This Does Piss Me Off
It Shames Me Too.

Why clearing homeless camps is harder in California than most states. Will Supreme Court make it easier?
Rulings by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals have made it harder for officials in California and other Western states to clear encampments. The Supreme Court could take up the issue early next year.’
Me: It is considered normal in US society to get rid of the Homeless by any means. Sure, they are humans and alive. Sure they gather together to stay alive better. Humans have always done that. It is an ancestral thing. We aren’t stupid.
This togetherness is being taken from the Homeless wherever possible in the USA. The Unhomed are cast out and alone. Some Homed people even take the Homeless and alone’s small comfort, a sleeping bag. The open bare ground is what they deserve.
When you take a Homeless encampment, you take living beings’ tiny homes — the tents — -you take their means of sleeping warm and with each other. You take their marginal safety.
You take the land they are on. You claim it isn’t theirs! You take their dignity as living beings. You ignore, abhor, and curse them. Lefties and righties do this. If any of us don’t, we don’t know what to do about this situation. That means, how do we make it end?
I walk among the Homeless everyday. I am Homed. I am scared and yet I have to push through. I have to accept these are People who are among the Living too. I have to treat them like that. There are a lot of us who try to do this whenever we encounter a Homeless person. We try to treat them accordingly. Many hire one. I have. He was a great research assistant. I know many others have too. You can read about these events in many magazines, including AARP (for elder folks).
I don’t know what to do about the Homelesses’ situation as humans mean ‘do’. I don’t know how to make it end.
Why? We all claim we love life. Righties and Lefties do this. Few humans say they don’t.
Truth is, we only love any life that pleases us and we get rid of any lives that don’t.
It is clear most USAians don’t think of the Homeless as living, and after the Homed have done what they will to the Unhomed, death is a very real possibility. We might get rid of them.
Did I mention the living seek by DNA urging to stay alive at all costs? It is a sign of Life.
It is a sign someone is Living.
Still some manage to Live until the Homed manage to kill them. I have to live with this every day too. Warming centers help. They are scattered about the cold places in winter.

How about where you live?
