Ok, "next to nobody on the entire south side."

Does anyone know the legality of this now that we know all the details? Does the landowner have the right to burn the belongings of other people if it’s on their property? (I don’t believe it’s morally right — I’m just curious as to whether there can be legal action.)

I'm well aware.

However you said "nobody on the entire south side". Which is a false statement because I, a Southside resident, am for the development.

That's not a consequence as defined by the law, just a predatory victimization of vulnerable people. If you came into my yard and i burned what property you had, i would be charged with my own crime.

I would encourage you to contact the local Family Support Division and ask if they still provide bus passes. That program might have been discontinued (haven’t worked there in a while) but at one time they were available.

The city has done a lot with Cristi. They've even set up a whole procedure for police to call the one cal number to have volunteers come out and assist homeless encampments 24-48 hours before they are removed.

Springfield isn't Greene county. The Sheriff is only controlled by the voters of Greene county. The Springfield city council and mayor have absolutely 100% no control over what the Sheriff does, and would be out of line if they started telling him what he should or could be doing.

Does the sheriff suck? Yup. But we continue to vote him in every few years.

As for how to solve homelessness. You're right we do need those measures in place, the problem as always, is we need to figure out how to pay for them. Either you take money from another program, or you tax the city/county. The city doesn't just have coffers of cash, like almost all organizations they run pretty budget neutral, as they should.

Apparently serious enough to burn all your belongings for

Most of us voted against development

South side resident here.

I do.

Lmao typical douche!

I'll help you to shut the fuck up

Typical answer for an idiot who knows I’m right. Gtfo and go help those people you’re so worried about.

You're incredibly stupid and i am embarrassed for you

Typical answer for someone who isn’t very smart! It’s illegal to trespass no matter who it is. Similar to the idiots who try to live on houses that don’t belong to them and burn them down. If you were smarter you might understand that the property owner is responsible for anything that happens on their property! I bet you don’t own any property or you would understand!

I don’t give a shit where the homeless go so long as it isn’t somewhere I’m responsible for their actions. Maybe you should have told the city to not spend millions buying that stadium and instead spend it on the homeless. Why would I volunteer my time to help those who are not even willing to help themselves?

I'm saying you're a moron and aren't smart enough to trap me in your silly little game here. What you're asking me to do is help you justify either destruction of the personal property or defense of private property. What's happening is one large group of people are now suffering (more than they already were!) because one prison was inconvenienced. The answer isn't as simple as your little mind wishes it was, but it's certainly not in making it illegal to be homeless.

If you're so god dammed concerned, why don't you open your house? i bet you've never fed the homeless or worked in any kind of mission or community service group at all, ever

So you’re saying the people who trespass and have no respect for peoples property aren’t doing anything wrong and the owners should just willing give up what they used their money to buy?

Some choose to be or choose to do drugs instead of something to help themselves. Does that means they need to trespass on private property and destroy land that isn’t theirs?

There isn't a need for that, the sheriff is a piece of shit

I’d you were then why is there a need for the sheriff to have to kick these people off of private property?

Who says we don't do that already? Shut the fuck up

Like trespassing is even a serious offense!

If I had to surmise further, ole Jimmy-boy suggested the landowner do it.

"I can't legally burn the piles, but I won't stop you from doing so Mr landowner"

Nobody on the entire south side wants Galloway developed

Bless your heart. Crazy to think by giving a heads up on ABUSERS equates to "not giving a shit about other people" in your pretty little head. That's cute. EDIT TO ADD: a big part of the group is also blasting SA from the victim themselves to warn local ladies, but your right I would hate for a guy that R*pes girls to get bullied.... we're just big ol meanies.
