Get Startedmust be because of Trump and republicans
Plenty of resources in America to help everyonr if we didn't have Republicans and Democrats stealing from us all.. One party worst then the other . Need to rise up and get rid of both of them.
This is what I'm talking about. This dude absolutely belongs on the "can not obtain a fire arm ever" registry.
We should really thank and respect the mentally ill homeless for making it so easy to help address the plague of gun violence for making it as easy as it is, or should be, to put them on the "no buy ever list."
It's almost like shooting fish in a barrel.
To be frank, most your military is mentally ill but you freely give them guns.
Being homeless in states with cold wintry temps makes it very difficult to live on the streets year-round, but many still do it somehow. I have spoken to a few who have slept in random abandoned houses, garages, and buildings as much as possible overwinter. Some will commit petty crimes so to spend the coldest months in jail, but doing that too many times, also carries the risk of serving longer sentences as a repeat offender.
this could be the most idiotic statement I have read here in a while. Well done!
A lot of resources go to homelessness.
I live in pretty much the epicenter of homelessness - the geographic San Fernando Valley of the City of Los Angeles.
I encounter homeless people several times a day.
Any homeless person has access to aid, provided both publicly and privately, six days a week and twice on Sunday.
I cannot tell you how many aid centers I pass doing my daily routine.
Homeless people choose to be homeless.
Mental illness plays a huge part in it.
It's a grim reality.
Our local governments have recently passed laws to actually accommodate homeless who choose not to go to shelters to be legally protected to set up encampments in places such as the very sidewalks themselves, along with freeway underpasses and the generally dry river basin drainage structures, and so forth.
I haven't heard it myself, but people I know people who tell me that LAPD officers themselves have told them that there was an unofficial plan to sweep the homeless away from the downtown and out to the Valley, in order to better sell Los Angeles to the International Olympic Committee as the venue for the 2028 Olympics.
Now, more progressive place, such as China and Russia and numerous big hearted forward thinking places like themselves, for example, would deal with the homeless problem in a much more effective and efficient manner.
They would simply sweep those fuckers up, and they'd never be seen nor heard from again.
Okay, fine a large percentage of the US military is mentally ill. How about that?
You should also understand there are many forms of mental illness. Being mentally ill does not mean you cannot function as a human being. Please recall that PTSD is a form of mental disease.

PTSD is just one form of mental illness, there are many out there. Many people with mental illness enlist in the military, others, develop it during service. You must be the most naive person if you don't believe mental illness dosen't affect a large percentage of the military personnel. Not to mention the other large percentage that goes undiagnosed.
My favourite line from the VA "You exhibit all the symptoms of PTSD, however, it is our firm belief you do not have PTSD."
Also from working in states, the veterans are the ones who tend to openly admit they have AR-15s with large stockpiles ammunition at home for "self-defense".
Is it still case in Michigan you don't need a license to own a rifle?
Coincidentally, veterans have a significantly higher rate of mental illness than civilians.
Sorry for triggering you Tom.
If I ever have food on me when I walk by a homeless person, I always offer it to them and they virtually always accept it - except in LA. Or at least in Santa Monica. I was visiting my brother a while back (to attend the Rose Bowl where uofm got pimp slapped by USC after being tied at half). I walked to a bagel place with my brother's girlfriend to get a few dozen bagels and sides for the party bus trip to the tail gate. Along the way back we encountered several homeless people and offered them bagels and every single one of them politely turned us down - even guys that were rummaging through a dumpster for breakfast. It was the weirdest thing.
