Just days ago, German police were “securing” Christmas markets by harassing old German ladies to confiscate their Swiss Army knives that they carried for self defense. Their priorities are completely insane.
This illustrates why the term “homeless” is misleading. The vast majority of those on the streets are there due to severe drug addiction and/or mental illness.
The issue not that they got a little behind in their mortgage payments and would be back on their feet if someone just offered them a job.
