Disgusting

Keep raising this! Thank you @propublica.org
and maybe we can talk more about broader civil forfeiture problems. This is local governance at the first line of defense against federalized autocracy. Start local.

Island of Oahu has approximately
5,000 houseless. From Waikiki to Waianae coast. The C&C dump trucks round up their belongings, and they chuck most of it. A lot of families work, but can't afford rent/electricity. School buses stop at beach parks,so children can go to school.It's heartbreaking💔

This is a very complex problem that is exacerbated by the respect for individual rights.
It's very sad and not really fair to expect normalcy

They throw them into bog-standard garbage trucks and laugh while putting up the notices of where to find your meds, DL, etc

Last time this happened near me they pulled that particular garbage truck onto the grass, then blamed the (3-tent) encampment for damaging it

These important stories have been getting suppressed on Musk's Twitter in favor of culture war nonsense about wokeness, so I'm hoping this gets more eyes on here.

Isn’t theft of a homeless person’s belongings still theft?

Wanted to let you know that I hit repost twice and twice it kicked me off the site.

Wtf

Sorry I didn’t make it back to clarify. The third time worked. But it was interesting and I thought you would like to know that.

Why can’t we all get together and solve this problem? Maybe provide campers and let them be housed? American land is so large, yet people can’t just “live” in a certain space like other countries.

Like they need things to be harder.

What kind of person could condone something like this? We are living in the world with monsters. They aren't hiding under the bed anymore.

We should be housing the homeless instead of going after illegals.

Disgraceful
