If you shoot a millionaire on a sidewalk, you're a terrorist. If you let a homeless person freeze to death on a sidewalk, you're a member of Congress with a keen sense of fiscal responsibility.

Both are wrong. But only one is classed legally a as terosim.

This is a dumb argument. Seriously dumb. There are housing and emergency shelters for homeless people. However they choose to not go- the majority- because they are in active addiction and/ or suffering form untreated mental illness. What do you not understand about that? Have you personally tried to get a homeless a place to stay in a shelter or emergency facility? I think not because most won’t go. That’s the problem - it’s not that there isn’t somewhere for them to go- there is- they choose not to.

Have you worked with the unhoused population?

@GregC62966809
Agreed! Take all those billions the US sends outside the country and use it here. Remove write offs for donations that end up outside the US.

Homelessness in Dallas has skyrocketed as illegals have all the apartments and affordable homes. The black community suffers the most.

@anthonyzenkus
It's skyrocketed everywhere and that's not the reason. Rent being too high is.

No.
1- Case, you are a killer.
2- Case, you are a politician = smooth killer

It’s the government’s fault that there is no altruism in our society anymore, 100 years of the nanny state has made people think it’s the government’s job to take care of people instead of individual families and communities.
Make Altruism Great Again!

Do you have any idea how much money federal, state, and city governments have invested in addressing homelessness? Apparently you don’t.

How much concern do we need to have for people that choose to do this to themselves?

What about an enlightened college Professor who clearly understands the issues but refuses to open his home to homeless people or undocumented immigrants?
Doesn’t his enlightened understanding and knowledge of the situation make his refusal to open his home more egregious than those who lack his insight?

Too bad there aren’t ANY NGO’s that offer this service.

@Gordon_CRE
It’s tragic that murder isn’t equally prosecuted.
But one evil you described is one of action and another inaction.
As a result I ask you, when is the last time you’ve spent time or money to house or feed the unhoused?
And pressuring others to help doesn’t count.

Congress has NO duty for homeless- that is 100% a state issue to decide.,

@ElwinSidney
I think you are wrong in your characterization of this. The two things are not comparable for one. Another thing being that the real problem is the “non-profits” that take money and pay themselves huge salaries all while doing nothing to solve the problem.

That’s correct. We are responsible for our families, not the world.

People choosing to be homeless drug addicts is definitely the fault of congress.

How many homeless people are sharing your spare bedroom?
How often to you campaign for laws allowing authorities to force the homeless into treatment or care situations?

If you shoot a millionaire in cold blood to make a “political” point, yes you are a terrorist. And if the California State government simply loses $24 billion that was supposed to be spent on the homeless, totally unaccounted for, and grifter non-profits exploit the homeless to line their own pockets, and you defend that, you are a “progressive.”

You call yourself an "anti-violence commie".
Turns out you're a pro-violence commie.
Just like every other communist in history.
Communism is pure evil.
Always has been.
Always will be.
