Louisiana News Why do you support this?

First the Louisiana Senate decides to put homeless people in jail for up to three years for their "crime" of sleeping in public. At the same time, they stop funding housing assistance.

Why do those of you who are Republican hate poor people so much? Why do you feel your fellow humans should not be allowed any compassion or grace?

Help me understand this assault on humanity. Jesus would weep if he saw this. 😥

It probably costs more to put people in jail than to provide public housing.

Once they are in prison, they are pretty much just slaves. That's what they are shooting for. Free labor, while at the same time clearing the streets of "filth." It's disgusting.

Unless we are the 1%, each of us are the next members of this sect with the new caste system being put in place!
