You do put people down in practically every post to make your liberal opinions seem right to other people. How’s that going for you? All it does is feed your narcissistic insecure ego.

Exactly, liberals love diversity except when it comes to opinions and speech. Tulemutt is known to attack anyone with a different opinion.

So, this exchange has now turned into a referendum personal attack on Tulemutt ... not because Tulemutt has “attacked” anyone (which is clear by any reading of the recent posts) ... but because the other posters engaged can’t validate their personal opinions I have demonstrated are flawed.

Perfectly brilliant!

Anyone care to get back on topic and provide valid, researched proof of claims re: violent crime by homeless exceeding violent crime by non-homeless? Just wondering

I disagree with mutt on most issues but I don't attack him, only his ideas. He can attack me, it's fine, I'm not a sensitive person.

As for providing statistics and research, I simply don't care nor have the time. I preach what I see, be it driving around here in Paradise or down in Chico or watching television.

What is a fact that California keeps spending more money on the homeless than ever before, but the numbers of the homeless keep rising. That is from the Sacramento Bee, and forgive me if I can't provide the page number or the date.

The following is extremely inhuman and cynical, but: Don't feed the bears unless you want more bears on the porch.

That’s not the topic of the OP. If your so interested in violent crime why don’t you start a post with all your facts and figures the states been lying about for years?

I didn't attack you. Or anybody. I asked you to validate your statements with verifiable facts. You haven’t, so I assume you can’t or don’t care to bother. In either case, that demonstrates what I am talking about. No problem and nothing personal. But “not caring” speaks volumes ... and “preaching what [you] see” without verifying does as well.

All cities and states are spending more money than ever before on homelessness as it rises everywhere. The problem worsens with new homeless because affordable housing inventory continually shrinks faster than already homeless can be housed through existing support programs.

People who lack accurate education on the issue should ask questions and learn ... or stay out of the way if they don’t care to become truly informed. Whining, complaining, vilifying, accusing, demonizing, fear-mongering, spreading rumors ... all counterproductive.

Thanks.

What’s “not the topic”? Violent crime by the homeless? It certainly is included in the broad topic of all things homeless in the Bay Area.

And I didn’t bring it up in this recent series of posts. I responded to false information.

Facts and figures? I have literally posted well over a thousand contributions in these homeless threads ... loaded with links and quotes to verifiable facts and figures to support. Now, how about you supply some verifiable rebuttal for a change of pace?

And if the bears keep coming anyway? You’ll do what? Especially without understanding the nature of bears ...

I'm so happy you brought it up.

Maybe a year ago the Sacramento Bee had a very long, 2-3 page report about the bear problem at the Lake Tahoe.
Bears were breaking into vacant vacation homes, destroying property, tearing up refrigerators and furniture. On a few occasions occupants were attacked or threatened. Whenever a resident complained to Fish&Wildlife or the police, asking for a removal permit ( a bear trap or license to shoot) the neighbors turned on him.

The complainer's name and address was outed on Facebook or other social media. After that he got eggs on his windows, people spit on him at the market, his car was dented, and he received unanimous threats online which would disqualify any of us here on our beloved City Data.

Now comes the interesting part. All this was on the California side of the lake, full of liberal, progressive residents.

As the Bee reported it, and I can't quote but I am paraphrasing, the Nevada side had the problem too on a much, much lesser degree. The Bee didn't say ( I mean write it ) out loud, but the implication was that with Nevada laws being different, the locals being rather conservative, no-nonsense people, the offending bears got trapped or shot at on short order, and the bears quickly learned to stay away.

Before I get called a fascist nazi collaborator I'm against shooting the bears, the homeless or anyone else. This post is about the different ways conservatives and progressives deal with wildlife which becomes a threat.

Nevada is not a conservative state, it's politics are very similar to California. It currently has a Democratic trifecta, house, senate and Governor Now about bears...yes Nevada has different laws regarding bears who want to move into your house but I'm not sure how/why you think the differences are attributable to politics. There is/was a crazy lady who lived on the California side and she raised so much hell that she made it difficult to get a permit to kill a predatory bear but I don't think politics were behind it.

Good to hear you don’t advocate shooting the homeless (or anyone else ) ... you didn’t specify your position on “trapping”, however. I am left wondering. And, if you do advocate for trapping and detaining, wondering under what laws such actions would be allowed unless in the condition of arrest-able crimes taking place? Anywhere. Conservative or liberal states.

By the way, before we go further down this “conservative / liberal” angle, are you aware from reading any of my previous posts that I have no political affiliation or ideology? That I have voted for both conservatives and liberals in national and state and local elections including for POTUS? Read any of my posts where I express support for strong state’s rights, extreme immigration controls, dismantling the welfare system, support gun rights ... quote and compliment certain conservative journalists and politicians? Humorous as hell that when I express support for issues and known figures generally regarded as conservative, I get no blowback from liberal readers. But when I express support for positions that faux-conservatives object to, I am assailed as a liberal

Thinking through issues strictly on the bases of science, logic, history, anthropological foundations, legal constraints ... and so on ... is apparently VERY threatening to many present era faux-conservatives.

Now, back to trapping homeless bears
