About once or twice a year, I have to travel to Los Angeles for a couple of business things and every time I go I dread it even more each time.
A friend of mine who moved out there for work decades ago will usually take me out to dinner one of the nights that I am there, and we’ll walk from his house to a place about half a mile.
I gotta tell you, people, you simply have not lived until you have walked through a bum town in Los Angeles. It’s like those Hoovervilles that they used to have during the Great Depression.
You got homeless people bobbing around, higher than a giraffe’s ass, sleeping and going to the bathroom on the street.
The last time that I was there, I bought the cheapest pair of shoes I could find for walking around the city because I knew at some point I was going to accidentally walk into someone else’s body waste.
It’s a problem that liberal cities like Los Angeles need to deal with. They need to figure out what the heck to do with these people because it’s stuff like this that has led to plagues in centuries gone by.
It also makes the streets of some of these cities like Los Angeles extremely dangerous to even walk around. You’ve got thousands of people, all with nothing to lose, begging you for money every time you blink.
You can’t give something to all of them, and they’d just love an excuse to punch you so they get housing at a jail somewhere.
This heightened level of violence in these homeless camps has led to over two thousand homeless people dying in one year in just Los Angeles alone. I grew up in a town of a thousand people and will often use that number as a unit of measurement.
It’s mind-boggling to think that twice the population of the city I grew up in of just homeless people dies every year.
I hate to sound mean, but I have to say it. You know who pays for it when these people, strung out on drugs, dies on the street? You and I do. Someone has to pay for the burial after all.
These two thousand people in Los Angeles dying every year is a tragedy, but we also have to be realistic about this. If it weren’t for the liberal policies that pretty much make being homeless in the city of Angels damn near an occupation, it simply would not be happening.
