RedState:L.A. County’s Department of Health released a report Friday showing that deaths among the homeless shot up 56 percent during the pandemic’s first year, tallying a staggering 1,988 deaths. COVID was not the main cause for the spike, however—drug overdoses were.
Los Angeles has seen a dramatic rise in homelessness in recent years, with the population growing by 50 percent from 2015 to 2020, to a total of 66,436. Tents crowd sidewalks and dilapidated RVs cluster beneath overpasses.
The biggest congregations are downtown, where tent cities stretch for block after block in a dystopian scene, making it nearly impossible to enter local businesses. more
That worthless POS pictured looks like she’s dead. She’s nothing more than a cadaver. As for the homeless, well, we all will die from something, it’s their choice. Life can be cruel.
One way or another, depression plus fentanyl is a deadly combo.
So the LA county director of public health is herself homeless? Looks like it.
Build it and they will come.
You have a straight supply line from the southern border, nice winter weather, full govt bennies and a luxury shorting gallery in the park. A junkies dream.
Well, at least it looks like LA has figured out a way to eliminate the homeless. That’s democrat compassion for you.
How come no ones invented a drug that makes you put on a suit and tie and work 8 hours a day?
“Jensen, how’s it goin’?”
“I finished the Cortez account and got ahead on next quarters reports.”
“That’s fantastic.”
“Nah, I’m high as fuk.”
Ghastly. It’s the ghost of Jacob Marley appearing in LA to scare all the little children to death.
Rattle those chains for me baybee!
So, the kill rate is only about 3% per annum. If California doesn’t wise up soon, the Chinese aren’t going to buy it.
burr, they had that in the 80s. they called it “cocaine”.
That looks like the Dude from “Tales of the Crypt Keeper”.
Anyways, she/it is reducing the A.P.S.I. # and that is probably good.
LESS ASSHOLES PER SQUARE INCH index
The problem rests in Democrat policies which increase poverty & Homelessness, and that is definitely VERY BAD for the future.
@Kcir, my brain was trying to process who that hag looks like. You said it for me, thanks!!!
She is The Fourth Horseman of the Apocalypse.
She has to be made up by Special Effects artists. No one can be that but ugly unless they are made to be!
It isn’t a flattering picture, intentionally. The ‘flattering’ pictures of the (woman?) could certainly knock a maggot off a shit wagon.
Walter, Walter, Walter….You put a smile on my face ! 🙂
When are the hacks running that city going to croak?
According to page 5 of https://tinyurl.com/LA-County-Mortality-2017,
the death rate per 100,000 in LA County in 2017 was 590 or 0.59%.
The homeless death rate in LA County in CoVID Year One was 1,988 / 66,436 or 2.99%
Carry the one, (i.e. 2.99% / 0.59%,) and the death rate for homeless people in LA County in 2020ish was about FIVE TIMES the overall death rate in LA County in 2017.
It sucks to be homeless, even in LA County.
