What is wrong with us as a country that we can’t take freedom away from our mentally ill who can’t function? Even with drug addicts among them. We need to keep them somewhere safe, NOT ON OUR STREETS! it isn’t good for us or them. This is really a poor way to care for our mentally ill. They need to have their freedom curtailed the way ad adult with special needs or a parent with severe Alzheimer’s is. We can’t let this keep happening.

Ideas on why it is so prevalent now?


The Homeless has become a protected class in need of love and understanding.

It’s probaly just another group leftists can use to control the rest of us. Man are we stupid or what.

the US Army eliminated a typhus epidemic in Naples in 1945 by spraying everthing in site with DDT... they even sprayed the powerder beneath the clothing of people who didn’t have a change of clothing.

but of course, the environmentalists have eliminated DDT, so people will die.

The public health laws do allow the camps to be shut down and people to be isolated in hospitals if they suspect infetions. Alas the ACLU has nixed this...

Tilted Irish Kilt,

Thanks for the ping.

We will see more of this, I fear.
