It's illegal to save a person's life by prescribing drugs or performing surgery without government approval.
It's illegal to stand idle in an empty unowned field with nobody around without government approval: they need citizenship.
It's illegal to build your own vehicle and use it, and even to build and operate a flying machine without government permission to use the airspace.
You aren't allowed to swim, fish, hunt, dig, collect firewood, collect scrap metal, urinate in a polluted river, defecate in the grass or lie down anywhere for an extended period of time.
Ultimately, it is illegal for a person to be a living creature in any capacity outside of their house.
I won't be surprised if eating and drinking outside becomes illegal soon.
They'll claim it promotes littering and endangers wildlife, the same wildlife that self same governemnt is ruthlessly exterminating everywhere else for profit.
One can only imagine what kind of people were issuing the "complaints", referenced by the City Councilor - and what their legitimacy and basis were...
There's an ever-growing and well-funded movement of H8rs - who oppose the unHoused (as if they were any more of a monolith, than the Housed population), for any number of reasons - many of them imaginary or aesthetic. Any effort to offer assistance to the unHoused is opposed, under the misguided notion that the provision of services 'attracts' or creates unHoused people. As the pastor pointed out - these people are dying on the streets, without the shelter he was providing, consistent with his faith.
Yep...upon looking more into the city's policies, the general approach has been "clear them out," whereas this church is very focused on offering support and a path out of the cycle of homelessness and addiction.
And believe it, or not... Not ALL of the unHoused are addicted to drugs, or mentally ill.
Here in Venice Beach, there's a huge crisis of Affordability and people being Rent Burdened, by the effects of REITs, Corporate profits and Real Estate speculation ('House Flippers'). Jimmy Dore mentioned a statistic the other day, about how every $100 increase in the median rental rate, equates to a certain number of new unHoused people.
Clearly the CIA and their Cartels have assured that the streets will be awash in drugs...and people in rough situations will often grab for anything, that can ease their suffering... But is Mental Illness contagious? Is there a Mental Illness Plandemic, now, too? Or are Apartments that used to rent for something like $500 a month, that now rent for $2500 or more, part of the equation.
Aaron Glantz wrote an interesting book about how Obama's bailout of Wall Street and the banks, with TARP, came directly at the expense of Main Street... massively enriching wealthy predators like Steve Mnuchin, while pushing 100's of thousands of working Americans, out into the street. It's called "Home Wreckers".
It didn't stay up forever… but there was this, too. The major forces behind this, are Big Real Estate, and Developers. That probably explains why the SCOTUS essentially reversed many decades of case law, with the Grant's Pass Decision. Newscum (a child of rightwing ‘Old Money'), and LA's bought-and-paid-for City Council, were quick to file Amicus briefs, on that one.
Another example of lacking "separation of church and state"
Another example of government being inconsistent with their own stated rules (the constitution)
Another example of government failing at their 1 job (to protect our rights)
It's important for them to stop you from feeding and caring for the homeless.
A homeless person is someone who's opted out of the system.
If we help them out too much, if those homeless people start to be accepted by society and treated with humanity, then government loses its leverage, its ability to "kick you out of society".
This is also another example of nations behaving as corporations. They treat all land like their private property. They treat their citizens like their employees. They treat homeless people like criminals.
And finally, this is an example of how government is inconsistent with traditional Christian values (that they claim to be based upon) of charity and kindness towards those in need.
Other fun facts.

It's no accident or coincidence - that the same plans are being implemented, across California, all at once…

If it looks like class warfare, walks like class warfare, and quacks like class warfare; it is a queer duck indeed.
