Los Angeles Hates the Homeless
Los Angeles is one of the most liberal cities in the country. Aren’t liberals supposed to be the ones that care so deeply about the homeless? Havent they found a cure? It seems like the current cure to the homeless problem in Los Angeles is murder.
I don’t know how this popped onto my radar, but I have noticed a bizarre news trend lately involving stabbing and murdering homeless people in or around LA’s skid row. Its a bad trend.
First up: Woman stomped to death on Skid row. By someone that just got parolled from prison. It seems that when you get out of jail in Los Angeles, you get dumped on skid row. I guess LA does this with the intent to eliminate the common urban outdoorsmen.
Next, two homeless guys get stabbed on the same day. The stabbings were not related. Maybe instead of supplying homeless people with shopping carts, LA should supply body armour.
Next, some psycho puts on real steel bladed Freddy Kruger gloves and stabs a homeless man in the chest. As if being homeless doesnt suck enough, movie fans come to hunt you down.
Finally, there is a strange story about how two elderly women are murdering homeless men with their cars in a bizarre insurance scam. They give homeless men apartments in exchange for them signing 19 insurance policies. Once the policies are in place for 2 years, the old ladies run over the men with their cars! And they were arrested when they were selecting their next victims.
One article mentions that there are around 50,000 homeless people in Los Angeles. This liberal town does not really care about the homeless or else they would find a way to deal with the issue. But they refuse to help them. They allow these people to rot in open view of the public.
Mayor Rudy Guiliani cleaned up New York City of its homeless by getting those people help. He got services for the mentally ill. He helped find homes for those that were down on their luck. He sent addicts to drug counsellors. And he outlawed the practice of sleeping on the streets. As he said in a speech here, “A civilized society tries to move people in the direction of self-sufficiency and independence rather than allowing them to deteriorate before our eyes.”
Los Angeles needs to follow New York’s example.
