Maryland Democrats have introduced a bill to prevent police from removing homeless encampments from public property.
The bill aims to prevent police from enforcing Failure to Obey Lawful Orders laws.
Democratic delegate Sheila Ruth said during a committee hearing that “we shouldn’t be destroying homeless encampments,” according to a report from the Washington Free Beacon.
“Ruth is pushing to permit homeless encampments in Maryland as Democratic politicians roll back on similar policies across the country. The Los Angeles City Council in October banned homeless camps in 54 locations. Austin, Texas, in May overwhelmingly voted to ban public camping across the city. Seattle and Washington, D.C., have cleared out homeless camps in recent months, and New York City mayor Eric Adams (D.) on Friday released a plan to remove homeless people from public areas such as subway trains,” the report explains.
There are an estimated 2,000 homeless people in the city of Baltimore alone.
The bill notes that “for purposes of a prosecution under this section, a public conveyance or a public place need not be devoted solely to public use.”
This is NOT California & we Not putting up with it !!!!
And yet the woke are scared of Covid but want street nasty people & tents where they expose everyone. Another do as I say but not do as they do!
If the Brandon Party wants to protect the homeless from building tent cities on the sidewalks and in parks then they should invite them to set up tents on Brandon Party members properties. Show them were to use the outside bathroom and were to throw their used drug paraphernalia. Perhaps the next time you see these homeless people please direct them to down town Salisbury parking garage, main parking lot across across from the Library or perhaps Mike Dunn’s, Josh Hastings, Bill McCain or John Cannon’s house. I’m sure the mayor and his wife would take in at least six homeless so send them there. Homeless, no problem visit Brandon’s Party members. Jon E. Jrr.
I remember when Fake Jake said he was going to remove the homeless remember the tent city near Fruitland then moved them across the street to hotel on railroad tracks then out again. He also said he was going to rid the panhandlers on Rt 13 North the same ones are there every weekend. Then they leave with their $ and go to Apple Bees and buy drinks for everyone–you wokes are such fools.
