Freddie the freeloader


Pete

Recommended Posts

OAKLAND, Calif. — Freddie lives in a hole in Oakland. The middle-aged, longtime heroin addict has no running water, electricity or a bathroom. He does have six pigeons and a feral cat that keep guard over his belongings and hiss at strangers who get too close. He sleeps on a bed of trash and his open-air home is a hodgepodge of reminders that Freddie is not OK. He spends most days cleaning up the sidewalk opposite his home. On days when the drugs really kick in, he can be seen sweeping dirt from one side of a dirt lot to the other.

There are a lot of Freddies in Oakland — people who are down on their luck or pushed out of their homes and struggling with mental illness who find it easier to turn to drugs than face reality.

The homeless issue is almost an impossible one to solve.   Many homeless don't want help.   Many want to live the life on the streets with drugs and virtually no societal responsibilities.

I often think we should use old football or baseball stadiums and let them gather there and live.   Deliver drugs and food free of charge.  At least it gets them off the streets and has bathrooms.

I say make " WORK CAMPS ". Give them the option of living at the work camp, out of sight, out of mind, or state prison. 

If this shit keeps up, EVENTUALLY we will see vigilante law. You will see these people getting gunned down. 

Imagine, YOUR FAMILY MEMBER doused with feces!!
