Published on May 15, 2012

This bizarre, lawless land in the California desert is inhabited by drug addicts, eccentrics, army vets, hippies and just plain old weirdos. Slab City is referred to by its residents as "the last free place in America."

    Yes, but they are a subset of homeless people. Hobos wander in search of work, tramps work when forced, bums don't work at all. These people look like they fall into the last two categories.
