Anti-homeless spikes

[Lepplady]

The installation of anti-homeless spikes sparks outrage.

Not like the money spent putting those spikes in could have gone for shelters or anything...

Just when you think you've seen it all China goes and ups the ante with "Homeless Spikes"

SMH

I don't see the logic here, I mean, they gotta go somewhere, if your gonna lay huge ass spikes under the bridges where they sleep, where are they suppose to go?? It's not like you'll be any happier when they are sleeping in the middle of the sidewalk.

I hate to offend anyone, but if you can say "China" you can say "Communist".

 

[Lepplady]

People don't care where they sleep, as long as it's somewhere else.

So what if some little kid trips and falls on the spikes? What then? This is such a waste of time and money that could be put to better use- like building a shelter for the homeless....

That's a really REALLY good question. Never mind the social ramifications. Those things are dangerous. Imagine the lawsuit the crown faces.

The whole concept of the spikes is so disgusting that I hadn't even considered that.

That's what I thought, and then I saw it was in China, so "What then?" Well, nothing, good luck to any Chinese citizen trying to sue thier own government, they'd probably get 20 years for treason.

...wouldn't it have been simpler to run em over with tanks?....

I saw that one article said China. The rest say London. And I think there's a London phone booth in the picture.

I think they tried that...

 

[GNTLGNT]

I think they tried that...

...oh I know, but gross sarcasm was the only way I could react to such barbaric idiocy....

More and more cities here in the U.S. are coming up with ways to make the homeless more miserable. Here are a couple of examples of "bum proof benches".

Gee,why bother to stop there fellas..

 

[Shasta]

I don't even like it when I see bird spikes. This is disgusting. And I live in a city with a serious homeless problem. This is not the solution.

I understand that homelessness in an area causes property values to go down and businesses to suffer, but come on. These people are human. Let's get some mental health, housing, and drug resources for these people!

The rolling bench? To roll the bums off?
What kind of heartless jerk would crank somebody off a bench when they're just trying to get some sleep?
