California, the land of extremely expensive houses and limitless pockets to support the downtrodden. The middle class is so screwed there. I guess it's a good thing it has great weather or no average person in their right mind would want to live there.
I'm remarkably average and I'm living here attending college.
So if somebody breaks into your home and robs you and beats you and they are down on their luck that is perfectly fine with you? Do you even read the nonsense you post?
Burglary and aggravated assault are felonies. We are talking about minor crimes like loitering, park curfews, sleeping in public (like on a beach), and not having ID.

The other option is to give them tickets and when they don't pay you will pay to house them in the local jail. What is the point of arresting a homeless person.
I'll complain about whoever I want. Actually I wasn't complaining about the homeless but about forcing taxpayers to provide for them. It's mind boggling that they were even thinking of allowing them to urinate in public to boot. The race to turn the US into a third world country is led by California that's for sure.
You complain about the problem (as it is your Constitutional right to do so), yet don't want to contribute anything to solve it?
Double standard much?
Come back at me when you decide to be a real American and help your fellow Americans out.
Well some human beings are vagrants. That is a fact. You have a hard time dealing with facts it seems.
Actually, I'm a vagrant and a Veteran. My dad was in the Navy so we moved around a lot. By your definition (and this isn't an attack on your argument, just so you know) all military personnel are vagrants.
I lived in Virginia Beach, then Norfolk, back to Virginia Beach, then back to Norfolk before moving to Tampa, Florida. I then moved out here to Los Angeles and have been having the time of my life paying cheap, cheap rent (for California standards anyway) and attending college.
I am a vagrant, a human being, a military Veteran, and most of all I am an American.
I'm remarkably average and I'm living here attending college.
Who are you talking about?
Not people whose primary occupation is going to college. I'm talking about the middle to upper-middle class, you know, the ones who end up being negatively impacted by laws like this.
I simply called them what they are........vagrants. Take it up with the dictionary if you don't agree.
1. One who wanders from place to place without a permanent home or a means of livelihood. 2. A wanderer; a rover. 3. One who lives on the streets and constitutes a public nuisance. adj.1. Wandering from place to place and lacking any means of support. 2. Wayward; unrestrained: a vagrant impulse. 3. Moving in a random fashion; not fixed in place:
What would Jesus have to say about your characterizations of him?
He wandered from place to place, doing his sermons and feeding his fellow poor?
He was a public nuisance to the status quo.
He had to relieve himself along the way I am sure.
