What Democratic politicians say and what they do is a totally different thing.

I wonder where the homeless will go with Eric Garcetti sending cops with AR-15's or AR-15 like weapons to homeless encampments, especially homeleess encampments with wheelchairs.

People shouldn’t be homeless in a desirable location, ruining it for everyone.

You want to be homeless, go be homeless in the middle of the Mojave, away from everyone. I have no problem with taxes being used to set you up in a tent city there, with food and water, too. But you can’t leave until you have a way to support yourself. If you want to call that jail, so be it.

I'm confident most people support getting rid of homeless encampments someway, somehow. They are quite a blight upon society and reflect a lack of caring toward people mentally unable to cope with the demands of civilized society. If government would reopen the closed insane asylums and treat the homeless people there, it would surely help matters. I can't imagine myself being homeless, unless I was mentally ill.

What a bizzare fantasy? Americans believe in concentration camps in 110 degree weather for the homeless?

You do know what you propose is nothing more than a concentration camp where they would pass away from the heat inn the confined space?

I guess the constitution doesn't matter anymore in today's America?

The majority of the Mohave is over 100 degrees in the summer, compared to 70 degrees in Venice.

Misleading post. A man in the tent had pulled a gun on another person in the area. The rifles were not used to clean out the encampments.

This is why I stopped voting for the democrats back in 2012. They have become nothing more than mouth pieces for the super rich.

But I thought you people were against cops and wanted them defunded and against AR-15's and want them banned? And I bet if the campers were black you would be screaming "police brutality". Like I said you democrats are a bunch of hypocrites.

I’ve spent a lot of time in tent cities in much more hotter temperatures than 100. You do know that they have AC in tents, right?

Homeless encampments in cities are a menace to society. Drug use, violence, disease spreading, etc. They should be separated from society.

But you know, if your heart bleeds, you can set up a homeless camp on your own property and pay for their well being if you want to. I’m sure you don’t want that as you think “they” should pay for them, right?
