Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill Wednesday that bans homeless people from setting up tents or sleeping in public spaces, as he compared the issue of homelessness to the chaos of spring break.
So let me get this straight, if I, living in Florida, ever found a fire ant free spot to lay down and relax in a park, I’ll be harassed by cops now? Or is this just for the “shittier” neighborhoods? What about people at the beach?
The current governor and Florida legislature are a bunch of mean spirited bigoted buffoons.

Probably would depend on the color of your skin…
This is just another attempt to harass people they don’t like.
No, it’s worse. If you go sunbathing on the beach and fall asleep, you’re a criminal.
Only if you look homeless. They don’t care about you they just want to harass the already disadvantaged.
This is for the ‘good’ neighborhoods. They’ll be where enforcement happens, and it will be selective.
GL finding a fire ant free spot.
Right? lol
That’s one way of the govt providing housing. It’s the most expensive and stupidest way, but still.
But at least they get to make them suffer more. That’s the point right?
"more crime more profit " -for profit prisons, probably
Three hots and a cot Ronda
Just a massive gift to the for-profit prison industry at a time when evictions are at all time high.
They gotta see that line go up somehow.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill Wednesday that bans homeless people from existing so better off Floridans don’t have to see the poors so much
Fixed
this is just slavery with extra steps. pay rent to the Meatball’s real estate speculators or be sent to prison to work for free.
That’s literally the whole country lol
No, it isn’t lol.
Edit: Well shit!
13th amendment, big guy.
Well shit! I’ve been schooled.
Involuntary servitude if you’re a criminal. That’s some major bullshit.
It’s a fucked up system. That reminds me of the prison song by System of a Down. Check it out! Still relevant lol.
Floridians don’t even have the freedom to sleep where they want. What kind of big government shit it this?
Ronnie’s lashing out cause he failed miserably at his pwesident run.
Wasnt even 2nd choice for the GOP behind Trump lmfao
The Ronald Vs Donald was such a a let down. I was really hoping for them to get real nasty to each other.
To be swiftly reversed after Trump’s home is seized.
Well more likely when the courts reverse this, if they reverse this.
Based on his Twitter activity I don’t Trump sleeps. So he won’t have to worry about this.
It’s good thing this short impotent fuck is trying to make meat alternatives illegal instead of addressing problems like homelessness. I mean how many months are all of us from being homeless in this terrible state‽
DeSantis: “fuck people my friends gotta stay rich and get richer!”
What the actual hell??? Last week, I had clients across from Naples to Bradenton, so i woke up at 4am and started doing jobs. Made it up to Bradenton at 10am and the last client wanted to wait til 2pm to do the job
As a result i chilled, enjoyed a nice lunch, checked out the boardwalk, and after 1.5 hrs of enjoying the place, I entered my car exhausted, set an alarm to 1:30pm, and fell asleep.
You’re telling me that THIS NAP I TOOK WOULD BE ILLEGAL?!?!?!
Yes, and I have been hassled for it (not in Florida). Small town cops are the worst by far. I imagine if you have a nice car you might slip by though.
Or they can arrest you for loitering or some b.s. and impound the car. Then maybe let you go with no charges after 48 hours, but youe car is still impounded and you pay 2,000 to get it out or cops can seize and auction it off. Welcome to the USA
You need to arrest that baby over there right now. It’s sleeping IN PUBLIC!!!
“DeSantis told reporters, as he signed the bill that will take effect Oct. 1.”
I guess he’s feeling confident over how the Supreme Court is going to rule then…
Hard to imagine how they can overrule Boise but the court has made some strange decisions in recent years.
Reason #* I’m glad I don’t live in america
Dumbfuck thinks he still stands a snowball’s chance for the White House in 2028.
How was this moron elected in the first place and why dont i get a shot at it. Cant be worse, really
Florida voters. Does it need any more of an explanation? You don’t get a shot because you’re not in the “in” group (assumption based on the fact that you’re posting here and asking that question specifically). Unfortunately, it could be worse. Much, much worse. But that’s irrelevant.
I wonder if this means political officials can be sued and jailed for allowing homelessness.
Until they get every homeless person off the streets, they will be fined daily and if after 90 days they will be locked up?
