I just went about my civic duty to clean up the park at night when the bums go out and collect cans and trash at midnight. SOOOOOO DIRTY. I must have got like over 20 plastic bottles and beer cans. I don't bother to pick up the glass cuz its too heavy to carry. So much trash everywhere at the park its just disgusting; a true eyesore. I did the best I could by myself picking up candy wrappers, foam take out trays, leftover fast food. I destroy their canned food as a signature.
I ain't scared of them bums I had to tune up one of the fakers the other day for pretending to be a Vietnam vet. When I asked him who his drill instructor was, his platoon, his corporal, his sgt, his staff sgt, they had no answer to say but "vietnam was 30 years ago I don't remember yada yada yada". That right there is a bunch of BS since the war happened in the 60's. Lets do the math, 30 years ago we were in the middle east.
Whenever I catch bums dumpster diving or drinking/camping in the park I say "sir ill take that trash for you" and i'll just snatch it up. If they get belligerent or start verbally assaulting me, I can legally defend myself and say I was scared for my life. This is the way I solve the homeless problem in my city. Take away their livelihood, eradicate their stashes of food and stolen goods and whatnot and sooner or later they will get the idea that the community cannot guarantee their safety if they stay there.
I have taken many bums beers away and dumped it out in front of them and take their cans. It's been working. There are less bums sleeping in our park now. My community also thanks me for tuning up trespassers
The city has been removing benches from bus stops to prevent the homeless from sleeping. However this sucks for the older and disabled citizens that rely on the bus for transport. The city has been reinforcing the fences and making them higher to prevent 'tent cities' from popping up. Unfortunately there are many encampments with populations of 500+ in each.
I have no love for the homeless that drink/drug. Those that are clearly in need I will give them water and offer to buy them a meal.
Sorry for the rant, just had to get that off my chest.
