State sanctioned oppression
Posted by Marc Slade on Friday, April 23, 2010
OK so my town passed a law making it illegal to have a tent or a shopping cart in a public park recently - & they have the nerve to say that they are not targeting the homeless. Let me ask you - have you ever seen anyone in the park w/ a tent or a shopping cart that was not homeless? The ticket is supposed to be $500 & most homeless ppl i know don't know where their next meal is comming from let alone how to get their hands on $500 - so what happens? They get harvested for slave labor (community service) & that's just wrong - this is America for GOD's sake! I thought slavery was abolished!
Sometime last year a woman had a court case against the state & it was found that the camping laws were unconstitutional & too vauge, so for 6 months nobody got a ticket for camping w/o a permit. As a result the state removed the bathroom from the park that woman stayed at...
The government keeps trying to chase the homeless from place to place making it illegal to be in the parks from midnight - 6am or so & no sleeping in the park during the day or night, no sleeping at the bus stop - no sleeping in your car; so basically it is illegal to be poor. I feel it is unfair & unreasonable. They keep pushing the people past their limits & not providing them with a place to go. Even if they were to get a permit to camp (there are 2 few parks that allow camping to house all the homeless maybe 2-6% might fit) they only issue them for 5 days a week; so the ppl who bother to get one are still illegally homelss 2 days a week.
A lot of the homeless population are victims of this mortgage crisis - every month hundreds of forclosures are causing hundreds of families to be put out on the street. These are people who used to be "productive members of society" but now that they are homeless they are outcasts, regected by the state that they spent their lives supporting.
Something must be done to help these ppl (only by the grace of GOD i am not homeless atm, i used to be) or else we will be judged as a nation. What everybody knows about Sodom & Gomorrah is that they got destroyed for sodomy (homosexual sex); but what few ppl know is some of the other reasons they were destroyed - look @ Ezekiel 16:49 - "Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy." - so because our country already is promoting or condoning homosexuality (i had a gay day parade in my town) all this oppresion of the poor means that we are copying those who fell b4 us. Like the saying goes "those who don't learn from history are bound to repeat it" - I hope we wake up & realize that when we push other ppl down in the ditch we are only hurting ourselves. So when we get conquored by another nation don't say i didn't warn you!
