Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill Wednesday that bans homeless people from setting up tents or sleeping in public spaces, as he compared the issue of homelessness to the chaos of spring break.

    So where the fuck are they supposed to sleep you fucking evil, heartless shitnuggets? You know damn well what the situation with shelters is.

      The goal of this bill is to make it for police to be able to legally harass the homeless. The hope is that if they harass them enough they’ll move to another state and then the government won’t have to deal with it anymore.

        In my home state they also use this bill to quell protests. That was the main drive here, to ensure politically active (for the wrong side) could have a felony and lose their right to vote.

          We’ve already got the protest part covered in Florida. It’s apparently legal to run over protesters

      RTFA. The bill requires municipalities to provide encampments.

      You know, so they can concentrate people somewhere. In a centralized camp.

        I can already imagine razor wire fencing and a watchtower or two around these public “encampments” soon, you know, for their “safety”.

          They can have a motivational slogan above the gate:

          Arbeit macht frei

        RTFA. The bill requires municipalities to provide encampments.

        And provides funding for the municipalities to create said encampments, right? Surely it doesn’t require those blue Demonrat controlled cities municipalities to fund such encampments on their own, right?
