This guy ran an internet forum promoting the sexual abuse of children and was caught with a ton of child porn and was only sentenced to 2 years?

Holy gently caress. Was the judge on the train too?

The article mentions that the three victims are two train enthusiasts and a pedophile. So this is basically an accurate cross section of Amtrak's passenger demographic.

So my city has been having homeless problems for a while now. Camps would be cleared out by Public Works crew and then they would just come back a few days later and it repeats ad nauseum. So what do they do? Spend $8,700 to put these boulders around the problem spots. How does a bunch of rocks cost almost 9 grand? Also, the rocks can be easily moved by two people.

I'm convinced there's a "homelessness industry" because the yearly budget is like $250 million and nothing gets done. Somebody is funneling that money.

The homeless people should just build their shelters around those boulders, there's some handy thermal mass right there if they can warm them up during the day. The City did them a favour!

It's a cheap version of a controversial practice called "defensive architecture."



It's supposed to prevent this



But yeah in this case the rocks are just half-assed and probably just a temporary thing.

They also got rid of a lot of the benches near city hall because of all the homeless and drug dealers but it didn't help whatsoever. The idea is to just make everywhere as uncomfortable as possible.

Wow they actually built a bridge so it will shred people who have car accidents so that they don't have to look at the homeless.

Yeah it sucks, I used to be rich but after they took the benches away I couldn't deal any more drugs. Now I'm homeless. :(

Good thing we blew enough money to provide significant aid on what's less a band-aid, more a salve made of lemon juice and salt.

Get upset at the spikes if you want, but you wouldn't let two or three homeless people sleep in your yard either.
