This is probably the most prescient episode of Star Trek ever: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Past_Tense_(Star_Trek%3A_Deep_Space_Nine)
Basically Sisko and friends go back in time to America in 2024, where it's illegal to be homeless and they get put in an open air prison.
This seems like a no-brainer to me... though it probably isn't. Obviously you have a constitutional right to sleep, wherever you can make space for yourself. If these cities and downs don't want people sleeping outside, they need to provide indoor space for people who haven't actually committed crimes. We treat our criminals better than we treat our homeless.
fuck their laws, I think, is the ruling here. just fuck them completely. we do not have a society. your conscience is the only guide.
I know this guy who goes to the New York state courthouse everyday to sleep. He doesn't even try to hide. He does it in an occupied court room during a trial, on tax-paid furniture.
And the dude smells like SHIT.
good, the judge deserves to smell some consequence.
it's a shame he doesn't have access to like, a shower or laundry or something.
sorry no that would be communism. I'm glad you understand.
Dangit, communism ruined this, too!
That's right homeless, you can't sleep here. Just go home already.
