I became homeless to own the libs, MAGA!
Once again, don't you have a tattoo appointment?I became homeless to own the libs, MAGA!
Ever since Colorado legalized marijuana, the homeless rate increased 3 fold. Most are juveniles (for some reason a lot of them are from Houston) and vets seeking ptsd treatment. It's a drain on the city budget and resources yet it's sad to see people living on the street especially with brutal winter we've had this year. So what is one to do......ELP is mild compared to Austin, and Austin is nothing compared to Denver.
Him being black is irrelevant to this....There’s a black guy that sits on a bench on the Durango Street bridge leading to Southwest University Park always asking for money. He’s been there for every Chihuahuas game for the past five seasons. Last Saturday he was there too for the Locomotive game. This guy has quite a little tax free enterprise going. I just ignore him.
Thats odd lol, how are houstonians landing over thereEver since Colorado legalized marijuana, the homeless rate increased 3 fold.

We should open the borders and let more people in. Afterall, it's the humane thing to do. We need more people living on the streets cuz like, we don't have enough already...
Can we not be political asses about this? I'll hold my fire for the sake of being pleasant.We should open the borders and let more people in. Afterall, it's the humane thing to do. We need more people living on the streets cuz like, we don't have enough already...
"The good, the bad and the ugly" when politicians get aggressive with the homeless. I gave you one example that happened in El Paso when the chief got aggressive. The city turned on him. In Hawaii, one took it to another level in 2013 and in 2015 he literally got his head bashed in by the homeless. https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/06/30/tom-brower-beaten-hawaii_n_7698086.html
We put a price on people in this country (slavery). We abolished slavery and allowed child labor during reconstruction and into early 20th century and turned a blind eye to the underground railroad to help build american infrastructure. El Paso has tunnels under Sunset Heights that were part of the UR. No president pushed a call to spirit to rebuild the country until shit happened and FDR created programs for all to get back to work. Jim Crow reared it's ugly head and the north was just as bad as blacks went to Chicago and the Burroughs up north. Mexicans lived on site near the crops they worked ( Bracero program was not in effect yet) and settled the southwest and So Cal in numbers just like the Germans, Irish and Italians much earlier. Uncle Sam said if you fight for me, I'll send you to college and path to citizenship (which was and still is a lie if you have a minor felony). American pushed a "See Dick or Jane run!" culture. Sad part his, humanity does not work this way. It doesn't "take a village" or "I'm my brother's keeper" goes so far. Villages shun people for whatever reason and my brother hates my f'en guts: Christians thrown out of their church for being gay or transgender. Women assaulted then turned on when they seek help from law enforcement or proper authorities. Even worse if it's a person of influence or power. Those with special needs: Full disclosure, this one hits home but I literally get ill seeing the football program getting new digs, new weight lifting equipment....a new college like stadium and yet special needs diag's get axed or thinned due to budget reasons. Special needs child is on a specific diet and the cafeteria fights it (yes, it happens in El Paso) but the qb needs to bulk up, the O lineman needs to trim down and accommodations are made. That is shunning our village. You see, they can't produce or run the front POS system, therefore, they don't have that much value. Now, you're a young child with learning problems. He gets no help, but needs help. He is picked on. He gets a tough skin and talks with switchblade mouth. By late twenties, he is addicted to alcohol at the very least and once divorced. He got back from Iraq and fighting demons. He gets no help just like he didn't in high school. He is doing everything now. He calls a former girlfriend. He's broke, confused, depressed, can't learn his job like his boss wants. He has a gun in his hand. She begs "DON'T". Silence after getting her ear drums blown out through her cell phone.
You all get my drift? You have no value, you have no worth. You have no worth, you feel like you have no soul. Let's stop buying all the ammo we can possibly get and do you really need that F-250 or bigger when a F-150 can do just fine? You don't need a Glock. Go to animal rescue and get a dog. Your "herding" breeds do nicely watching the Ponderosa while you're away. We all love America? Tell your state and federal congressional reps to actually support family farms! I'm married into a family farm. The state and feds stick it where the sun doesn't shine. And yes, they really do feed the world but yet a farmers yield is a nice "bargaining chip" when we....wait for it....wait for it....Bingo! When we got to war.
Where did all these homeless come from? We created the problem. They just follow the money and the sun. Nothing has changed coming out of the civil war. Grampy had a good job and nice tract home working at Asarco. We now want El Paso to be a real big city with The Cheesecake Factory on the west side. It comes with a price.
Or maybe they’re homeless cuz all those people crossing the border took their jobs...We should open the borders and let more people in. Afterall, it's the humane thing to do. We need more people living on the streets cuz like, we don't have enough already...
Well, there are theories, but they are just theories.If we would treat everyone with dignity, and we all would abide by your laws, this country would be a much better place.
For some reason the hate has overwhelmed our country!!
Does anyone know why? More important what can we do to change it?
1st sentence yes yes yes.If we would treat everyone with dignity, and we all would abide by your laws, this country would be a much better place.

Lol that is stupid, illegals are not taking any jobs americans want to do. Illegals come in and work cleaning, fast food or in the fields....Quit blaming illegals for americans being lazy if they really wanted a job they could get it. I live in the rgv which is 90% hispanic and about 80% of the panhandlers are white. The hispanic homeless here usually will offer you a service or will be selling food etc to make money instead of just straight up asking for money. Im really young so ive worked in fast food recently before i got into the oil industry and trust me homeless who really want a job can go get it. I have witnessed lt and they get hired. Also let me guess you blame illegals for americans wanting to do drugs.... cmon now us as americans need to stop blaming illegals.Or maybe they’re homeless cuz all those people crossing the border took their jobs...
In my defense, I was just being a smart ass. I honestly don't think either political side is to blame, nor do I notice more homeless people than before either. Like I mentioned in a previous comment (which everyone seems to have missed), the influx to the UTEP area is a direct result of the rescue mission being torn down. It was in close proximity to UTEP. I heard many people wondering where those folks would go. Well, there ya go...Can we not be political asses about this? I'll hold my fire for the sake of being pleasant.
there's nothing "lol" about the homeless. Most of the influx was driven by delusional dreams of striking it rich in the marijuana industry.Thats odd lol, how are houstonians landing over there
Problem is all the government handouts have made us lazy. Why work when you know the government is not going to let you starve, and will put a roof over your head for almost nothing.Lol that is stupid, illegals are not taking any jobs americans want to do.

So the homeless are victims of American society?
let's also keep in mind that many of these "poor" homeless folk do it because they enjoy that lifestyle. I've known dudes like that.
Some people do the 9-5, others would rather beg for money and drink and do drugs all day. Im not sure which is the more appealing lifestyle myself, honestly...
That’s a fair point. There was a guy who used to sit and beg near Montwood and George Dieter back in the day and he lived in a house down the street from my mother in law. For him, panhandling was a full time job and at the end of the day he just went home to his house.
Seen it alot lol at the gas stations, mom comes in with kids all dirty gives story then leaves in huge f250 super duty
