Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill Wednesday that bans homeless people from setting up tents or sleeping in public spaces, as he compared the issue of homelessness to the chaos of spring break.
So let me get this straight, if I, living in Florida, ever found a fire ant free spot to lay down and relax in a park, I’ll be harassed by cops now? Or is this just for the “shittier” neighborhoods? What about people at the beach?
The current governor and Florida legislature are a bunch of mean spirited bigoted buffoons.
Probably would depend on the color of your skin…
This is just another attempt to harass people they don’t like.
No, it’s worse. If you go sunbathing on the beach and fall asleep, you’re a criminal.
Only if you look homeless. They don’t care about you they just want to harass the already disadvantaged.
This is for the ‘good’ neighborhoods. They’ll be where enforcement happens, and it will be selective.
I think most people know laws like this are worded specifically to be selectively enforced so whichever group is their 30 min hate target of the month is subjugated and fucked with for being an outsider. You can’t legislate away homelessness unless forcing vacant owners to honor section 8 & affordable housing vouchers.
GL finding a fire ant free spot.
Right? lol
