Red state governor signs bill cracking down on squatters: 'Best dwelling' for them 'is a jail cell'
Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey signed a bill into law on Monday that strengthens the rights of homeowners against squatters who illegally occupy their property.
You're viewing part of a thread.
Cool. Glad you contributed that. I had no idea that people had reasons for being homeless.
@LookBehindYouNowAndThen You're welcome! ☺️ It's always something to consider when people say "just give the homeless money!" or "just give the homeless people houses!"
I'd love if you point out where I said that.
@LookBehindYouNowAndThen I got the impression that you meant something along those lines when you said:
> make it so people didn’t have to resort to this kind of desperation.
Did you mean something different?
I meant exactly what I said.
You can always go back and reread it if you're confused.
@LookBehindYouNowAndThen I'm not confused at all. Are you confused?
Then I assume the only ways you can think the government can spend money is either giving it directly or arresting people.
What was that about simplistic solutions again?
@LookBehindYouNowAndThen That's generally what people who say things like that mean, yes. Thus my complaint about simplistic solutions.
Did you have a different proposal?
How about getting people the help they need to deal with those issues that you mentioned instead of throwing them in a cage and making it harder for them to be a productive member of society?
@LookBehindYouNowAndThen Like rehab, job training, or mental health services for the homeless? I could definitely get on board with something like that.
@LookBehindYouNowAndThen @realcaseyrollins
People who are broken do not change.
What a smart thought-terminating cliche.
You have so much to teach us.
@amerika @LookBehindYouNowAndThen They never ever change? There's no way that's true.
I just shared a post with an IRL friend about a dude who was homeless and on #heroin and once he got clean, he got a #ComputerScience degree with a 4.0 GPA.
