Homeless camp exists only in far right's mind

The only place the homeless get to live rent-free is in the far right's heads.

And when I talk about the far right, I'm using the historic definition of the term. Lately, the Democrats have been branding all challenges from the left as right-wing. But I'm using the real definition, not the shitlib definition. The Democrats these days support actual far right stances more and more.

Recently, some neighborhood "leader" in Cincinnati drafted a letter demanding removal of a homeless camp in Burnet Woods, a city park. The letter demanded police close the park at 10 PM every night to expel the homeless and discard their belongings. The letter pointed fingers at the homeless over assorted ills that plague the city.

A big problem with this letter - besides its general meanness - is that there is no homeless camp in Burnet Woods. A few homeless people might gather there, but there is no camp. The camp exists only in somebody's minuscule mind. Park employees and visitors confirmed to the media that there is no camp.

The letter prompted some folks to post a flyer around the area charging that a neighborhood committee aims to "displace and throw out the property of local homeless people." The flyer pointed out that these raids cause the homeless to lose medications and personal documents.

The main location of concern in Burnet Woods seems to be the corner of Ludlow and Clifton avenues. It just so happens that I had lunch at this corner on Saturday on the way home from Zinecinnati. There were folks gathered around, but none of them said a word to me or did anything illegal. Bees were a bigger threat than homeless people were.

I bet the writer of the letter is actually mad because he saw homeless people not wearing masks.
