The Supreme Court could soon boost the bipartisan effort to criminalize homelessness (m(https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/the-supreme-court-could-soon-boost-the-bipartisan-effort-to-criminalize-homelessness/ar-BB1hlhJM?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=7be8d618bac14fd2839e3415bbfe40f0&ei=24)sn.com)(http://msn.com)(https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/the-supreme-court-could-soon-boost-the-bipartisan-effort-to-criminalize-homelessness/ar-BB1hlhJM?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=7be8d618bac14fd2839e3415bbfe40f0&ei=24) There's concerning legislation underway, especially in Kentucky, which could effectively criminalize poverty and fail to protect human life. "Advocates for unhoused Kentuckians have criticized the bill's anti-homelessness provisions, one of which provides that a property owner's use of force is "justifiable" if that individual thinks robbery, criminal trespass or "unlawful camping" is taking place on the property. That justification extends to "deadly physical force" in the event a defendant believes an unhoused person is attempting to "dispossess" them of the property, robbing them or committing arson." Cruel and unusual punishment - deadly force in exchange for "attemping to disposs" - as determined by the property owner's opinion, not the court. Also, physical force justified simply by "unlawful camping" means property owners could get away with assault and battery. Laws like this passed by the state would not make homeless people likely to trust "state camps".

But the long-term effects of natural disasters - or even from long-term existing conditions, such as ongoing poverty - continue long after the headlines. Thoughts?
