I just love watching #homeless #methhead #unhoused #neighbors taking a piss at the gas station. #dallas needs a complete reset of its priorities. @caraathome is right. Fuck giving the city or county a fucking dime for homeless “care” #bustthebond @ridleyfordallas is useless. @DallasMayor @KBTDallasCM are feckless. @CityofDallasD14 @CityOfDallas @CityofDallasD2 @District9Dallas @GayDWillis13 @JesseForDallas @JudgeClayJ @RafaelAnchia @ChadWestDallas @dallasenfuego @DallasPD

The communists were out last night defacing public property. Along with their clear message, they left all of their garbage for the community to clean up. The dichotomy between what they portray themselves to be and what they actually are is mind blowing. Communists suck. #dallas

Came home for lunch to this bullshit #methhead screaming at no one about his private parts. Even took him a while to realize I had turned on the sprinklers. @CityOfDallas is just a mess. #homeless #drugs #dallas #Dallas @DallasMayor @KBTDallasCM @ridleyfordallas @District9Dallas @CityofDallasD2 @CityofDallasD14 @caraathome @ChadWestDallas @DallasPD @RafaelAnchia @DallasExpress @dallasenfuego

On this episode of what my actual fuck…the #dallas Methanies are out terrorizing the streets of #Oaklawn. You would think I live in the hood, but alas it’s not. This is every neighborhood in the city. Meanwhile @ridleyfordallas & @CityofDallasD14 members are down the street at Craddock park with about a dozen police officers enjoying a dedication. #hypocrite. @dallasenfuego @DallasMayor @KBTDallasCM @RafaelAnchia @caraathome @DallasPD @DallasExpress @CityOfDallas @FBIDallas @GayDWillis13 @District9Dallas @ChadWestDallas

#Sunday evening stroll through #Dallas @CityofDallasD14 is a fucking mess. The smell of urine and dodging all the Methanies is a sport. @DallasMayor & @KBTDallasCM have ruined this @CityOfDallas Also….How are people suppose to catch the bus if #homeless #methheads are using them for shelter. Thanks for nothing #assholes. @CityofDallasD2 @District9Dallas @Johnson4Dallas @caraathome @GayDWillis13 @wfaa @NBCDFW @RafaelAnchia

Been out of town for 2 months due to the passing of my father. He grew up in Oklahoma and he was disgusted by what #dallas had become. He remembered a vibrant clean city that was safe and a beacon of capitalism. Sad that this is where we are now. The guy on the end was just released from uncle Lou’s for indecent exposure. I doubt there’s anything under that skirt. @RafaelAnchia @DallasMayor @CityofDallasD14 @caraathome @dallasenfuego @RTR_bronin

Pay attention @CityOfDallas @KBTDallasCM @DallasMayor @ChiefComeauxDPD this is what needs to be done. #dallasites quality of life matters. @caraathome @CityofDallasD14
This is AWESOME ‼️ The mayor of Santa Ana, California is out with police officers confronting the homeless. The homeless are offered services including treatment and shelter, if they refuse they go to jail THIS is how it should be “I'm the mayor of the city of Santa Ana. I'm out this morning with Santa Ana PD, with our QOLT team, our Quality of Life team, Teen Challenge, Salvation Army and what we're doing here today is we're working with those that are homeless on our streets. We're offering them services, whether it's detox, a shelter, a program. And if they refuse all the services, then they end up going to jail. And why are we doing that again? We do this every single month. And why? Because Santa Ana deserves a good quality of life, just like all the other cities around us, and I always say that. Because it's very important that you can walk the streets, drive around, and just raise your family here without seeing all the stuff that's going on around our city with the unhoused” “If you're asking, why do we do this? It's inhumane. No, it's actually good to take people off the streets. It's inhumane to leave them on the streets. That is the key that we always have to remember. It is inhumane to leave them on the streets, whether they're laying in their feces or they're high” “We're gonna keep doing this because your quality of life, my quality of life and our children's quality of life, it matters”

Tonight in the slums a Methanie smoking meth or crack couldn’t tell at HYA. I would say that 80% of the problem with this neighborhood originates at this apartment complex. 10% of it comes from the apartments next to the HYA apartments. They are managed by Perry Guest. The drug dealers live at the Perry Guest apartments and people at HYA are the drug users and cause most of the crime in this neighborhood. The city is well aware of these properties, and I was told by a lieutenant @DallasPD that they have repeatedly asked @CityofDallasD14 @ridleyfordallas to shut them down. Obviously @CityOfDallas doesn’t give a shit. My last contact with @ridleyfordallas was about this property, where he told me it was a civil matter, and to take it up with the court. That was five years ago. Should tell you everything you need to know about the city management and how they hate us all and only care about themselves. @KBTDallasCM @dallasenfuego @DallasMayor @Johnson4Dallas @caraathome @GayDWillis13 @ChadWestDallas @KenPaxtonTX @GregAbbott_TX @wfaa @NBCDFW @DallasExpress @MontyBennett @JesseForDallas @RafaelAnchia @JudgeClayJ #crime #crakhead @DanPatrick @FBIDallas #dallas #texas @ChiefComeauxDPD

I would say with strong confidence that it was a Methanie. They walk in the middle of the street all the time. It was bound to happen. @RTR_bronin is right. Crack island is the only solution. Thoughts? @dallasenfuego @RTR_bronin

The Slums of Highland Park retweeted
“The People’s House” on a Sunday All of those cars lined up have carts on the sidewalk filled with supplies for living on the streets. Limited food, mostly all supplies to live outside of shelter.

This will surprise nobody. And the hornswogglers who run American cities will just ignore it bc the homeless-municipal complex provides them job security. The real solution is uncomfortable for a lot of people, but until men of conviction & bold political will stand up and say “enough,” the homeless will continue to blight our cities. #CrackIslandNow 🏝️ @RTR_bronin
A documentary gave a homeless man $100,000 with no strings attached. Six months later, it was all gone. In 2005, filmmakers handed Californian Ted $100,000, free financial advice, and a camera crew to record what happened. At first, his life improved. He moved into a motel, then an apartment, and finally had stability. But as the money disappeared, he rejected expert advice, trusted only his instincts, and eventually returned to living under the bridge. The experiment showed that money can create opportunity, but without the habits to manage it, opportunity can disappear just as quickly.

Reason 113 why I won’t enjoy a meal at a park picnic table. Also I had a package delivered by Amazon this morning at 538am. 545am this ho stole it. I chose key delivery but the guy that delivered it looked like someone who didn’t speak English so he opened and shut my garage and left it at the front. Idiots. #dallas #porchpirate @CityOfDallas @CityofDallasD14 @caraathome @ChadWestDallas @DallasMayor @KBTDallasCM @KenPaxtonTX @GregAbbott_TX @DallasPD @DallasParkRec

We should require aptitude tests for our leaders. #melatonin.
RACISM? Dallas leaders want Big Tex to become black or at least light brown. Would they change his voice and diction too? Why not make him gay or even trans?
