No. They don't go. Read the links in my previous several posts right before this. Most homeless do NOT migrate. Not for benefits. Not for weather.

Yeah we know this but the liberals will never admit it .

It’s a fact there is a big criminal element among the homeless population too .

The areas with high concentration of homeless have higher crime .

If the homeless don’t commit crime why are so many police dedicated to skid row and why is crime so high there?

No, you don't “know”. You think because of your lack of education on the topic you obsess over.

The homeless disaster in L.A is entirely owned by the Dems and their failed regressive policies .

I take the word of LAPD Captains that work the area over liberal trolls that don’t even live in L.A any day of the week .

I’d suggest everyone else reading this forum does the same .

The homeless advocates want to make it seem like all the homeless are just down on their luck angels which is nonsense. Huge criminal element among the homeless . Just the facts.

Then they’ll say “oh but they aren’t committing “ serious crimes “

But the homeless have murdered random people in L.A .. I guess it’s not serious enough to them .

“Homelessness isn’t a crime” is their slogan .

LAPD Capt. Marc Reina, who took over Central Division on Christmas Day, has made it a priority to increase officer visibility and flexibility with Downtown patrols. He doesn’t deny that people feel the environment is more dangerous, but notes that he must respond to anecdotal experiences and LAPD statistics in a quickly shifting community.


“Much of the increase in violent crime can be traced to Skid Row, which is seeing a nearly 10% boost in the category compared to last year, according to Reina.

“Much of the concerning activity happens in the Historic Core, which has a direct connection to Skid Row,” Reina said.”

Yeah but I guess rape isn’t considered “a serious crime” when the homeless do it .
According to the delusional homeless advocates .

Their war cry is “homelessness is not a crime”

Homelessness isn't a crime. Rape is.

Gun ownership isn't a crime. Murdering people is.

Another non sequitur from you. Unless you can somehow explain how your comment ties in to the discussion?

No one that I'm aware of has said that rape isn't a crime, but in case you forgot

But one thing to keep in mind, not all homeless women who are raped are assaulted by homeless men.
But being homeless is not in itself a crime any more than is offensive behavior on an internet forum. Not everything that offends your sensibilities or mine is against the law
