    I hope the people who vote for this end up homeless, so they can experience “defensive force” personally.

      Imagine if this passed.

      If you kick your SO out of your house, and they agree to leave, they’re now instantly unhoused, right? And your honor, they brought all their stuff and were sleeping on my property.

      Could landlords come in, swat style, and execute you the moment eviction procedures go through?

      If someone is not inside a house, are they not unhoused? If their house burned down 5 minutes ago they certainly no longer have a house. If anyone is not in sight of their house, they could plausibly be unhoused, whether they know it or not. Besides, there’s no way for you to know their housing status. So all campers on your property sound like fair game.

      What constitutes camping? Being inside a tent? Sleeping? Bringing stuff onto the property? If a company sets up a party tent at the wrong address, could you mow them down?

        They did define it in the law.

        But I don’t expect anyone who’d shoot a person for being homeless to read it.

          That reminds me of when I was a kid, and asked if I could see the book where they have all the laws. My parents were confused and looked at me like I was crazy

          I still think it’s absolutely insane that they can take away your freedom or your life for breaking rules that we learn through gossip

            Yeah. The entire system is setup to just obey orders without critical thinking.
