[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wouldn’t it just be easier to get people homes, education, and healthcare. Wouldn’t it just have been easier to give Alice the proper mental health care that every human deserves?

We can’t fix issues with cops, we need to fix them with treating people as humans.[/quote]

What if Alice didnt want the care? Would you force it on her?

Because that is the reality for many homeless. [/quote]

They would not have refused it as children, or in the beginning. You think Alice didn’t need grace as a young child, transgender people have been treated terribly forever.

I do think in certain situations guardians should be appointed (like Brittany Spears) But we could provide homes and food. Every situation is different. Homelessness is nonexistent in some areas for Veterans because people care enough to provide proper care and homes.

Give them blankets? How about give them a home.

It’s not all that complicated if we actually cared about it.[/quote]

If you think giving Alice a home would have solved the problem, you are sadly mistaken. What he/she/it/they/them/zer/zhe/et. al be able to take care of the home or (whatever pronoun)self? So, now we send a daily caretaker. At some point, you will need to realize that some people can't be left on the streets. They at least will need 24x7 rehabilitation before they can be be "left alone." That's what we would do if we cared. But we did this before and people are afraid the same mistakes will be made, so they favor a different set of mistakes. However, no one has been locked up against their will so it's all good. They are just imprisoned by their own behavior. [/quote]
