Don't forget this also includes: people struggling with addiction and mental health issues. It's not just the homeless.
It also includes people who are loitering, a sufficiently broad definition that could be maliciously wielded against protestors.
It also stipulates that if hospitals are unavailable, jails will be used.
So it’s literally an order to allow them to throw anyone they want into prison.
...strange things afoot at the circle k...
This is certainly a bogus journey.
...that was far more entertaining...
Are they going to start locking us up because of their made up "trump derangement syndrome"?
You know the answer.
...yes...
Just wait until they start saying being LGBTQ+ and autistic are "mental health issues".
First they came for the immigrants, and I did not speak out because I was not an immigrant
Then they came for the homeless, and I did not speak out because I was not homeless.
Then they came for the LGBTQ, and I did not speak out because I was not LGBTQ.
We know how this poem ends.
Where have you been? They have been saying that for a while now
Being autistic is a mental health issue. Many people suffer great challenges others just need a bit of support.
