      Yes and no, while there is a chance of causing harm to others while on drugs more succinct and beneficial procedures exist. I also dont think its such an unpopular opinion as you think it is - as efforts in actually helping drug addicts is quite small worldwide.

          And what happens when they get out? Without a safety net or plans? They go right back to using and being on the streets. It’s not a solution, it just kicks the bucket down the road while extracting forced labor from them.

              Show us how often your car gets broken into and prove it’s not some neighborhood kid and you left the door unlocked.

                  what a response from someone is probably white, grew up in at least middle class and were not affected by outside circumstances, family member dying, medical debt, coming back from war, being too dark for American tastes and just being abused constantly by everyone around them, including police.

                  sure we get angry at people when bad things happen to us, but to blame homeless?

                  i bet you call yourself a christian too eh? im fucking not, god is a hateful fuck, maybe you’re taking the old testament instead of what jesus actually taught.

                  either way, it’s not like they chose to be homeless. show a little empathy now and then instead of screaming at 11 year olds on whatever fifa or cod you’re playing between jackin off.

                  still didn’t post any evidence of your change getting stolen by a homeless person either.

        FYI, this comment has been reported for “promoting violence”. Ordinarily I’d remove it for the “kill yourself” comment, but this seems more of a shitpost than an actual instruction or a promotion of violence. It’s a bit toxic but I’m going to leave it, and downvote & move on.

        Anyone who disagrees, feel free to chime in with your take.

          Right, well, I certainly think my comment is fitting. Original commenter called for violence against unsheltered and disabled people, so I find it kind of strange that my comment would be too far.

          It’s certainly a joke, not intended to convincs them to commit, but I am genuinely telling this person to consider the gravity of the morality they just advocated for. The problem with the violence they just committed is that it is always just to respond in kind, and I don’t think this person seems to understand that. If they’re the one that reported, even funnier. I guess I ought to stick to vague calls for genocide rather than meanness.
