Reply to comment by Due_Jello7503 in Scary experience with a homeless man asking for money in Newport mall. by Friendly_Listen6216

The biggest reason there are homeless is due to wealth inequality, low wages, expensive housing and a very small safety net. All things the horrific GQP party is against fixing. Fuck the shitty republicans that have zero critical thinking ability that vote these scheisters into office.

No , homelessness is because of drugs, alcohol and mental illness.

They do, they are tough on crime hire more police and support law enforcement.

The Blue hat morons introduce bail reform so perps can commit hundreds of crimes and get released and commit them again over and over again, they defund police and prosecute officers for doing their jobs. When NYPD went to take down homeless tents dems took a knee and got arrested and they weren’t even homeless.

This is what you want ya got it!!

I would have to disagree. Republicans just want to throw as many people in jail as possible just so they can pretend they are doing something without addressing the actual problem. Also, majority of Democrats were against defunding the police. They just want accountability.

That is solving the problem! If people can’t figure out their issues and get their lives together then they should not be free to roam in society! People should not have to be afraid of someone pushing them in front of a subway.

Mental illness is part of it but I included that - the GQP wants no social safety net for those types of things. The fact you don't think actual economics plays any factor in homelessness is insanity. But typical of ignorant right wingers that are just taking this country down by having zero ability to critically think.

Mental illness is something one has to deal with on their own. No one’s going to give you a magic pill to cure mental illness, this is impossible .I have seen it countless times with my job and my own family members. If you want to lecture me about mental illness go for it. I was a victim of domestic violence, child abuse and other violent crimes I chose to no longer be a victim and I took the NYPD exam and now have 15+ years on the job.

Oh great, a cop who thinks nobody might need help to get back up on their feet. Sorry, but the world doesn't work that way. We all live on the same planet and it takes a community effort to make things better along with individual effort. I in no way implied that mental illness can be cured with a magical pill, it's a process. And the fact you think nobody else deserves any support in doing so because supposedly nobody helped you at all, is really sad. So you got zero support from anything eh? Absolutely zero government or community programs? Did you live on the streets? How did you afford a place to live when you were going through all that stuff?

With that attitude I can safely guess you are not the kind of cop we need on the streets. I feel bad for the fewer good cops who get shit because it seems they are surrounded by cops that don't get it - and your attitude exemplifies it.

No one’s coming to save you. No matter how many Ukrainian flags you pin to your chest, people will still die there.
