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.
Great, so they get free housing and food in prison, right?
Buried lede. You missed the part where it enables concentration camps for the homeless.
More money for the prison complex like they wanted!
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill Wednesday that bans homeless people from existing so better off Floridans don’t have to see the poors so much
Fixed
How much does DeSantis pay from his own paycheck for his housing?
That’s one way of the govt providing housing. It’s the most expensive and stupidest way, but still.
Three hots and a cot Ronda
But at least they get to make them suffer more. That’s the point right?
"more crime more profit " -for profit prisons, probably
Ronnie’s lashing out cause he failed miserably at his pwesident run.
Wasnt even 2nd choice for the GOP behind Trump lmfao
Behind a woman, at that. I don’t think his image ever recovered after the white boots fiasco
What the actual fuck are those things?!
Reminder: Ronnie can’t do shit unless the fascist FL legislature sends him a bill.
The Ronald Vs Donald was such a a let down. I was really hoping for them to get real nasty to each other.
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.
GL finding a fire ant free spot.
Right? lol
This is for the ‘good’ neighborhoods. They’ll be where enforcement happens, and it will be selective.

Probably would depend on the color of your skin…
This is just another attempt to harass people they don’t like.
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.
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.
To be swiftly reversed after Trump’s home is seized.
Well more likely when the courts reverse this, if they reverse this.
Based on his Twitter activity I don’t Trump sleeps. So he won’t have to worry about this.
I wonder if this means political officials can be sued and jailed for allowing homelessness.
Until they get every homeless person off the streets, they will be fined daily and if after 90 days they will be locked up?
How was this moron elected in the first place and why dont i get a shot at it. Cant be worse, really
Florida voters. Does it need any more of an explanation? You don’t get a shot because you’re not in the “in” group (assumption based on the fact that you’re posting here and asking that question specifically). Unfortunately, it could be worse. Much, much worse. But that’s irrelevant.
Ban extreme capitalism.
“DeSantis told reporters, as he signed the bill that will take effect Oct. 1.”
I guess he’s feeling confident over how the Supreme Court is going to rule then…
Hard to imagine how they can overrule Boise but the court has made some strange decisions in recent years.
So where the fuck are they supposed to sleep you cold, heartless shitnuggets?
RTFA. The bill requires municipalities to provide encampments.
You know, so they can concentrate people somewhere. In a centralized camp.
I can already imagine razor wire fencing and a watchtower or two around these public “encampments” soon, you know, for their “safety”.
They can have a motivational slogan above the gate:
Arbeit macht frei
“My grandpa died in one of those camps. He fell from the guard tower.”
- Billy, c. 2063
RTFA. The bill requires municipalities to provide encampments.
And provides funding for the municipalities to create said encampments, right? Surely it doesn’t require those
blue Demonrat controlled citiesmunicipalities to fund such encampments on their own, right?
The goal of this bill is to make it for police to be able to legally harass the homeless. The hope is that if they harass them enough they’ll move to another state and then the government won’t have to deal with it anymore.
In my home state they also use this bill to quell protests. That was the main drive here, to ensure politically active (for the wrong side) could have a felony and lose their right to vote.
We’ve already got the protest part covered in Florida. It’s apparently legal to run over protesters
This.
That’ll stop them! Maybe now they’ll simply get off the streets and buy a house!
It’s big brain time
Cut FL off from the North border and let it sink into the water. It’s pure wasteland and will be covered in a few years anyway.
