Tent City Homeless Vacate Notice By Police - iCare-America

"What you do to the least of those, you do to me."
iCare America videotapes the police passing out vacate notices to the homeless people living at Tent City in Sacramento, CA. The loss of self-esteem these people experience is magnified by the stigma of violating "laws" because of where they rest their heads. Imagine laying down each night in fear that you will be arrested and knowing there is no safe place to go. Its not right and we will do whatever it takes to bring integrity to this travesty - Val Jon Farris

@2010jaxon You've got that right, buddy! All the people who are protesting against this place are destined to become one of its residents.

Now it's 2 years later and cops are losing jobs left and right. These tents will soon be there homes to. Then their chests wont be stuck out so far.

why cant people bond together or something and buy up raw land for these people to live on? i used to be homeless yrs ago... slept on the streets and ate out of garbage cans... i know what its like... heck i got a half acre of land... come and pitch a tent on my land... i have no use for it... thats what people should do... not all homeless people are bad ya know...

@nissanlover In case you are too stupid to understand what it means, then simply go kill some of the other tent residents before killing yourself. That's kamakaze, And it's for the betterment of the whole, same as what the fucking Japs did to themselves.

@stephentsang2000 to commit kamikaze? kamikaze means: special attack unit... what your most likely thinking about is called "Seppuku." just the fact that you confused the two makes it clear that you are full of shit

@Moralvorstellung7 The thing is, they WERE helping themselves: they were living in tents in an area where no one was doing anything and the land wasn't being used. Nobody owes them a thing? Fine. Then we (society) and our agents (the state) should just ignore them. But the state isn't just ignoring them--that would be one thing. The state is actively oppressing them. You think that we should forsake them, but you're confused about what forsaking someone actually entails.

Poor society..Africa are more developed than this.

You should judge a society on how they threat their weakest citizens.

first they tax you till your poor then they beat you steal what you have left extort the little money you are able to make out of you and when you are homeless on the streets trying to sleep in a tent they still dont stop and come bother you some more ever wonder why people hate the cops? here you go they are not human just a bunch of garbage that what they are

[Elizabeth46594]

Well if you want the people to kill them self why dont you kill yourself first so that they can burie you,so that they take your job and you house. What if it was you have compassion the world is looking shame on you to say like this,it is inhuman maybe you are not human,reptilien.

@manmanltw Why don't they just suicide like the fucking Japs who survived the Tsunami? Suicide would alleviate the burden to society and it's the most virtuous thing to do for other people in this world. Over 1000 Jap survivors had killed themselves so far after the Tsunami happened. Americans should learn from the Asians to commit kamakaze in order to preserve the betterment of the whole.
