Alex Wenzel: Tangential, but the charges that people arrested at the UCSD encampment faced included the same trash can encroachment statute that the City uses against unhoused people. Anyone who makes themselves inconvenient to power in some way is just downgraded from human to annoying sidewalk trash can.

They don't have an inside to go to. This is "increase jail population and slave labor" ruling.

since scotus are now the experts, i'd like to hear how they expect to effectively rehabilitate "not having a home" crimes? wtf??

They don't intend those to be rehabilitated

I guess the court expects all those claiming to be good Christians to step up and give a hand to those homeless.... The same good Christians that passed those anti-Homeless laws.

No, they don't give homeless people any more thought than they would give ants in their garden. They're pests, something to step over, nothing more

Not at all tangential, right on target

He actually just said it too, which is helpful.

"...or a student who abandons his dorm room to camp out in protest..." ah, there it is

I feel were are this close to seeing a version of the Victorian work house here in the U.S. Like a hairbreadth away.

We got somewhat close to “concentration camp on a bombing range miles from the nearest grocery store, job, or transit line” in San Diego but the Marine Corps of all things mustered enough humanity to refuse to allow warehousing vulnerable humans on fields of unexploded ordnance.

I'm sitting here shaking my head at how people treat other people. There is no humanity in too much of human kind. Treating people with common decency is apparently very very uncommon.

San Diego is the lab for testing just how much cruelty and surveillance a relatively comfortable majority is willing to put up with for the sake of maintaining said comfort

As someone who grew up in SD and was homeless there for a year and a half before leaving, I can confirm this with 1000% accuracy.

No words. Just... no words.
