Moar winning Kali style!

The homeless problem is 100% a drug and mental illness problem. For every heart breaking story about a single mom that was laid off and fled her abusive husband with nothing but the clothes in her back, there are 1000s are heroin addicts stealing shit and attacking people for their next high. The first deserves help, and tends to get it. The latter is a blight that everyone wants to pretend is something it isn’t.

My solution (note: not a call for genocide)...

Let non-violent marijuana offenders out of prison and lock these fucking junkies up instead. Provide treatment and a path to re-entry into society for those that want it. Keep the rest away from the civilized population.

This is false. While rates of addiction and mental illness are certainly higher in the homeless population a vast majority of homeless people do not have an addiction or mental health issue. The ones that do are the ones you see though. You don't tend to see the family sleeping in their van in the Home Depot parking lot but everyone sees the meth addict screaming at the lamppost and shitting on the sidewalk.

Ok, I’m all for helping those people. But I’m not ok with letting the addicts run wild on my streets.

Another bullshit claim from Scotty that he'll run and hide like a Kunt from when asked for a link.
