Derelict Bill of Rights
All the animals on the farm are equal, except the special animals that are more equal, like blacks, illegal aliens, Muslims, homosexuals, cross-dressing freakazoids, and soon — derelicts:
Rhode Island’s governor is expected to sign into law the first “Homeless Bill of Rights” in the United States as early as next week, formally banning discrimination against homeless people and affirming their equal access to jobs, housing and services.
This translates to: My job qualification is that I live in a puddle of regurgitated Thunderbird under an overpass. You’d better hire me or I’ll sue.
Among other steps, the Rhode Island law would guarantee homeless people the right to use public sidewalks, parks and transportation as well as public buildings, like anyone else “without discrimination on the basis of his or her housing status.”
You don’t have to be a police officer to figure out what effect this will have on the maintenance of orderly public conduct.
It guarantees a “reasonable expectation of privacy” with respect to personal belongings similar to that of people who have homes.
So when the sidewalk is blocked by an elaborate display of chicken bones dug out of the garbage, you’d best just walk in the street.
It’s unclear whether the bill will include a right to free puppies.
Supporters say the law was necessary due to “discrimination.” Where do normal people go to have the privilege of “discrimination” bestowed upon them?
Rhode Island’s governor is a former RINO the GOP backed against a conservative challenger for the Senate, only to watch him lose to a leftist and then leave the party. If you’re trying to explain to someone why “moderates” need to be driven out of the Republican Party and off the end of the nearest pier, make your case in two words: Lincoln Chafee.
On a tip from Byron.
From each according to his ability, to each according to his crack habit.
They get the “rights”, and you get the bill. More proof this country is screwed and liberalism is a mental disorder.
Who run Bartertown?
The “homeless” have every human right to either produce, or STFU.
Non-producers should have no rights to other people’s money.
Not to worry. From what I have seen, most of these aholes whouldn’t take a job if you held a gun to their head.
It guarantees a “reasonable expectation of privacy” with respect to personal belongings similar to that of people who have homes.
Sounds like an opening for squatters rights to me
Que the slip and fall circus music
Well don’t forget that stupidvisor and former housing czar Bevan Dufty (new title for H. czar is…I’m not kidding… Director of Housing Opportunity, Partnerships and Engagement) wants to give the homeless is SF rainbows, puppies and free “wet” housing (Like they have in Seattle)! Well maybe not rainbows but he would if he could!

Helicopter Ben run Bartertown.
If he embargo the money, politicians no barter favors.
“…affirming their equal access to jobs, housing and services.”
All humans already have those rights; this is just pandering and elevating certain “victims” above the rest of us.
HOMELESS IN LA JOLLA
Not too far from here (I’d say “walking distance”, but for me walking distance is something approaching 15-20 miles, actually) is Windansea Beach.
This always was a beautiful public beach, since the days of my (misspent) youth, except for the homeless bum who had a growing pile of trash which was ill-controlled yet the police and lifeguards did nothing, I suppose under a similar doctrine that this guy had some right to squat there and ruin it for everyone else.
Then one day I noticed some guy rounding up the bum’s trash (it was trash pickup day in our neighborhood) and distributing it into various trash cans that people had placed out on the curb. I was going to go up to him and remind him that, as much as we didn’t like the bum’s stuff on our public beach, the cops would probably arrest HIM and let the bum continue to stink up the place (he urinated and defocated wherever he pleased, like your typical occu-tard, but way before they started doing it) if he was caught putting the bums trash in the trash. But I realized if I went up and talked to him I’d probably start helping him throw the stuff away instead of trying to talk him out of it so I just continued on my way.
Later when I came by there was no sign the bum had ever been there. I do wish I got the guy’s name or shook his hand or something.
This is an excellent idea. There are many CEO slots that business is trying to fill – this will open up a whole new group of candidates.
