Good liberals in Denver must be proud of their War on Homeless People Mayor

Denver, CO – After Mayor Michael Hancock released a statement on Saturday, December 10th, about a supposed policy change to the confiscations of people’s survival gear including blankets and tents, over twenty five news outlets have praised him for this apparent temporary winter-month “end” to confiscations including 9News and CBS Denver.

As we outlined in our last article about the sweeps, and what these news outlets are failing to report on, is that the mayor’s statement does not end the confiscations of people’s survival gear. The only change in policy is that the police have been told they cannot take people’s property as evidence while enforcing the unauthorized camping ban, but they can continue taking people’s property while enforcing the encumbrance ordinance. Denver police (DPD) are still enforcing policies which give them the power to confiscate belongings, move people along, and criminalize people without housing–all under the encouragement and approval of Mayor Hancock.

This POS asshole needs to resign now! I mean now!

And if this is what modern Democrats do and want to do and support, we deserve to lose. I am fucking disgusted at this shit. Aren't we a fucking proud country!

It's bad enough people are homeless (including veterans, which is a God damned disgrace X1,000,000), but the fact that cities have declared the acts homeless people do to survive is beyond disgraceful. I knew this would happen with cities started passing laws outlawing panhandling.

Primary this motherfucker, Denver! And primary any "Democrat" who thinks this a good idea.
