Police In Riot Gear Arrest Homeless Protesters For Camping In Front Of City HallBy John Vibes This Friday, police invaded the encampment in riot gear and made several arrests. Its unfortunate that they wasted a lot of taxpayers money riot gear, overtime, protest organizer James Clark said. Theyre telling people they cant have sleeping bags to keep themselves warm, he added. Traci Trapani of the Sacramento Police Department said that protesters were arrested for illegal camping and resisting arrest. It wasnt a quick just arresting people type of thing. Its been percolating for weeks, she said. The protesters were accused of having camping paraphernalia such as blankets and tents. The police had warned the protesters that they would be arrested if they did not move, but they stood firm and refused to leave. In many places across the country, it is becoming increasingly illegal to be homeless. Legislators do not come right out and ban homelessness, but instead, they ban people from camping in urban areas, or make it illegal to feed peoplewithout a permit. Representatives from the city government have stated throughout the protest that they have no intention of changing or repealing the laws against urban camping.

In 1932, veterans of the WWI were camped there, demanding the bonus they had been promised to enlist, a bonus they had not, and would never receive. President Hoover sent infantry, cavalry, and even tanks against ragged, hungry veterans and their wives and children, led by General Douglas MacArthur. They chased the Vets and families out at bayonet-point, burning down their tents, wounding and even killing in the process Google Bonus Army Its called war on the people and the sad part is the people do not even fight. Capitalism eventually devours its own. That would be socialism, communism, fascism, marxism, Islamism and hedonism. LMAO ROTF Clearly the people in this video looked to be physically and mentally able to take care of themselves, aquire their own housing/shelter. They look able to work. They evidently choose not to, and they canits America, where we have forced income redistribution. Where gov thugs take part of a struggling single moms waitressing check and give it to grown men, who can, but who refuse to work. Oh yeah, and it goes partly to supply their taxpayer funded welfare phones. Funny how that works. Why do you need a phone if you choose to have no job, no home, no bills or responsibilities? My biggest question is how do these guys deserve free stuff when they can, but defiantly refuse to take care of themselves? America has turned into a country that punishes those who responsibly do what theyre supposed to do, and rewards the bad behavior of those who are perfectly able, but refuse to. They evidently chose not to Why would that be? Because its more fun to be homeless, hungry, and treated like crap by society? The only people showing bad behavior here are the unfeeling city officials and anyone who supports their position. Youre just regurgitating liberal propaganda. Your a liar and you know it. These people are in my city and every city in the US. Some are permanent home bums and some are traveling through. A large portion of them are NOT grateful for the charity they get. They often get caught on security video taking a bowel movement or urination in business doorways and other public places. They get mad if you dont give them some money and curse you, accost you, some even threaten you. If being homeless was so hard, so many wouldnt CHOOSE it. They dont have to be homeless. America has more government assistance programs than any other country on the face of this planet. These people can go stand on a street corner or median in most cities and make three hundred dollars a day. They dont have a home, not looking for a job but by golly our taxes pay for them to have a phone! Its ludicrous. If liberals had common decency and common sense, we wouldnt have half the problems we have now. Obviously you dont know how hard it is to get un-homeless. Its not the same for everyone. Harder for some than others. My daughter chose to be homeless for several years. When she lost her children, she lost her unction. Through her, Ive met dozens of homeless. Almost none that Ive met, wanted to reenter society. Most have some sort of addiction. Many are running from the law. Some have committed murders. Most travel with a dog for protection and companionship.The females were usually more broken than the males through some sort of abuse, but not always. They can stand on a median or street and make several hundred dollars a day, depending on where they are. Many actually work for their donations, by performing for street crowds or doing a craft. Americans are the most giving people in the world. Thats why we have so many social programs to help the disadvantaged, minorities, females, children, addicts, criminals, sad people, mad people, immoral people and lazy people. Theres a government program or a church program to assist every ill of society. They give money, food, clothes, shoes, coats, blankets, temp housing, permanent housing, medical assistance, obama phones, food stamps, help with drug/alcohol addiction, ect ectBut for most, being homeless is preferable to being a responsible member of society. They have an entire network of people, friends relatives, across the nation. They have websites where Ive seen many pictures of a homeless people smiling and fanning out the money they bummed that day, and often a bottle of booze they bought with part of it. Most females drop out of traveling when they have a child. Some do not and subject their children to this lifestyle. The travelers who do drop out, usually get a crazy check, obama hands them out like candy because, as we see now, he is using every type and level of mental illness to restrict people from owning a firearm. They also get food stamps, housing. Their home now becomes one of the many safe houses for other travelers. They have their own underground society. They have festivals and functions. Most all of them are homeless, because they choose to be. I agree with you, on so many accounts. When I was 17, I volunteered with Loaves and Fishes (a homeless shelter/meal provider) and the Mustard Seed School (a school for children that are homeless or in transitional housing that allows them to get caught up and their parents to look for work) in Sacramento, near the capitol. I was very struck by how many people there seemed to have mental problems. Some of these people are not capable of holding down jobs. Many are the ones that society used to care for before Reagan closed all the mental hospitals. Only a very small percentage are there because they are lazy. It irks me that they are banned from sleeping (or camping by trying to protect themselves from the elements), yet no one will do anything to help them to get off the streets. I have known homeless people, some that were able to get off the streets. First, their life is no cake walk. The longer they have to survive out their, the crazier they become. Women have to avoid getting raped. Men have to avoid getting robbed and beat up. They have to survive the elements, which are not kind. The people who take the attitude that they have to follow all the laws, and so should you, are self-righteous and lacking compassion. They obviously have not had to walk in the other persons shoes. I share the belief that everyone should pull their own weight, with the caveat that not everyone can. The self-righteous should be grateful that they have enough wits not to wind up homeless.
