  • One of the cities largest homeless encampments in the city just a few blocks from the White House was cleared out by the police and city officials. I also chased fire trucks intentionally and just sort of ran into some.

      @@trish2179 Some shelters separate you from your family or your pets. And you shouldn't have to have a curfew if you go to a shelter. In some shelters, you risk becoming a violent crime victim of assault, or having your property stolen. I would like to see some anti-homeless police officers show the public their patrol logs so that the public can see how much time they spend making homeless people move, vs. how much time they spend patrolling homeless shelters and protecting homeless people.

    Homelessness is a social issue. We have many in my community of 100,000. If their caught sleeping in the car ramps, their fined. Drug and alcohol is why they don't go to the shelters. Even in the winter they have to leave the shelter until evening. Working in a Community Garden I coordinated the extra produce to the Community Table where one nutritious meal is served 365 days a year. Very sad situation.

I ran down the steps with the battery still spewing sparks. It made a place on our wooden floor. I finally got the charger with battery still attached thrown in the middle of the yard. There is no warning when this battery blew up. Just think how close this car battery is to your crown jewels! Very dangerous.

      The tents are bought and paid for by some non-profit of some sort. A lot of people keep wondering where the tents come from, there are so many real nice tents, not cheap ones.
