This is such a subtly evil mindset
Being homeless isn’t illegal but you’re missing the part where they’re shooting up drugs in public, probably not fully dressed, and wandering out into direct traffic which is the main concern. And yes it’s bad for everyone, even them.

One, it’s classifying all homeless as drug addicted burdens on society when that’s just objectively not true, so the net this is casting will hurt regular ass people down on their luck. Two, it’s aggressively paternalistic. “Oh, these laws making it illegal to be homeless are for their own good!” No man. It’s to fill private prisons. That’s all any of this has ever been for.

So why should drug use be allowed in private but not in public, if both are liable to cause someone to act violently?

Doing drugs in public forces everyone else in public to be at risk, doing so the privacy of your own home still carries a risk, but it’s more contained

And if it spills in to the public, or causes someone to get endangered or harmed, Then that is where law enforcement should step in

Just like drunk driving in public is bad, drunk driving on your own property is fine, but if you then drive into the public or hurt someone then that is bad

Drunk driving the same as doing drugs and not driving? Wild.

It’s exactly my point, it’s something I ban publicly but allow privately, even though both can cause harm

So by that logic drunk driving in private property should be legal.

I can poke holes in this all day. We all know the real reason you hold this position is because it specifically targets homeless drug addicts. That’s the reason.

To drunk drive on your own property? Because you can still kill innocent people that way. They’d just be innocent people on your property.

Obviously. But the issue here is you don’t care about the fact the drunk driver is killing innocent people, your issue is that they’re in your way. Just like with homeless people. You don’t care that they’re dangerous, you’re mad they’re in your way.

I am however insinuating that your logic extends to all homeless people regardless of whether they’re drug addicts. Because I don’t believe your issue is public safety. I think you want homeless people out of your way all together.

So even if it could harm someone in private, it should be illegal?

You can assume things about my take all you want, if that makes you feel better go for it But nowhere in my stance have I drawn the parallel to all homeless people, it’s very clearly been about drug use in public

Depends on the thing. In drunk driving’s case, yes. In addictive drugs case, no.

Because imprisoning drug users isn’t likely to stop them using drugs. The opposite happens actually.

Repeat dui rates are pretty high, so it seems that the act of imprisoning drunk drivers isn’t likely to get them to stop drunk driving. So then we shouldn’t imprison them, and suggesting to do so is immoral

So if someone is drunk driving on their own property, should they be involuntarily taken to an alcohol rehab center for a predefined amount of time?
