This can be distilled into "better things aren't possible", which may be true in fact. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] |
Locking homeless in a hospital or institution against their will is considered kidnapping and illegal, so you would need a court order. Sounds a lot like criminalizing homelessness: taking them to court to remove their liberties to live where they want and to imprison them in a hospital
Taking hardcore illegal drugs out of homeless people’s hands to prevent them from doing organic damage to their brain chemicals with these? Need police for that. I know progressives assume that there is some “magic” phrase that a substance abuse counselor can say that will instantly make someone decide to give up their heroin or meth addiction, because that’s how it goes in the feelgood movies progressives watch. Turns out, in real life, SOME people are going to continue to use drugs until it kills them and nothing anyone says, not their mom, not a counselor, not Joe Biden, is going to change their mind. What’s the solution for these people? Continue to give them clean needles while the children of the city’s citizens get to watch the homeless person’s slow suicide to drug addiction play out on the street in front of them? That compassion? Or is compassion having the police take the drugs out of their hands, and at the very least destroy those drugs, at most to put the homeless into a forced psychiatric hold or even jail to make them temporarily sober that way? I imagine a lot of people would say neither way is more compassionate
