    Ignoring all your weird takes, I just wanted to call this out.

    No one is talking about how homeless lives matter, either.

    Yeah we fucking do. We talk about providing mental health care. We talk about getting food stamps, providing housing, creating a basic income… You know, shit that Republicans continue to push to cut because “it’ll make people lazy!”

    I do like that you went to complain about all of this under a post about dead cops though.

      My complaint is that people aren’t holding protests over the homeless problem. They will take up arms and protest in public over the police supposedly causing the wrongful death of a perpetrator, but they won’t take to the streets to address an even bigger problem.

        If they did, which I’m not certain to say one way or the other, you wouldn’t hear about it. It’s hard to manufacture a culture war out of that. It’s easy when “protesters are attacking our helpless innocent police.”
