Maybe running a political party off of hate wasn’t such a good idea.
oops!
This is why we need to ban hurricanes.
If you feel the urge to argue for collective punishment just shut the fuck up. Saying ‘you reap what you sow’ in this case is regressive and cruel. Fascists enacted this law undemocratically and many people, human beings that you should have empathy for, are effectively held captive by the GOP which has heavily gerrymandered Florida and engaged in voter suppression and disenfranchisement. Think critically for a second and direct your criticism at the right people.
Literally the post above this one in my feed.
This is exactly the problem with running on “fuck you, got mine”. Side A bans homelessness. Side A ends up homeless somehow. Side B, because they aren’t running on hate, has sympathy for the circumstances Side A (and B) have found themselves in and helps. Side A faces no consequences ever (hyperbole). Side A doubles down on banning homelessness.
I’m not trying to argue against what you’re saying but fuck does this system suck.
Yup. I will, however, feel less empathy for the people who did vote for these policies
You reap what you sow.
The people who actually sowed this are only going to reap a few extra weeks of complaining, “the poors are making the streets so ugly, why won’t the police arrest them faster?”
Kinda fucked for the people that didnt sow, but yeah, the ones that did shall enjoy the reaping.
Especially true for those rightwing religious nuts. Their book tells them Hosea 8:7: “For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind.”

No. These people voted to make homelessness illegal and now they’re all homeless. What are they gonna do now? Arrest everyone? Fucking do it. Let the people who voted for the scum that passed these laws face the fucking music.
Man who tf goes around enforcing these laws after a disaster. Imagine some wack ass old white guy ticketing people outside of the FEMA medical station for loitering.
Nah, it’ll be some 28 year old wannabe Punisher wearing Oakleys whose weekend activities include watching football and abusing his girlfriend.
I can see you haven’t interacted with many police in these areas. I wouldn’t be surprised in the least by any of that behavior. The cops only protect and serve property, not people.
I never once expressed disbelief.
While the law includes exceptions during emergencies like major storms, those protections end when the hurricane order is no longer in place.
The article never explains the title.
Ya because people can just pick up the shattered pieces of their lives on the governments timeline. They’ll remove the hurricane order way too soon resulting in additional people being imprisoned or removed from their “homes” and their land will be sold off to a golf course or oil company.
I mean, I think it does. A hurricane order expires shortly after the storm is over. It can take months for new shelter to be provided for those that lose their homes. Some people might prefer just to live out of their RV or a tent or whatever to save money while new living arrangements are figured out.
Sure it’s Floriduh, but suspend the law for a year already.
Bwahahahahaha. Man, you just gotta enjoy the irony.
