RE: Second class citizens, how america's homeless are criminalized.
For the past couple of years this bill has died in committee, it is likely to happen again.
The legislature here is only interested in serving those who are greasing palms.
Really? It died in committee? wow Do you have private prisons in Oregon? I ask, because here in Oklahoma we do, and they have quotas. The state has to pay a penalty when they fall below a certain occupancy. It's moronic, and criminal, in and of itself. I guess people are starting to ask questions, like, "With all this surveillance, why is there still crime?"
They need to invent a new kind of crime that people can't do anything about. It's hella hard to pull yourself out of homelessness. It's all about the money, you are so right. And yet, some people seem to have plenty of it. ;)
In the usa rights have been for those select few who own property, it's the basis of rights in the constitution.
Even now owning land is the basis for rights.
