.

SCOTUS already said this is A-OK. Grants Pass, Oregon. Illegal for homeless people to be on public lands,despite lack of shelters.

either you die or become an institutional slave for the state if you get too poor in america

burningfeet.bsky.social•12 days ago

Make it a crime to be poor? Already been tried, with admirable results, eh Mr. Scrooge?

scooptown.bsky.social•11 days ago

Sir, that is STATE SPONSORED DOMESTIC TERRORISM.

It is illegal to infringe upon the unalienable right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Since it illegal AND
(A) involve acts dangerous to human life
(B) appear to be intended—
(i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population

claudiamw.bsky.social•12 days ago

If not on public property, where are they supposed to sleep? Certainly not on PRIVATE property!

Another attempt to legislate homelessness out of existence, no doubt led by out-loud ChINOs.* Add it to the other dumb, piecemeal efforts that do nothing to solve the problem.

* CHristian In Name Only

INDIANA….

Have you fucking idiots ever heard,
YOU CAN’T SQUEEZE BLOOD FROM A TURNIP?????

these folks have NOTHING
So what are you looking to GAIN?

tinycurious.bsky.social•12 days ago

2 little kids froze to death in detroit due to being homeless.
2 & 9 yrs of age. They were living in a van along the mother & other siblings.
Where was family services?
Goes to show people are terrified to seek help or warming centers.

WHY???
Complete system fail for those poor angles.😭

jimj.bsky.social•12 days ago

But if I have a home to go to and just choose to doze off in a public place, it's all good? What other bodily function will we punish the homeless for next? Can't these resources be used to put them in housing?

hermitage10ac.bsky.social•12 days ago

Yes indeed. Republicans love our Veterans.

cktcrow.bsky.social•12 days ago

Sick.
Cruel.
You can judge a society by the way it treats the vunerable.
It's a felony to camp on public property in FU TN...
It's also against the law to vote if you are a felon in TN.
