Is the joke that this person enjoys college football and also gives 10% of their income to their church?

Nah, we just need to rebuild a bunch more of these sorts of things and give the system more powers to commit people there so the mentally ill aren't stuck on the streets.

Probably a lot cheaper than the constant policing and property crime and assault related costs, jail doesn't help them either.

No one should be living on the streets or "forced" to turn to crime.
Are you homeless for economic reasons? Here's some very affordable housing and unemployment payments and educational/training resources.
Are you homeless because you're a drug addict and spending all your welfare money on drugs? Here's some very cheap housing that comes direct from your welfare payments, here's a bunch of programs to help addicts, here's forced treatment if your drug abuse constantly results in crime and violence.
Are you homeless because you're mentally ill? Here's a variety of free voluntary mental health resources, in-patient facilities, and forced treatment/institutionalization for people who will always be a danger to them selves and others.
Bam, streets cleaned up, crime reduced, human suffering reduced, and probably money overall saved in the long run.

There used to be something of an organized pushback against that treatment of people in popular culture.

Even into the 19th century, they could still hold their own against modern empires

quote:

When we would wear the Rebel flag we would place a free Huey button, Black Panther button and a rainbow button surrounding the flag. Some had the flag embroidered on the back of their vests and some on berets. It did invoke much conversation. Not so much as the flag as the other buttons. We would explain the Young Patriots goals and that all poor people have the same poverty and the poor Blacks ,Latinos, American Indians and Asians are all being exploited and kept in poverty by the capitalist system. Once we broke the ice we were able to identify their needs and get them help. Many were surprised to hear that the Black Panther Party played a major role in getting medical personnel and equipment for the Young Patriot health Clinic and provided food for kids before they went to school.

We stood shoulder to shoulder with the Panthers security detail wearing our flag. With the confederate flag being surrounded by the Free Huey, Black Panther and Coalition we were making a statement to Mayor Daley to “gently caress YOU” you are not going to keep us separated any longer and that his plan of racism and repression had failed.

As we grew politically and respected the Black Panthers and the Young Lords we determined that there was no place in the movement or the world for the Confederate flag. It symbolizes a period of time when our black brothers and sisters were mere property to sold or destroyed at the white man`s convenience. And that the Confederate flag was created to serve as a symbol of plantation owners to perpetuate slavocracy. I would not recommend it`s use by any group or anyone or any purpose and believe that it should be destroyed as a tribute to those who suffered pain and anguish in a great dark period of our history.
