How do you know if someone is “unhoused”. Does this apply to anyone who is outside?
Sure. That's why on Purge Day you'll want to lock the doors of your luxurious gated house and not go out until it's over.
Main problem here is that the legislation appears to have made every day into Purge Day. They'll need to clarify that, I guess.
They define it, so anyone who actually reads the law can see what it means legally. Then if the person leasing or who owns the property believes the homeless person is threatening them they can shoot them.
Now I'm not trying to call you out for not reading the specific law. I didn't include it here either for the same reason. The problem is very few people will go read that law. So the day this passes, the clock is ticking to a black teenager getting shot with this law as a cover. It'll be just another way to make people tune out. Dickhead claims the victim was homeless and aggressive. And just like pulling up juvenile history, or a picture with a bong, most of the country will tune out.
I always feel threatened and since I believe in impermanence, I see and believe everyone is homeless. Step on my lawn, mofo!!!!!!
Not at all. Just pointing out the obvious. From the article pretty much everything in the bill is problematic.
Why is this your angle? Do you realize how condescending you sound? God forbid people ask other related questions.
