Whose responsibility is it to protect unhoused when it’s freezing outside? An Ohio pastor opened his church to the homeless and was charged by city.

    They’re trying to kill people, just slowly and via exposure.

    Yes, that’s part of it. But what they really want is to scare the rest, for you and me and everyone else to see these headlines and feel what we’re feeling.

    Every single one of these headlines where big government brings down its full weight onto people that help others, everyone from this pastor to people who leave water in the desert to people who help ladies get abortions to even a single miscarriage that they know will offend sensibilities (Brittany Watts), are psychological pre-enforcement for an authoritarian government.

    Every single one screams: step out of line with society, and look what will happen to you too.

    It’s two birds with one stone. Clearing out the visible proof of their own inhumanity and raging mismanagement of this country’s wealth and power by letting the poor and unhoused freeze to death is only one part of it; they absolutely want that message to hang out there, unacknowledged in the freezing air, of what happens to people when they fall out of favor with society’s masters.
