Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire don't profile homeless people

That's funny, Liberals eating Liberals.

LOL. "Ways to help the homeless" "Need more resources". When do you think they it will click that "helping" the homeless increases the homeless population?

Never mind...it's Portland.

A real good public flogging, would help the mayor solve the problem. I recommend an ugly stick fishing pole to make the hide stand up and take notice.

Whenever anyone complains about cops "profiling" I ask what the dang problem is with trying to focus investigative resources on likely culprits. I don't give a crap if it's unfair...so is having to deal with criminals.

At the end, the reporter says, "That independent police review, by the way, will take several months..."

Which is nothing more than an excuse to do nothing for several months - nothing, that is, but paying the reviewers to sit in a room, dreaming up recommendations that anyone with a brain could produce in a week.

Of course, in several months, no one will remember this news story, and the problem will just go on, and on, and on, until the next outrage over homelessness, and next "independent review".

Just because a man is riding a bike at night without a headlight doesn’t mean he’s homeless. This is a myth perpetuated by the internet.

Portland used to be a nice city.Wow that sure changed.

Those with initiative are accross the river in Washington. You can pick up bottles out of the trash in Washington, then peddle accross the bridge on I5 to Portland and sell them for the deposit. It's a effin show in the morning watching a guy trying to peddle a bicycle over the bridge with somewhere between 4 and 6 blg sacks of bottles tied on.

It goes down hill from there.

Water canons and late night beatings would have that [bleep] cleared up in a week. So sick of bleeding heart knts trying to save the lost drug addicted POS.

Let’s say we spend that money on kids that want and are smart enough to be Dr and such. Let the trash rot.

They’ll try and tax their way to homelessnessless. 😁

Had a hard time getting past the eyebrows on the dude reporting from the street. Yeeeeeesh...

Saw a guy in downtown Denver wrassling a 10 foot tree to the ground 2 weeks ago. Someone yelled at him to stop and he did. Strange sheit.

I’m glad I don’t live there!

Holy schidt those things were sloshing around all over the place.

We have a bunch of Seattle area folks working at the on-shore processor here and they've pretty much said that Seattle is also a homeless cesspool and the police are forbidden from cleaning it up.

Nothing is finer than the open hand and the generous heart that's prompt free and unselfish giving. But modern social science knows, also, that ill directed charity is often directly responsible for encouragement of pauperism and mendicancy.
The best service we can do for the needy and the unfortunate is to help them in such manner that their self respect, their ability to help themselves, shall not be injured but augmented.
Nobody is necessarily out merely because he is down. But, being down, nobody gets up again without honest effort of his own.
The best help that benevolence and philanthropy can give is that which induces everybody to help himself.
Calvin Coolidge

In the Bible's book of Acts, the disciples set up sort of Christian communes where everyone shared everything. I get the impression that they did it on their own since Jesus was no longer with them. It didn't work any better than communes today. They had their share of grifters, there for what they could get without working for it. It prompted Paul to make his well known statement that those who won't work won't eat.

I learned a new word today. Mendicancy.

Enabling does not work. Time for a new tactic.
