TEAR DOWN THE HOMELESS CAMPS AND DISPERSE PEOPLE TO WHERE? 60 % INCREASE ON BANNING PUBLIC CAMPING SINCE 2011!

HUFFPOST - BANNING HOMELESS CAMPS JUST DISPERSES THE ISSUE  by Mary Wisniewski for Reuters

EXCERPT: Across the United States, local governments are moving to prevent outdoor camping by the homeless, according to advocates for the nation's nearly 600,000 homeless, estimated by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

Government officials say they are trying to limit outdoor camping for the health and safety of the homeless and other residents. But homeless advocates say the bans are not a solution to homelessness and further stigmatize the poor.  (What a joke!)

Over a third of U.S. cities impose citywide bans on public camping, a 60 percent increase in such ordinances since 2011, according to a 2014 survey of 187 cities by the National Law Center on Homelessness and Poverty.

More than half the cities surveyed, 57 percent, prohibit camping in certain public places. Such bans have climbed by 16 percent over the past three years, the study found.

EXPOSE HOMELESSNESS BLOGSPOT - UNITED STATES OF AMERICA - A COMMUNITY SERVICE BLOG

If you've never hit on us before,  EXPOSE HOMELESSNESS is a COMMUNITY SERVICE BLOG focused on the homeless of the United States of America.  We are based in Southern California, which is the homeless capital of the United States, but we are interested in what's going on around the state and through the country and the world.

NOW THAT YOU ARE HERE, WE WOULD LIKE YOU TO STICK AROUND LONG ENOUGH TO READ THREE MORE POSTS BESIDES THE ONE THAT BROUGHT YOU TO US! 

Reading the news, we're aware that people are being driven out of homeless camp grounds all over the country by small and large cities who have little to no options for temporary shelters, temporary housing, or low income housing programs, and that some of them are putting people on buses to other towns with nothing more than their clothes on their back and a bag lunch.  We consider these "Round Ups" and "Shut Downs" and "Clean Ups"  as well as "Greyhound Therapy" to be akin to ETHNIC CLEANSING that happens in other countries where a minority group is unwanted.  In other parts of the world ETHNIC CLEANSING involves the theft of person's possessions (like when camps are mowed or police or other authorities take a homeless person's possessions) and often violent bloody death.  Here the deaths take longer and are less obvious when it's about lack of health care and dangerous living conditions that kill.

WE WERE RIVITED TO HEAR DAVID CRUZ - KTLK RADIO - SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA - EXPOSE THE BEATING OF KELLY THOMAS ON THANKSGIVING NIGHT

David Cruz, radio host of his own show on KTALK radio 11 50 AM chose the Thanksgiving diner hour to play portions of a heart rendering tape of the BEATING OF KELLY THOMAS and we want to honor him for doing so.

Hearing the terrible pleaing screams of Kelly as what Cruz called  "A MOB IN UNIFORM" beat and Tazered him made us so upset we were talking about the DEATH PENALTY FOR Officer Manny Romas (not sure of the spelling here) and his hoard.   But as Cruz pointed out Romas is being tried for SECOND DEGREE MURDER which is not correct since there is evidence from the officer's threats that he intended to kill.

YOU CAN CALL THE FULLERTON POLICE AT THIS NUMBER TO ADD YOUR VOICE TO THE PROTEST 
714-566-6308

Cruz said that he's been to the LA morgue and to skid row and that he knows there is another homeless dead every day and that he was not all that interested in the homeless before this but hearing this tape which a woman colleague insisted he hear effected him "AS A HUMAN BEING and AS A FATHER!"

Luckily recorded on video the 33 minutes of beatings smashed Thomas's face  and body till he was chocking on his own blood. 

One of us thinks that maybe the Tazers used on Thomas should be inserted up the asses of the officers involved and turned on.  Some of us would enjoy watching a hanging.

WE WERE SICK! 
AND WE THANK YOU AGAIN DAVID CRUZ!

WALK TO END GENOCIDE IN DARFUR , SUDAN, AFRICA : A GOOD CAUSE : NOW IF ONLY THEY WOULD STOP THE ETHNIC CLEANSING OF HOMELESS IN THE UNITED STATES

Linked here.

The organization is fund raising in order to provide vocational training for Congolese women, open a burn treatment center, provide education for children, medical treatment, and so on. A worthy cause, but one more organization that is going to the rescue of people in other countries while there is so much that needs to be done here. 5.4 million people have been killed in Darfur, Sudan since 1996. That's terrible but it is also the problem of the SUDANESE. This organization says they will work on genocide worldwide. We hope that includes the United States.

SOME OF US SEE THE WAY HOMELESS PEOPLE ARE TREATED AS A FORM OF ETHNIC CLEANSING OR GENOCIDE HERE IN THE UNITED STATES. ALLOWED TO SICKEN AND DIE ON THE STREETS. LIVING IN THE 3rd world RIGHT HERE!
