I think of it like feeding the birds at a park if you don't want them in your neighborhood don't give them a reason to stay. Now if I was going to help a local church had the idea of zip lock bags filled with travel toothbrush, toothpaste, candy bars. Add water and a couple of bucks if you wish. Hand that out to people standing at the stop lights. I’ve seen a few of those bags tossed aside at freeway off ramps. |

Quote: SEATTLE — A volunteer group called “We Heart Seattle” that cleans up trash from homeless camps and provides outreach is speaking out. They say after picking up thousands of pounds of garbage, city leaders have asked them to stop doing their work. In defiance, the group was back out on Friday picking up garbage around the homeless camp on Shilshole Avenue in Seattle’s Ballard neighborhood. Quote: Andrea Suarez, founder of We Heart Seattle, says she and other volunteers have picked up more than 320,000 pounds of trash over the past year. like I have said a thousand times before and will keep saying it....when you know what the Democrats end game is, NONE of this comes as a surprise. I expect this from them. The end goal is to make all of us homeless! You will own nothing & you will like it. |

Quote: The warming shelter, which was held at the Spokane Convention Center, opened on Dec. 26, 2021, just before a snowstorm swept through the Inland Northwest. The shelter was scheduled to close on Jan. 2 but stayed open until Jan. 9. The shelter served anywhere from 103 to 343 people every night while it was open. The Spokane Public Facilities District, which runs the convention center, needed time to make repairs before upcoming events. According to Woodward, an estimated $90,000 in damage was done to bathrooms, outlets, chairs, and carpet in the convention center. 'Hey, here's a nice warm place to stay so you don't freeze to death' *does almost $100k in damage in 2 weeks* _________________ NO DISASSEMBLE!

Did Hell freeze over today?
I was pleased to see a liberal young lady showing so much intelligence about the homeless problem in Seattle. I think her numbers are off a bit. My drunken six years on the streets homeless friend says that 99% of the homeless have a substance abuse problem. As far as mental illness he says if you're a homeless substance abuser and you aren't showing signs of mental illness then you're doing something wrong. Anyways, It's a good video and the comments are good also. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VcCA20HS5Q0&t=2s SPOILER ALERT: She says 85% are substance abusers |

That’s why giving them stuff, like little homes, condos, etc., only lines the pockets of Dem supporters, and does nothing to alleviate the problem. They’ll bend the rules as long as they can, ‘til they violate them & get kicked out…just like they did with the 10 previous places they lived. |

I think they mis-spelled "Karen"
"Sharon Lee, executive director of the Low Income Housing Institute, which manages 10 tiny house villages in Seattle, said: "We have hoarders.” KOMO News asked Lee about the trash concerns raised by Singh and the allegations of mismanagement. But she abruptly stopped the interview. “I want to speak to your manager and your supervisor because I don’t appreciate this,” she said." https://komonews.com/news/project-seatt ... -neighbors _________________ “Finding ‘common ground’ with the thinking of evil men is a fool’s errand” ~ Herschel Smith "The “A return to First Principles in a Republic is sometimes caused by simple virtues of a single man.

Maybe a #8, that should cover these issues. _________________ Steve Benefactor Life Member, National Rifle Association Life Member, Second Amendment Foundation Patriot & Life Member, Gun Owners of America Life Member, Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms Legal Action Supporter, Firearms Policy Coalition Member, NAGR/NFGR Please support the organizations that support all of us.

She only makes a little over $200,000 a year can't expect her to take any criticism

Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk This ^^^ This is what a lot of the Democratic agenda is. Scream about something, then claim anyone who opposes it hates the earth, hates people, or is a racist. Then have supporters set up companies to receive $$$, and payback for support, and then put some unqualified figure-head in charge, so they can still claim racism if you question where the money goes, or the success of the program. Old, tired script, still works… |
