Pro hide and seeker loose in my city right now

Lmao all homeless people are drug addicted losers? Interesting. Yet you have a political stance and statement to make that people should respect. Good for you.

Most of them.

Where do you live? When I lived in Chico, Ca all the parks and playgrounds were taken over by the mindless, zombie hordes. I watched them shoot up drugs in front of children playing on playgrounds while letting their pitbulls loose to terrorize everyone. I watched them drink booze and shit and piss everywhere in Bidwell park. It was nothing but an endless display of alcoholism, drug addiction and rampant mental illness.

And the city did NOTHING but make their lives as easy as possible. Every city council meeting was all about how to help the homeless. FUCK TAX PAYERS. They are nothing but a piggy bank to steal from. Fuck our broken roads. Fuck our fucked parking situation. Fuck you tax payers who follow the law. So they kept making things easy for the hordes, so more and more and more and more of them showed up.

And then the fire happened in Paradise, and thousands of people who lost their homes in the fire had to live in Chico. And the city lost their shit and got mad at actual needy people. Hilarious.


Make no mistake. They will destroy your city.

Most of them.

Yep, so let’s write them off so we can skirt responsibility and continue living our lives, hoping that wound on society doesn’t fester and grow and give us a gigantic problem down the line.

It’s worked for us so far

 

[ultramanhyata]

This guy isn't antifa or any kind of protestor. Pretty much the poster child for mental illness.

He chose to be homeless so he must have chosen to be mentally ill.

Logic.

Not all, but it certainly is characteristic. I mean, haven't you ever volunteered at a shelter? There's sometimes an example of a person who is temporarily down on their luck but who mostly has their life together. I've paid my dues working with the homeless, and the vast majority of homeless people I've met were either crazy or an addict, and the majority were both.

One element of homelessness that I think people don't often consider is that it usually entails people who should be helping the homeless person, ie their family and friends, giving up on them. The two things most likely to make family give up on trying to help a struggling member are mental illness and addiction. There are other problems that can lead to someone being without a job, or a home, or impoverished, but usually there's a support network and lots of social programs to help you get back on your feet.

I guess I just don’t see the value in insulting and writing off the dregs of society. The only real value comes from the relieving of one’s on responsibility for his community. Selfishness.

I don't agree at all with writing people off either. I think you and I are on the same page there.

I was just pointing out that there is a reality to the claims that homeless folks are crazy and/or addicts.

 

[HomeCheese]

How do you guys keep up with all this Newspeak?

Terms change over time. My recollection:
Hobo led to bum (what they were called when I was a kid) led to transient led to homeless. Transient is outdated by 15-20 years.

Update: shots fired in the riverbed again. Reports of another cop down

 

[MarloStanfield]

Never gets old

 

[TheGreatA]

He is John Rambo

Or Frank Reynolds who thinks he is John Rambo

The funny thing is that this is probably how a "Rambo" style incident would probably be reported to us.

"Homeless nutjob on the loose, multiple cops down".

 

[tehend]

He chose to be homeless so he must have chosen to be mentally ill.

Logic.

Nah, doubt this guy chose to be this way.

 

[tehend]

He's dead, wounded 2 additional officers before going down.

 

[Fugazy]

Nah, doubt this guy chose to be this way.

“Alright, good luck”

yep, he needs help.

edit: looks like he’s dead.

Wtf is a transient?

It's a euphemism for a homeless bum. Obligatory Carlin quotes:

"Here’s an example. There’s a condition in combat that occurs when a soldier is completely stressed out and is on the verge of a nervous collapse. In World War I it was called 'shell shock.' Simple, honest, direct language. Two syllables. Shell shock. It almost sounds like the guns themselves. That was more than eighty years ago.
"Then a generation passed, and in World War II the same combat condition was called 'battle fatigue.' Four syllables now; takes a little longer to say. Doesn’t seem to hurt as much. 'Fatigue' is a nicer word than 'shock.' Shell shock! Battle fatigue.
"By the early 1950s, the Korean War had come along, and the very same condition was being called 'operational exhaustion.' The phrase was up to eight syllables now, and any last traces of humanity had been completely squeezed out of it. It was absolutely sterile: operational exhaustion. Like something that might happen to your car.
"Then, barely fifteen years later, we got into Vietnam, and, thanks to the deceptions surrounding that war, it’s no surprise that the very same condition was referred to as 'post-traumatic stress disorder.' Still eight syllables, but we’ve added a hyphen, and the pain is completely buried under jargon: post-traumatic stress disorder. I’ll bet if they had still been calling it 'shell shock,' some of those Vietnam veterans might have received the attention they needed.
"But it didn’t happen, and one of the reasons is soft language; the language that takes the life out of life. And somehow it keeps getting worse."
(George Carlin, Napalm & Silly Putty. Hyperion, 2001)

Early yesterday morning a transient apparently killed another transient at our train station, walked a couple blocks to our police station and started shooting at cop cars. A sheriffs deputy came out to help and he got shot in the face. (Deputy is in stable condition)

3 blocks of downtown was closed for close to 6 hours during the search but they lifted it since they couldn't find him. Around 3 this morning the guy showed up at a gas station a mile or so from downtown and bought an energy drink. The clerk recognized him and called the cops. They've been looking for him since then. We've got 3 different cities worth of cops, SWAT, 2 helicopters and I just heard an FBI search team looking for the guy and still haven't found him. He's allegedly hiding in the riverbed that goes down the middle of the city so there's a lot of hidey holes for him to crawl into and there were reports of shots fired earlier.

Its unclear if our sheriff drew first blood.

He must be wearing an urban ghillie suit

With these homeless people the mental illness is an act. Just like that guy in Buffalo who did a prat fall and then faked blood from his head. Don't be fooled! The left just wants you to have compassion for phonies!!
