"Tent City", Los Angeles

[misskaneza]

All I got to say is what goes up must come down. Karma's a bitch...

[kma367blue]

THIS IS WHY I LEFT L.A. 15 YEARS IT WAS BAD THEN ALONG WITH CRIME AND TOO MANY ASSHOLES TO DEAL WITH LEFT AND HAPPY ABOUT IT ENJOY THE NEXT ROIT AND EARTHQUIKE ITS NOT WORTH IT NOW

[fingleweed]

i dont understand how the people of america are allowing this to happen to its people. the banks have stolen your money and made you all homeless, bye design . wake up to the new world order

[ANGELBLU2042]

Well this doesn't look like something which has been photostopped ... videos don't lie. The US has sent millions of dollars in food for starving people in other countries, yet these people can't get help with shelter.

[disturbed341]

I have seen this reported on cnn and msnbc fox says there are no tent cities in the usa.

[shortsyndicate1]

I guess its time to get ready to go to the tent camps i have no moeny left over and if i lose my job

[CaptAntiGravity]

Hey everyone,i only have this to say about this "Screwed Up" situation and that is it is now time for ALL FOLKS (yes,including even younger Successful YUPPIES)to STOP BEING SO SELFISH & mouthing off ...."'why should i put aside some extra money for food & clothing for these "Tent Folks" cause they can go out & get jobs for themselves"!!!

Oh my God,All you who really think that MOST of these folks lost their home cause they didn't want to work are REAL SELFISH asses & wait till it happens to YOU!

[DThor53]

If we listened to God and take the homeless into our homes this wouldn't be happening!God commands all christians to take the homeless into their homes.We should be using the taxes for Mexican abortions for helping the homeless in America to be housed and to find work.Obama needs to worry about our citizens and not kissing muslim butt!

[coralarch]

So how many homeless do YOU have in your house?

[coralarch]

"Feed the hungry and clothe the naked-" there are millions awaiting YOUR help. STFU about what others are doing and do YOUR duty by your God! You LOVE whining about others' misdeeds- just have a look at your own inadequacies! I bet you're a supporter of Bakker, Swaggart & other crooks. Imbecile.

[deerfoch]

I don't know about everyone else, but Obama does not bring hope for me, only higher taxes at a time most of us can't afford a tax increase

[nessto71]

lloks like peru xpxpxpxpxpxpxp

[nycflag]

Your all going to camp FEMA.

[jaar2001]

:-( say thanks to the federal reserve system

[OldSmellyCrotch]

Then say to the Treasury Department "Here, take this" as you hand them your birth certificate with the words "Accepted For Value ??/??/09 (autographed) " and use this new credit supply to "set-off" your debts, bills and expences, that is how it was meant to be done.

THE FRENCH SUCK.

[malkemusatube]

I think the worst thing about all of this, is that wherever these folks try to go to lay their heads, the police won't be far behind.

How lame is that, that our society can't even provide vacant land for the nouveau homeless to be accosted?

If it goes too far, these are the types of things that lead to revolution. Perhaps Marx was right: capitalism holds the seeds of its own destruction.

The governments today have more in common with the Communist Soviet System than they do with real democracy or free-markets. Look around and see hubris and totalitarianism on the rise. Elections are little more than a deceptive farce. Even sincere politician's are helpless to do anything meaningful within the system. Behind the illusion of democracy there is a power that is clearly very far from benevolent. We need to rid this planet of fraudulent fiat money and covert minority rule.

[BigSparky22]

In the United States, we are free to an extent but in many ways, we are inslaved, we can make whatever choice we want but we never truely own anything, your home is taxed even after it is payed off & you can lose your home if you don't pay your taxes, all your money goes towards shelter, utilities, food & gas, it's enslavement. Honestly, I'm investing in some camping & survival equipment & am planning on going out into the wilderness to live for a while, an escape from civilization

[malkemusatube]

Both Lincoln and Jefferson warned: "If we allow banks to control and print money, one day our children will wale up homeless, and money will be our master instead of our slave".

Too bad we didn't listen, huh?

[systemaddictshock]

we listened again when Andrew Jackson killed the banks. But what happened is that GREED has taken a stranglehold on American society.

[systemaddictshock]

You can't even go out into the wilderness with treading onto someone's property today. If the BLM doesn't own it then someone else does. Then what happens? you get shot for trespassing. Sounds like America needs a reservation for the homeless.

[CarlosXdotcom]

I once saw in the Foreign Press a report of what is going on. I ask a newspaper editor why they did not cover it. Answer - we have to get cleared first before we publish.

BTW, do you know that feeding homeless is a crime in many cities?

[phhart]

So what is wrong with renting? Why is home ownership so important? Homes cost you money if without debt.

[blibgnu]

They are like us, everybody is the same : humans and one world...

The poor men are the most numerous and... and... not revolution is USA ?

Too bad system :( Wake up !

[beenn15]

wow... every city in the united states if not the world has their fair share of retards. Is the situation news worthy? well, yes. But ignoring the fact that this doesn't just exist in "Los Angeles" is a little disheartening. I think the reporter was lazy, and was in hurry to submit a story on time to get paid.

[blackzc]

Thats because these people are not there because of foreclosure. This is a lie!! A very big one!! These guys have mental/drug problems and dont want to go to the many available shelters throughout the city. Dont buy this crap!

[computersage]

Thanks for posting and reporting on this. We will see more of this in America due to the policies of the government.

The US media certainly will not report on this.

[blackzc]

[computersage]

Prove what you are saying! Where is a link for your proof? Inquiring minds want to know.

Funny how the foreign press has to report this and not CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, or Fox. Even if they are homeless this is one of the most underreported stories in America.

[blackzc]

If you want google rueters, tent city and do some looking around, this story is new so it will take a while,but (no one at the city said that they were a victim of foreclosure!!!!)
