homeless person

Whether you're Homeless yourself and commit a crime of violence or you've perpetrated violence upon a Homeless person, prison sentences should be fast, long and full; none of the "good-time/half-time" rewards for those convicted of violent crimes.

It should come as no surprise in this time of economic hardship that more people than ever have taken up panhandling as a way to earn a few extra bucks.

Glad to see that Malanga reiterates the fact that most folks who are homeless do not panhandle....

And since we've been talking so much about homeless vets finding it difficult - if not impossible - to vote, lets not forget about the rest of the homeless folks around the country who also face severe barriers to voting....

These kinds of horror stories are as varied yet commonplace to me as the women who come to me for help....

Welcome to the world of homelessness for women....

G2: Women: 'I was burned and beaten on the streets': A horrifying new stud

Jama Oliver is feeling that way:

For the record, I am not supporting the Libertarian candidate for President, Bob Barr. So, I guess even with the Libertarian Party being much closer to my political views nowadays than any of the other parties, I’m still technically a “political homeless person.”

"You don't need an appointment — just walk up.

Ask any Homeless person in our area and they'd probably rank Nashville 1st instead of 2nd for "least walkable."

Not only is the city hard to walk in, but many places one might think are walkable are actually private property with those terrible "on-file" trespassing orders.

I spoke yesterday to a number of my clients yesterday about the new "program" available to those who are homeless; get a ticket out of paradise by asking the Metro PD and the DTP for it. We hashed it out for quite some time and ultimately, the overwhelming consensus might surprise you.

But first, lets take a better look at the issue.

Actually, when you compare what it costs society to assist one homeless person per year, it is probably cheaper for the taxpayer to simply rent a 1 bedroom apartment for him/her, put a case manager next door to supervise the new resident and be done with it.
