Depends on the homeless person. There are some I'd pay anything to make sure they were housed in a jailcell.
you could say this about anyone though. like "there are some people with cancer I'd want to be in jail"
just because someone is homeless doesn't mean they're more likely to be a bad person
I think everyone with cancer should be behind bars, it’s a slippery slope, first you accept the idea of radical (i.e. extremist) cells, and next thing you know we’ve got cronenbergs in congress, where so you draw the line? I say nip it in the bud before we have Jeff Goldblum from The Fly putting their agenda into law books, our children getting taught about safe sex by the guy in From Beyond, and kids being forced to burn bibles in schools!
I'd watch that movie.
Finally, someone brave enough to say it like it is.
My initial statement was much stronger but i knew people would be like omg not all homeless are bad. I can't say good or bad because i dont think people are that simple but they absolutely are more likely to commit anti social behaviour which I hate.
Welfare provides enough money to rent a place, buy utilities and food. So the only people who end up homeless are the drug addicts or people unable to meet basic decency requirements. This makes it so a majority of the homeless are horrible. They attack people, crash out on random strangers, shit up whichever area they are put into.
We've tried housing them it doesnt do anything except make the area horrible for normal people. We have an emergency housing system where you can go into the welfare office and tell them you're about to be homeless and they find you a place to stay but its at the point where people show up and say they'd rather be homeless than live next to these people.
So for these people I'd pay the extra costs to house them in jail but they technically havent been convicted of a crime to be put in jail.
