Concern Mounting over a Relocation of Homeless: Where Will They Go Next?



I've been contacted by a number of folks concerned about some signage being put up around a couple of lots where we know there are significant populations of homeless in campsites.

"I was given a heads up that they will begin trespassing people off of this property on Wednesday" said one concerned citizen, speaking about a privately owned lot in the vicinity of North Palafox street and Beggs Lane in Pensacola.

When I asked where these folks would go once removed, I was told "probably to jail if they don't leave.  Also, I don't know where they will go other than [the county's property] at Beggs Lane--which is already overflowing."

But then I was sent this picture, below, which seems to indicate we will be clearing out the county's property in that area as well.  My natural question is this--where will these folks go if removed?

The individual told me next-"This is going to make the situation much worse--these were posted today all along Beggs Lane...."

Anyone interested in understanding the programmatic weed-out happening nation-wide can Google up Atlas Shrugged, the Grapes of Wrath, and Tobacco Road and read a few of the Cliffs Notes.

You can't get down to seriously fostering fascism, overthrowing a democracy, and instituting a quasi governmental oligarchy without creating a class of new feudal serfs and encouraging them to have as many children as possible. And it only benefits *everyone* in a healthy system to get the unfortunate but necessary purging of the weak out of the way.

Just get it over with and throw the homeless in jail already. With the lack of decent healthcare and food and the brutality in the Escambia County jail, you'll rid the streets and everywhere else of the problem of a good percentage of them within a few check-ins.

Thankfully the PNJ is at the ready for front page news about the pending violent altercation that rationalizes a bunch of homeless being incarcerated--Molly Barrowes is ON it.

She has probably already got a few paragraphs in the hopper to sub in names and times in case of an another shooting. Headline: "SADNESS, FEAR, MISTRUST, AND FURY GROWS AMONG WHITE KAREN CHRISTIAN NATIONALISTS."

Folks, we only have roughly 2150 billionaires world-wide to take care of. Why can't *everyone* in the 2.8B having less than 10K do their parts?

Again, that's only 2150 billionaires we have to offset taxes for, people, and yet nobody wants to work at a shit job forcing them to choose between food and a roof over their heads.

SMH. These homeless are seriously sucking the the billionaires' ability to make 500M dollars a day off of waving their dicks around on social media, hosting Supreme Court justices on their yachts and jets, and trading money around in a circles with dictators and Middle Eastern princes.

What do I hope to accomplish with this post? Absolutely nothing, other than speaking the God's honest truth. This is a systematic and systemic problem nationwide and globally that has to do with a concentration of wealth in the hands of a very small few. The earth is a closed system. Zero sum game, folks. And the homeless, the mentally ill, and the sick are the zeroes. It's just that simple.

Follow-up: I just learned that the cleanup at Beggs Lane is just ROW. THANK GOODNESS, a temporary reprieve.

With that property still being for sale, hopefully the County can get in front of having space available in case it leases or sells.

And, of course, that doesn't fix the greater issue, which is wealth disparity, tax burden, run amok utilities, a crashing insurance system, etc. But at least those of us concerned about both camps being cleaned out at once can breathe a sigh of relief that's not happening!
