    Jail.

    That’s the answer.

    You’ll sleep in jail. Possibly for the rest of your life.

    Also the cop will beat the shit out of you now for mouthing off.

      and in jail each resident will cost tax payers approximately $80,000.00 per year on average.

        Sure, but it will make a private security contractor and private prison company have great returns for investors!

    Very unrealistic. How come he’s still alive after talking back to a cop while being black?

    Wait y’all have cops that don’t just start wailing on that guy for not moving? Cops in my city absolutely call backup and go squad deep when homeless people stand their ground.

      Yes, that’s part of the problem. Pay for rehab with what money? Homeless shelters also aren’t a solution to homelessness, because shelters are not housing.

        No. The rehab is free.
        Province is even putting people up in apartments.

        Only rule is: no drugs in the apartment and you enroll in a free rehab program. 80% are turning it down willingly.

          I’ve never done drugs before, but I’ve heard that once people experience being high, being sober is pretty damn depressing & unbearable, And they would rather live this miserable existence high than sober. At any cost, no matter the stakes.

            Have you ever drunk alcohol? Then that means you have done drugs. Alcohol is a drug.

              I’ve literally never drank alcohol either. I mean people have asked me to try it so I’ve taken a sip and IMO it tastes disgusting like poison and I had no desire to go beyond a taste, so no I’ve never drank alcohol.

              And you’re right, alcohol is not only a drug but it’s the worst drug. And it’s socially acceptable and it will never be illegal because everyone’s addicted to it.

                Have you ever been given drugs at the doctor’s or dentist, like anesthesia or pain meds? It’s pretty rare that someone has never experienced an altered state of mind at some point.

                The majority of people have been high before, and the majority of people are not drug addicts who find being sober horribly depressing. It’s the depression that causes the drug addiction, not the other way around - though it certainly does make it harder to recover.

                  Doing street drugs or abusing prescription drugs is completely different from being put under anesthesia or having a dentist numb your mouth. They’re two different animals.
