I get you, they're not dealing with homelessness, they're dealing with trespassing. I do think that they shouldn't be so harsh to homeless people, but here in SA, homeless people are rather rude and generally dangerous, often resorting to crime.
Homeless people often have undiagnosed mental issues, or have already been evicted from mental health facilities. They are stuck in a scary, urban environment that doesn't want them.
The kind where I, as a working class american pay over 27% of my wages to taxes so the president an other politicians can have private jets, meals at any hour, and literally more vacation days in a year than I've hady entire working life while we scratch and claw just to make it week to week. True story
(Unrelated to homeless people in particular) How bout we deal with it by not giving free phones to people and food stamps that are valid for lobster and steak? Then maybe it wouldn't be so luxurious to be dependent on the government.
LOLz at the (mistaken) knee jerk reaction that it's America.
Also, anyone who wants to help by giving a particular person food or a home is free to do so. I support a group that houses and feeds the homeless, and provides counseling, but they have to do things like not drink or use drugs and at some point look for a job and contribute to the shelter's upkeep by emptying the trash or washing windows. But, that's too much for some. And because this is run by a group that gives a $#!+ and not funded by money confiscated from others and filtered through the government bureaucarcy, it doesn't count as "helping the homeless"by those who think that only the government can do something.
very cruel
