    I watch them prey on these college kids all the time. Now it's really bad.

    I don't support the Republican Party. I support democracy limited by the constitution, aka a republic.

    Funny how when the ruling was passed, the homeless started camping on the City Hall property, only to get run off by the police. So the city's elite have, once again, a law for them and a different law for us.

    Untrue. That's why I thought you were lost. Looks like I'm right.

    Your comment that what happens (on this topic) in Texas is legal. Meet Max;

    That bloke is homeless. Mate of mine. Sleeps wherever he can in a small Town on the Sunshine Coast. He has more money than you will ever poke a stick at. He chooses to live that way....totally legally.

    I don't support 'Partys'.

    I vote based on priorities.

    Priority 1: Gun Rights
    Priority 2: Property Rights, Free Speech, Freedom of Association
    Priority 3 and higher: everything else

    Thus I tend to vote Republican, but not from any 'party loyalty'. For example- I would vote for a pro-gun progressive Democrat communist (if one ever exists) over an anti-gun capitalist Republican in an instant.

    No idea.

    Still...all you have offered in this Thread is questions. Stuffed if I am going to continue to feed your habit.

    Right, so basically you have only ever voted Republican and will continue to vote Republican from now until the day you die. You can't see that?

    Plenty of Republicans have shown themselves willing to toss the 2A under the bus for political points, and I'm not without hope that we may find another JFK some day.

    Though what you say is likely.

    Work and support yourself.


    Yes there is, don't give them anything. Starvation is a powerful motivator.
    How much of a dump do you want your street to be? Do you have children or Grand children? Do you want them finding used needles laying around stepping in human feces walking home from school?

    If you don't want them in your naighborhood why should someone else tolerate them in theirs?

    Because they don't want to. It's a shelter which is a charity. The idea is to help people through a crisis not be a permanent residence.
