FPM:
You get more of what you subsidize.
When you subsidize homelessness as Los Angeles, New York and a number of other cities driving a boom in homelessness have been doing, you get more of it. And you also get more of the crime that comes with it.
The number of crimes in which homeless individuals were listed as suspects increased by nearly 50 percent in the city of Los Angeles in 2018.
Crime data provided by the Los Angeles Police Department showed there were 8,906 crime reports between Jan. 1 and Dec. 1 this year in which a homeless person was listed as the suspect, compared with 5,976 for the same time period in 2017.’
LAPD officials said most concerning were the disproportionate number of homeless individuals listed as suspects in physical attacks that cause serious injuries, described as, “aggravated assaults,” in police records. MORE
Thanks to the ACLU, it is nearly impossible to institutionalize the mentally ill. And drug abuse has become a “victimless crime”,no longer punished by the justice system, so the explosion in the number of homeless is hardly surprising.
Two things overlooked by the Media on purpose in California.
1. We don’t have enough homes for all the Mexican’s They want, and
2 . We don’t have enough Water to Drink ourselves,and the Lib’s know this crap they just don’t recognize it.
I’m sure a lot of them are drug addicts. And I’m sure they are committing crimes against each other.
Crimes way up, up and down California. I pulled in my driveway about 40 minutes ago and there’s some clown smoking a cigarette in a tee shirt in front of my neighbors house. It’s 42 degrees. I texted him and we met at the top of his property. Weird guy had split. No car in sight. Neighbor packs too. It will only get worse in California.
Ahhhh…..the lovely benefits of Liberal Utopia.
Liberal Utopia… where you can bet your bottom dollar
That Venezuela is only a day away!
It works in so many ways: “if you want more of the same behavior, reward it….”
Want more drug-addled, mommies without baby daddies, needing money for her daily hits: pay for it.
Want more uneducated illegals in America, with diseases the home country can’t/won’t treat, no money? Pay for birthright hospital care, housing, food, education, fake jobs…. ….and pay the “humanitarian” orgs enough to pay their bureaucrats $500K plus salaries to make all this happen.
You get more of it. Easy peasy. ….Lady in Red
Geeez you guys, keep it down. If our intellectual superiors in Los Angeles and San Fan Crisco figure out there’s a connection between homelessness and crime, they may reverse course. Portland’s mayor is trying to vacuum up as many bums as possible. If life is no longer easy for California’s bums they’ll migrate to Portland and we already have enough of those kind of people. Many of them have been elected to public office.
