  1. …it’s sad, but it’s pretty common.

    I don’t see a time index. The saying “nothing good happens at 2 AM” isn’t exclusive to Philly, but applies for ALL Democrat cities.

    And most cites are Democrat cities.

    …but it is pretty disturbing. So fix it, or leave.

    These folks are doing neither.

    And that is their own choice.

  2. That is what stands for compassion with progressives. It is absolutely, unequivocally and universally what the wicked and evil bastards support and vote to not only enable, but encourage. To deny this and concede good intentions to anyone who at this date is not familiar with where “progressive” policies lead whenever and wherever the subhuman pieces of shit achieve critical mass and are able to implement their agenda. To not recognize this for what it represents at this point is to be complicit.

  3. In a few years that will be all of us. Don’t worry, our betters will be eating the steak that they deprive us of and be sleeping in their nice warm beds.

  4. Look at what democRATz have brought us! Look at what democRATz have cultivated, encouraged and enabled! democRATz will tell you that they care if these people are disenfranchised from voting, but they obviously don’t give a shit if they are disenfranchised from life!
    Fuck Joe Biden and fuck all democRATz!

  5. I’m thankful that I live 80 miles from the nearest dem controlled city. It’ll get bad everywhere eventually though, I have no doubt. Prepare. Eyes open, no fear…

    …believe what you want to believe.

    But every man is ultimately responsible for his own salvation.

    No man is responsible for the salvation of another.

    As true in life as it is in the hereafter.

    I can’t make you accept it.

    But you can’t do a thing to change it.

  7. Ah. Fnucky has a conscience. I hear that’s admirable. Never had use for one myself.

    However Fnuckford brings up an interesting topic. Are we to blame for the degradation of our own lives. I see fnuckys point. Circumstances of life etc… But I think that at some point you have to take responsibility for the crack pipe in your mouth or the drug tracks up your arm.

    I dunno’. Most homeless people I’ve met have something wrong with them. Hard to say which came first. The mental illness or the homelessness.

    In such instances I usually rely on historical fact. Historical fact says these people, for whatever reason, are the dregs of society. Fascism has a solution for them. Democracies don’t.

    Chew on that for a while.

  8. Does anyone know why some of them are bent over near touching the ground?
    I’ve seen that in other videos in different cities. Some dudes were walking slow that way. Its bizarre.

    “However Fnuckford brings up an interesting topic. Are we to blame for the degradation of our own lives. I see fnuckys point. Circumstances of life etc…”

    …yes, people are born into bad circumstances. People fuck up. People make bad choices as kids (I certainly did).

    But the opportunity is always there to pull up your pants and take some responsibility for youself.

    I could get a ham sandwich a job at the plant right now if it would show up every day. There are services to provide that ride too. And drugs are not the problem they should be, or I wouldn’t be making a second career out of pumping on someone’s chest every couple of months now. Other day one of the bosses was pissed because two guys came back from break stinking like Cheech and Chong coming back from Juarez. They were provided by a temp service so he complained to them. I’m told their handler just looked at him, shrugged her shoulders, and said “you can have them, or no one, we’ve got no one else”.

    Labor shortage. If you have a pulse, you’re gold. And if you lose your pulse, you’re welcome back if you find it again. But you DO have to be willing to show up.”

    “But I think that at some point you have to take responsibility for the crack pipe in your mouth or the drug tracks up your arm.”
    …Indeed. no one *has* to do drugs. And there’s a TON of rehab services, paid by taxes or by the company EAP. And they can’t fire you if you say your seeking treatment.

    “I dunno’. Most homeless people I’ve met have something wrong with them. Hard to say which came first. The mental illness or the homelessness.”
    …but we HAD institutions for this. Democrats shut them down because someone was mean to Jack Nicholson in a movie once. I was there for deinstitutionalization, and believe me, Jack and his Indian friend were WAY better off, shocks and all, than in the bullshit slapdash “group homes” THESE folks got turned out to, and the neighborhoods were CERTAINLY better off not having psychpathic arsonists they weren’t even told about living right next door.

    The answer is to roll back 50 years of Democrat damage, and kill the Democrat who mouths compassion but only at the expense of OTHER people. You feed stray cats, you get MORE stray cats. Folks could figure this out in our grandparents’ generation because they HAD to. Taking the pressure off…just makes people lazy.

  10. Pretty sad shit when you stop to think these people are receiving Federal and State assistance so they may more better support the local drug dealers. Cut off the fucking money. Put up with the three month crime explosion. After that they will be gone.

  11. History is like a long chain of dominoes. No one ever really takes the time to see whats at the end of the domino chain before knocking that first one over.

    Well, here we are at the end of this particular domino chain. Fixing this problem starts a new domino effect. I somewhat hope we make better decisions this go round.

    I just doubt it, historically speaking.

  12. What was wrong with shock treatment, lobotomies, beating people with sand-filled sections of garden hose, and/or hitting them with the fire main?

  13. Burr, Libtards like to say, All politics are local. Ergo all solutions are local. And I’m convinced that’s where it starts amigo. Cut off all moneys.

    “What was wrong with shock treatment, lobotomies, beating people with sand-filled sections of garden hose, and/or hitting them with the fire main?”

    …not saying there weren’t problems with institutions. Pretty much the SAME problems they have in nursing homes NOW.

    But you can move to fix the problems without destroying the system and creating a DIFFERENT set of problems that affect far more people, many who don’t KNOW they are affected until the unwatched crazy next door sets their house on fire.

    Some people can’t live in society. So the answer is…let them live under a bridge?

    And shock therapy is still available when they try to steal live electric cables.

    Lobotomies are on tap at every government funded school.

    Antifa, et.al., has found MUCH worse things to hit people with than sand filled garden hoses.

    And the fire hose thing in this country kind of went out of style with those ’50s civil rights videos.

    …the group homes were just as abusive as the institutions, just in different ways. And the streets are more abusive than either.

    But is it better for the insane to be in institutions, on the street, teaching children in schools, cutting off the penises of 3 year old boys because they wore Mommy’s shoes once, or running the Federal goverment?

    …there’s a LOT of different degrees and flavors of insane.

    But the one thing they have in common is that they are a danger to themselves and others.

    What we’re doing isn’t working.

    Maybe time to do something else.

  15. Who is in the mental hospital? In “duh olden days” it was mostly voluntary. Self inflicted dipshits like we see today with dick removals and titty redactions.

    Crazy people were generally killed in the line of duty.

  16. Well….the solutions offered here don’t seem to be in line with traditional values, much less western democracies.

    Hhhmmm. I wonder what that “other way” that SNS mentioned could be?

    “Who is in the mental hospital? In “duh olden days” it was mostly voluntary. ”

    …well, sometimes family members could have you committed, and sometimes your wife could, and you can see where problems can arise from that…

    …but right now we have the Caligula standard. Caligula was fully psychopathic, but as Emperor he set the standard fir sanity, thus defining the sane as crazy and the crazy, sane.

    …look who’s making the calls NOW.

    …if Pedo Joe or San Fran Nan are the standard of sane, then what do you call INsane?

  18. People went to Danvers because they jerked off too much. How can you do that? And who can tell you you did it too much?

  19. Bradly H.Crookercroker!!

    We’re looking for solutions. These are human beings. Granted, the two seem at loggerheads, but I’m sure we can come up with something that doesn’t involve fire hoses and electroshock therapy.

    I’m not advocating for anything other than a humane, boring, expensive and tedious way out of this mess.

    I am very aware that the easy solutions advocating direct action usually leads to jackbooted thuggery and colorful mandatory parade attendance.

    Personally, I could go either way. I am, after all, a monster.

    I’m just fulfilling my contractual obligations with THE LORD to mention the possible spiritually crushing downside to pursuing such a course of action that leads to the suffering and death of the great unwashed.

  20. Burr, You’re a good man. As I always secretly suspected. How do you break this cycle? That the Obamanation started by the way. Nobody wants to see these people suffer, who are not all drug addicts by the way. But the drug addicted are causing most of the issues right now. You can’t expect different results continually using the same methods. Cut off the money! Yesterday.

  21. You’re asking me how to break this cycle?

    No ones ever asked me before. Plus, my role is more like a Cassandra character from Greek mythologies. Cursed to forever speak the truth but never believed.

    But I’ll give it a shot. Even though no ones said what they want as an end result.

    I would reconstitute the CCC. Sweep the unwanted off the streets and ship them somewhere where they can enjoy the fruits of an honest days labor contributing to the greater welfare of society.

    Forced sterilization for welfare recipients. Private contractors hired to target trap houses and exterminate bases of operation for drug distribution.

    Suspension of Miranda rights and habeus corpus.

    Re-education camps.

    Extreme extra judicial punishment for public officials.

    Oh I’m a good man alright. The very best at achieving results.

  22. Dang, Burr just outed himself as a very Liberally Minded fellow. Yea, what ever. Just cut off the money. I’m telling you it’s the only way to prevent where you almost ended up.

  23. Comrade Bradovitch, I do not doubt your sincerity or your commitment to Party ideals. I simply doubt the efficacy of your Hobbsian solution.

    You want people to starve and then what, fight each other in the streets for that last hit of dope?

    I say, as exciting as that sounds, I doubt in it’s implementation. The apparatus of the State never contracts,it only expands. My solutions simply give something for FedGov to do while keeping it’s citizenry occupied. Idle hands are the Debils tools.

  24. You all want the streets clean because you find human suffering to be unaesthetic.

    No one wants to deal with the root causes of these peoples torment.

    I’m just want to put a shovel in their hands instead of a grave marker above their heads.

  25. Mental illness and drug addiction. Neither societal ill has a simple drastic solution. Whether people are saints or not is surely not for me to judge. Much less the State. However, they are people and not cattle. The Bible explains all this. Somewhere in the middle….

    The point is, if you empower the state to “take care” of these people, whatever that means. Then there’s no reason for the State o not “take care” of….YOU.

    I told you it’s all a domino effect. Be careful which one you knock over in your pursuit of justice or aesthetics, or whatever it is that motivates people.

  26. OK, That was a non answer. Let’s talk about the Domino effect. It can’t Domino to far or your getting into the part of society that actually produces shit. Makes money. Pays taxes. It the domino is headed for academia, I’m all for it.
    I’m out, we’ll discuss this over a beer when I get out there.

  27. A non answer?

    Mental illness and drug addiction. I may have miss typed it above.

    You just don’t like the answer because it’s not neat and simple or something that can be shot.

    I don’t want to shoot hardly anybody. I do however, want to provide a baseline of humanity for people to aspire to that are currently trapped in the never ending miasma of mental illness compounded with drug addiction.

    My solution is probably brutal. And? I have no qualms with it.
