The person telling everyone else to not make assumptions (while using ignorant right-wing talking points, mind you) probably shouldn't make assumptions themselves.

So what's your idea to fix it? I'm all ears, it's not fair to me or anyone else making it work, to have to suffer injustice at the hands of those that won't better themselves. You say that those programs stopped people from the ability to better themselves, I challenge that with less than 10% of those that choose homelessness ever better themselves even briefly even when handed the tools with instructions on how to do so. And it is a choice.

Same thing happened in Maine late last year. Couple high schools had to get cleared out by SWAT teams. It was absolutely terrifying. So weird that these people are targeting random rural states.

What would have been a more platable comment, in your opinion?

Or maybe people still care about property rights, even in this Progressive utopia.

Love being lectured by racist liberals about something they nothing about.
Thought so.

Ah I see. Yeah, I was being a little cheeky, but you really only need to squint a little to see it that way.

I only see being reported the Vermont schools and a few New Hampshire Walmarts. That's today's threats at least, this isn't new to the country as a whole for sure.

Absolutely. I was just debating that the people being paid are landlords. They are not, they're hotel owners.

Its either some idiot having "fun" or a domestic terrorist doing a test run to cause panic and keep police busy is my guess. This going out combined with the electric grid going down (they did test runs of that already by shooting sub stations) would basically shut the country down. Prime setup for a Jan.6 type event.

It’s gal, but no thanks anyway. I’ve been to both and the are equally trashy in their own ways. I’m sure you can see a confederate flag from your front door, loser.

I grew up in central VT and all the black children (and many/almost all of the non-white kids) in our school were adopted into white families. I can't imagine how isolating it feels to be experiencing racism, and not have a parent to go to for lived experience support/advice. I heard about a lot of blatant racism towards these peers. I also found that sports culture was so depended on who participated, my grade level it was toxic for a lot of sports but a few years later I heard it was great.

Many of these hotels are not viable as businesses otherwise. Sometimes they go to places like motel 6 and quality inn, but usually it's places like the Shady Lawn in WRJ, which at this point is functionally a substandard apartment complex for people with state temporary housing vouchers.

Such programs like that have been done before going all the way back to the 1800's. All it did was abuse those who were in that situation as cheap labor and as such gave no incentive for those running such programs to allow the homeless to be able to improve themselves.
Homeless or not, people have the right to self determination and sweeping the problem out of public site wont solve anything.

Weird that it’s ok for one group to use a word as a term of endearment, but if another race uses it, it’s very bad. What don’t you understand? If a black man uses the word towards another black man but is aggressive in action, is he racist??

Bunch of schools got the call, some went into the lockdown but here at Essex Highschool we didn’t bother even though we got a call because we know a thing a two cuz we’ve seen a thing or two. (We knew it was a hoax because of calls from other schools)

Well, you were an idiot for “wishing” to say a word. I’m glad you’re grown up now. I’m luck to be Haitian so I can say whenever I want I guess.

Because CIA has never done anything domestically, and FBI never goes abroad. /s
