They just need to declare that all homeless guys and girls have six months to get their shit together or at least start using services, otherwise it's open season and we can start shooting them and piling them up in garbage trucks and haul them off to the dump or make dogfood out of them. Scratch that, dogs don't deserve to taste nigger in their mouths.
ReplyDeleteIf he ran into the Thompson building then obviously he's a state employee, a political hire.
ReplyDeleteChicago needs to bring back the Vagrancy Laws. I'm tired of dealing with these bums downtown. One guy begs in the morning, on my way into work and when I see him on lunch he is staggering drunk. I suspect he may have a drinking problem & perhaps thats why he is homeless???
ReplyDeleteHe's probably not even homeless, anon, he's probably got the hookup with a mental health agency and he lives in a SRO rent free somewhere. For some reason these fucks absolutely have to be outdoors and in your face even though they have places they can be.
ReplyDelete"Homeless-looking". Correct.
ReplyDeleteThere's one that was always gabbing on his cell phone coherently on the #22 from Rogers Park all the time but once he stepped off the bus in Andersonville, he was instantly "crazy" and speaking in tongues (without the cell phone of course). People buy into this crap there and give them money. I guess it relieves their guilt from whatever they did in the alley the night before. A former friend even gave one $2 and later the same night turns around and asks ME for $ for a bus pass. "Humanities" grad.
I often wonder if they sell that pee-smell in an aerosol can somewhere for them too.
They have a home. They may not like the home they were given by the gubment but it is their - home. I've had to downsize dramatically because of the economy and don't really like my home either but it is my home (for right now anyway).
Don't get me started on the Loop. It's encouraging to know that if everybody hated me, even my own family, because I robbed, stole from and raped them, and I couldn't even get a job at Taco Bell, I could still make a decent living in Shitcago. For some reason or another, I don't think I'll ever be in that situation.
You got a "regular" going ape-sh*t crazay here in Lakeview every other day now too. He's about 6'5" and obviously misses a few days a week of his meds or drugs/alcohol.
ReplyDeleteWhen you read about this upcoming "report", remember you heard it about it here first.
Oh, and Chicago HAD "Vagrancy Laws"? When? How did this change come about? And Why? Who was involved in this change? Where are they now?
ReplyDeleteDirty Jews and other liberals decided that loitering and begging are protected by the First Amendment, now you can see hostile niggers loitering near every El Stop and bums lurking in the doorways of restaurants and stores and getting off scot-free.
ReplyDeleteWhen anarchy hits I'm going to have a blast cracking their skulls.
Thanks 8:13pm. Kinda what I thought (and finally found out) but just needed to see it in writing for it to actually sink in. It's kinda like the creep that's always taking my picture from the storefront window that doesn't even know my name (never asked) but I discovered he DOES know 3 things about me that I have never shared with him nor has he ever asked about. He's pro-"First Amendment" too. He stuck his head in his 7-11 bag last time we passed on the street (while bitching about Subway moving into the dilapidated liquor store, cell phone unlocking store "Edgewater Historic District").
ReplyDeleteIt's really worth writing a satirical book at this point
There is a community center in a run down mansion on Wrightwood and Lakeview that is the source of most of the fuckholes in the Clark/Broadway/Diversey area.
ReplyDeleteThey give these guys (and a few horrible girls) free apartments but they never stay in them. Just look at Uptown and the Shitlence house, morning, noon and night there are the same 20 losers lurking about, regardless of weather.
ReplyDeleteSame goes for the Lawson YMCA and other areas full of "Limitationz" members. Why can't they stay in their fucking apartments and get out of our face?
