Oregon bill would decriminalize homeless encampments, allow unhoused people to sue for harassment

Just Oregon trying to be number 1 over California and New York.

They are simply putting their practices on paper as this is already occurring.

Makes even a somewhat sane person shake their head in wonderment.... WTF

Get a job, and keep that job. Do not get addicted to drugs. Stay out of trouble.
The formula isn't exactly rocket science.

I will admit though, the alarm clock does suck. And work can certainly be a bite in the ass at times.
But it's much better than being a homeless fucking loser.


Maybe I lack empathy but I make no longer care.

It must really suck living or even working in areas where there are tent encampments.

Are people getting what they voted for?

Most are homeless due to their drug addictions. There are plenty of shelters available, but no drug use is permitted. So they end up in tents on the sidewalk leaving their used needles all over the place.

Say goodbye to any public parking garages. They'll just set up their camps in them to stay out of the rain and nobody will be able to remove them.

The “Oregon Right to Rest Act” aims to support people experiencing homelessness by allowing them to “rest in public spaces and seek protection from adverse weather conditions,”

Thank goodness that sort of thing would not work out where I live and work. It's mostly made up of muddy farm fields, rednecks, dogs, backhoes, and swamps. I'm just sayin'

About the same where I live. Guess I'm safe, for now.

Backhoes? Swamps? Cant think of a better place to send these mutants. Rednecks will know what to do.

I forgot to mention that there is a Bigfoot roaming around here too.

Some guy got a picture of it on his game cam. But thankfully I mean unfortunately it's blurry.

Apparently there has been one for years in Ithaca, NY.
