Current Events > City tears down homeless shelter. Only in America!

(+) Yeah! (+)

Joey Lankowski is with Food Not Bombs Las Vegas. His organization helped the people living in the encampment, at first, by bringing in tents but then later they built tiny homes where they could live, keep their belongings and stay isolated from others to avoid spreading COVID-19.

"We ended up building 26 tiny homes for folks at that encampment and really it is an ideal location because it's 'out of sight, out of mind,'" he said.

Lankowski noted it wasn't just the donated huts that were destroyed but people's personal belongings, heirlooms, and personal documents needed to get off the street.

"Imagine trying to get off the streets all these hoops you have to jump through and you're so proud of yourself that you're able to get these documents. You're finally ready to get help and then all of it gets thrown away," he said, "That sense of helplessness and hopelessness is renewed and that's what I saw that day."

Who owns the property?
If I built some sheds for homeless guys in your yard, would you be quite so supportive?

These are the questions that need to be asked in situations like this before we start proclaiming EVILLLL.

Regardless of who owns the land, this is one of the lost heinous aspects.

People who have mothing to lose can be very dangerous, and the person who owns that land just took away everything those people had, and in doing so has made enemies.
