Avast ye landlubbers! In a grand debate at the highest court on Monday, there be talk of allowing the homeless to pitch their tents in public. Arrr, be they forgettin' about the poor souls who be sufferin' from this mad notion? Stand up for the true victims, me hearties!
Avast ye landlubbers! In a Supreme Court showdown on Monday, the debate be whether the homeless scallywags have the "right" to camp in public. Arrr, but no one be speakin' about the true victims of that daft idea. The likes of the American Civil Liberties Union be claimin' that living on the streets be a "victimless" crime. Victimless? Blimey!Every soul who be steppin' over needles and human dung and dodgin' half-asleep landlubbers while traversin' to work or takin' their young'uns to school be a victim. Every shop owner whose doorway be blockaded by makeshift shelters be a victim. And every family wantin' to enjoy a park but findin' it cluttered with tents be a victim, by Blackbeard's ghost!The homeless be more likely to commit violent acts than those with a roof o'er their heads. The public have every reason to be wary. Cities be watchin' City of Grants Pass v. Johnson, where the 9th Circuit be sayin' it be cruel to penalize the homeless for sleepin' in public with blankets. Blimey!The likes of Justice Clarence Thomas be askin' if it be criminal to lack a home or to choose the rough life over shelter. The outcome of the case could change the whole nation's view on homeless encampments, but the decision be in the hands of the people, arrr!
