Moonbattery is the inversion of morality. The good guys are the bad guys; the bad guys are the good guys. Just ask Will Luna, owner of a retro video arcade in San Bernardino, California:

A crew of thugs from a local homeless encampment robbed and trashed the arcade over the Thanksgiving holiday; someone spotted the loot in the encampment and Luna went to investigate and found some of the stolen merch.

But when he went to the cops, he was told they could not enter or move the tents: “They said, ‘We can’t go inside, but you can,’” per Luna.

The gutsy Luna personally recovered some of his property from the camp full of drug fiends, lunatics, and criminal scumbags. As for the rest of it:

Vanished — including thousands of dollars worth of PlayStation and Nintendo consoles and a vintage X-Men arcade game.

Luna isn’t the only one to suffer:

All the businesses at this retail plaza have suffered break-ins as the camps have grown over recent years.

Bums from the unflushed encampments even masturbate in front of the windows of a neighboring salon.

You can’t expect much help from authorities in the Land of Fruits and Nuts. According to the prevailing ideology, business owners are capitalist oppressors; vagrant scumbags are oppressed.

On a tip from Jack D.

The pink elitists comprising our ruling class seem to believe they can destroy America for the little people without wrecking for themselves. Inner cities are hideous hellholes and normal people who can’t afford armed security are set upon by feral vermin as society collapses into lawlessness thanks to liberal policies, but places like Hollywood Hills remain immune. Or maybe not:

What was once a posh mansion in California’s Hollywood Hills section has turned into an eyesore after it was taken over by squatters and taggers.

Local police have been rendered largely irrelevant in liberal enclaves like Los Angeles.

One neighbor said 911 has been called several times just in the past week.

To no avail. Clear them out, back they come within an hour.

It’s worse than just an eyesore:

“Apparently, some squatters came and actually attacked one of the neighbors with steel rebar and [a] beer bottle,” the neighbor said.

In desperation, they are leaving no stone unturned:

Neighbors also say they’ve reached out to L.A. Councilwoman Nithya Raman’s office but haven’t had much luck with a resolution.

Raman identifies as a homelessness advocate. Like most Democrats in positions of power, she is unlikely to side with the law-abiding.

Formerly conservative California, which used to epitomize the American Dream and which launched Ronaldus Maximus from governor to president, is a model for leftists throughout the country when it comes to achieving political dominance through demographic transformation. As Gavin Newsom triumphantly affirms, it is also a model regarding homelessness, a crisis that Democrats have exacerbated for nefarious political purposes.

California achieved its stratospheric homelessness level by spending money to grow it. This spending continues to escalate:

[Newsom] announced a $3.3 billion fund for California counties to tackle rampant homelessness, including a mental health initiative he pushed for.

Crowed Newsom:

“We have a national model.”

Twenty-eight percent of the homeless in the USA subsist in the erstwhile Golden State.

That figure marked a 40 percent increase from the rate it was at five years ago, reports CalMatters. …

In Los Angeles, which has more homeless people than any other US city at a staggering 65,111 people according to a separate 2023 California Senate report, the rate increased by nine percent in 2023 compared to the previous year.

California is a national model, all right — assuming that the objective is to reduce America to a Third World slum.

It isn’t just the warm weather:

[A federal report] found that the number of ‘unsheltered’ people – those not in any form of government housing or shelter and instead sleep on the streets – in California accounted for 49 percent of the entire nation’s tally.

At over 123,000 unsheltered homeless people in California, the state held a rate eight times higher than the second worst state, Florida, which had just 15,000.

That which the government wants to abolish, it taxes. That which it wants more of, it subsidizes. This is why California so lavishly subsidizes homelessness.

Newsom touted Proposition 1, which pours money on the homeless and mandates that counties…

…spend two-thirds of the money gained from a 2004 tax on millionaires solely on mental health services.

Fewer millionaires, more mentally ill derelicts. Sounds like a plan for consolidating leftist rule.

On a tip from Ed McAninch.

Being a vagabond does not confer the privileges enjoyed by the sexually insane and members of favored races, but in California it does come with perks — including free parking.

That’s the main takeaway from a California Court of Appeals opinion issued Friday that ruled cities that tow cars with five or more unpaid parking tickets violate the 4th Amendment’s prohibition of search and seizure without a warrant.

The Coalition on Homelessness sued the City and County of San Francisco seeking an injunction against towing scofflaw cars that piled up parking tickets, and the trial court had denied the petition. But the Court of Appeals reversed, because “appellant [Coalition on Homelessness] presented declarations regarding the severe impacts of vehicle tows on unhoused San Francisco residents.”

The interests of The Unhoused (formerly known as bums) take priority in places like San Francisco. Those who don’t like it are homelessophobes.

Good luck finding a parking place that isn’t taken up by a dead vehicle housing a dope fiend.
