Title: Sean's Outpost Under Attack
Post by: tkbx on March 19, 2014, 10:39:25 AM
Pensacola, the city which Sean's Outpost is in, as well as the county, are taking seemingly unfounded legal action against them.

"As of now a health inspector and code enforcer are being paid every week to inspect the property and no violations have been reported; in fact in the latest report it was written that the property has remained clean and orderly and is not in violation of any laws."

If I had to guess, I'd say that there is a 99.99999999% chance that the city is doing this because they don't want the homeless moving in, and has nothing to do with the bit/alt coins hes collecting through donations.

Yes they dont want to be known for a 60,000-person homeless tent village.

Afraid of some tents and tables? They might not like it, but any harassment they face is bound to be because of the fact that it's a homeless reservation, not because of Bitcoin.

the state is fast enough to employ an inspector and pay him a good wage of maybe 20,000 meals ($25k)

but would easily say no to donating that same $25k to a foodbank/ soup kitchen / hostel

The state just follows the voters.  Politicians will do whatever gets them re-elected.

This is an issue the idea seems to support helping others but given the capitalist society I guess those type of goodwill efforts are pushed to the backburner.
Food ok government housing OK
I agree it is selectively enforced laws

the purpose of the funds are to feed the hungry, even the guy doing the charity prefers the money used to feed the poor. rather then feeding the rich lawyers.

i feel sorry for the guy as it seems his state authorities dont believe in charity.

if only the state employed a homeless person, trained them up in kitchen prep/hygiene, and then got them to work at the outpost to clean and do the report filling in regularly that seans outpost meets hygiene standards high enough for public consumption. (meaning higher then a clean home of family consumption).

but no... they prefer highly paid inspectors to torture charity.. whats next, comdemn all foodbank buildings?

In case anybody's forgotten, I slept there for 5 outta the 7 days I was down there conducting Thanksgiving at Satoshi Forest. I spoke with the neighbors and with some of the guys that use the site.

I met this guy presenting his case at the city council meeting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9UbD-yAd1s

The gentlemen could easily be considered a prick by some, but his main concern is protecting his ever decreasing property value.

There is a solution to all this, of which I will weigh in later.

If Sean's Outpost really cared about the homeless they wouldn't feed them they would buy them a bus ticket to Georgia.

Florida has a problem.

Once again, the Sunshine State has been deemed the most dangerous in the nation for homeless people -- the third such designation it has earned since 2008 -- according to the National Coalition for the Homeless' 2012 database of known cases of violence.

In fact, Florida had more than double the number of hate crimes against the homeless in 2012 (15) as the runner-up, California (7), according to the report. Three of country's 18 fatal events occurred in Florida, including the running over of a 73-year-old in Tampa, the murder of a 43-year-old in Deerfield Beach by a suspect who wanted to kill a stranger, and the strangulation of a 40-year-old homeless man by two Hallandale Beach boys, ages 14 and 17, who had asked him to secure a prostitute.

“This violence is prompted by a profound lack of empathy for fellow human beings, the same moral failure that allows our society to tolerate the larger tragedy of homelessness,” Jerry Jones, NCH's executive director, said in a statement. “Homeless people deserve our help and protection. These attacks are a shocking failure in our society’s obligations toward the most vulnerable among us.”

The database even includes cases of "multi-media exploitation," as in the case against Real Housewives star Alexia Echevarria's son Peter Rosello. Rosello, 25, was arrested after filming himself approaching a sleeping homeless man in Miami Beach, taunting him, and punching him in the genitals before running away.

In another Florida case, a Miami man was panhandling at an intersection when he was beckoned to a truck and stabbed in the neck in what police called a random act of violence.

“I thought he was going to give me a dollar bill and I went over to say ‘Thank you,’ and next thing I know I see the pick come out,” victim David Mercado told CBS Miami. “He just smiled and laughed and took off."

The NCH reports a documented relationship between local laws that criminalize homelessness and an increase of violence against homeless people. The city of Miami recently moved to criminalize homelessness by attempting to repeal protections that allow the homeless to perform "life-sustaining" activities -- such as cooking in public -- without charges. A judge is expected to weigh in on a proposed settlement.

The NCH database also revealed that across the country, 96 percent of all perpetrators of attacks on the homeless were male, and nearly 80 percent were under 30. Twenty-one percent of the attacks were fatal.

I would bet that most of the numbers in that study are based on raw numbers and not percentages. Florida has a huge amount of homeless. Great weather all year round for them.

What you said adds nothing to the conversation.

Who cares what some person's tipjar is? It's like telling someone on facebook that their opinion doesn't matter because they don't have any facebook friends. You're just ignoring the argument and attacking the person. Very childish.

Maybe we can take up a collection and send half of them to San Diego. It's pretty nice there in the winter. If there were fewer in Florida the citizens might stop trying to kill them.
