For those with brains. In the case of the zoo mob, that’s debatable.

This is a false dichotomy and reflects a dystopian wet dream. I’ll choose doubling or tripling down on compassion and care. It’s what I’d want if I ever end up in their shoes.

Go away. You do not belong in America.

I was born here. This is as much my country as it is yours.

Maybe you should go away instead. I’ll help you pack.

I don't buy it. Your attitude is 100% UNAMERICAN at a very fundamental level. Go away -- there are plenty of other countries out there that could accommodate you without changing their government or society AT ALL. Go there. We don't like people like you here.

I’m every bit as American as you. And I’m smarter than you, because I can at least articulate my thoughts beyond “UNAMERICAN”, unlike you. You are the exact type of mouthbreathing, low-forehead moron motivated by silly jingoistic phrases like “freedom and liberty”. You don’t even know what the concept means. You just want your pick up truck, football games, American flags, guns and trump. That’s how you define “liberty”. It’s ridiculous.

The reality is we are living in the movie “Idiocracy”. When people can do anything they want, the stupidest people will avail themselves to the stupidest things, and the rest of us have to deal with the consequences of that. I’m tired of that. Crime, violence, bad elected officials, are all the result stupid people being given the freedom to do what they want. It needs to stop.

if parents aren't checking their kids behavior, there should be mandatory drug testing, searches and check-ins by the govt

The correct quote reads as follows:

"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."

That’s a false dichotomy written by a misogynistic slave owner.

He did own slaves, but over time he became an abolitionists, freed his slaves, and served as president of an early abolitionist organization.

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

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

Because that is the reality for many homeless.

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.

These are just ordinary people doing what they can to give comfort to the homeless around them in the moment. Why denigrate that because they are not throwing themselves full time into the complicated business of effecting structural change?

You guys have essentially given up your second amendment rights already. DC is on of the few places in America where it is actually easier to get an illegal firearm than a legal one.

As usual, the Onion has this covered:

Area Man Willing To Give Up Any Of Muslims’ Rights Necessary To Feel Safe
https://local.theonion.com/area-man-willing-to-give-up-any-of-muslims-rights-nece-1819577349

Substitute "Muslim" with whatever group of "others" that you deem necessary - minorities, transgender, black teen boys, NIMBY middle aged whites, etc.
