Say “hello” to the city of Los Angeles’ PUBLIC ENEMY NUMBER ONE!

But, our taxes “take care” of the homeless, claims the naive, clueless, Utopian-minded Statist, without even a hint of irony…

Chioke K.: WOOW ??!!!!!!

Homeless Grandmother Arrested 59 Times for Sitting on Sidewalk:

(Tana Ganeva, AlterNet) Here’s an interesting use of public resources: as part of a decade-long effort to “clean up” Skid Row in Los Angeles (i.e. run the homeless out of the area to ease development), the city of LA has spent at least a quarter of a million dollars arresting, prosecuting and jailing just one homeless woman, 59-year-old Ann Moody, mostly for sitting on a public sidewalk.

Moody has been arrested 59 times in six years, reports the Los Angeles Times. She’s spent 15 months in jail since 2002. As the article points out, Moody has been arrested more than any other person in the entire city of Los Angeles.

The 59-year-old grandmother earned that distinction by flouting part of the municipal code that restricts sleeping, lying or sitting on a public sidewalk between 9pm and 6am, although she’s also been bagged for selling cigarettes. She explained her bad behavior to the Times: “We’re human beings, not to be pushed around like cattle,” she said. “We have a right to be stationary.”

The following correspondence originally took place upon my Facebook wall, after I posted artwork being shared by the page, “TRUTHgasm“…

Rayn: 

“I just heard the audio of Kelly Thomas, (a thirty-seven-year-old homeless man who suffered from schizophrenia), being savagely beaten to death by police officers for over nine minutes. He was screaming, “sorry!,” to the cops, but they wouldn’t stop. What really gets me is when he called his father for help.” (“Dad! Dad! Daad!”)

Sara: Heart breaking.

Genaire: Pigs need Death!

Rayn: American Fascism, Exposed…

Morgan S.: I read that the Two assniffers I mean officers might be facing Federal Charges.

Genaire: Actually what needs to happen is people need to take out their anger on these judges that allow these pigs to get away with this shit. If the people actually kill a few of these pigs this behavior will quickly stop.

Diana B.: kill a few pigs? i hate pork, but i wouldn’t stoop to a pigs level 😐

Genaire: Apparently the people won’t get justice in the court rooms, Diana, so what options do we have? I feel the families of these individuals brutalized by these officers should seek retribution. In no way should these acts of violence be allowed to continue. People have a right to defend themselves and the lives of their families.

Diana B.: Thats true Genaire, but if I went and popped off people who fucked me over in some way the whole damn world would be dead! besides, if you trust in a Higher Power, then you have nothing to fear and no need for revenge, knowing in your heart these things will be worked out bc me and you can’t possibly understand how to properly punish these pigs. But Gd does. and will…..

Genaire: Diana, we aren’t talking about being fucked over we are talking about murder. Yes I believe in a higher power but I really don’t see a problem with making sure those responsible for the murder of a relative to face that higher power a little early.

Diana B.: yea i wouldn’t mind myself,. but would u be able to really do that?? i could never kill anything unless it was coming for me and it was self defense!

Diana B.: too bad this guy wasn’t strapped 😐

Genaire: He was mentally disabled.

Genaire: “When governments fear the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. ”

Diana B.: mentally disabled is no reason to not have a gun lol! all these killers lately have been maniacs. imagine everyone had a gun wouldn’t that deter some crazy cops???

Genaire: I would love that Diana 🙂

Rayn: But, without government, who would brutally murder the homeless?

“Cops in America… can murder someone on video… and walk free.”

Morgan S.: absolutely did murder that man and they walked free. no protests, no nothing.

The Many Pleas of Police Murder Victim, Kelly Thomas

The following correspondence originally took place upon my Facebook wall, after I posted a photo being shared by the page, “Fuck the Government“…

Rayn: 

“Kelly Thomas’ Pleas:
Dad Help Me… They’re Killing Me – 31 Times
Sir Please… Okay… Okay – 30 Times
Help Me… Help Me God – 26 Times
I’m Sorry – 15 Times”

Genaire: Pigs need Death!

Sara: This is a fucking shame!

Bram D.: Genaire : that goes a bit too far imo, but then i’m against the death penalty 🙂

Genaire: When I say pigs Bram, I’m not referring to all police officers. I respect good police officers. I’m referring to the officers that feel that is ok to abuse their power, those officers deserve death. As far as being against the death penalty goes I respect that but if they are in the process of killing you, you are within your right to defend yourself even if that means you have to take their life instead.
