We should have compassion for everyone, albeit it's pretty difficult for genuinely horrible people. However, compassion doesn't mean giving them everything they want without conditions. That's enablement, and isn't compassionate at all.
It's hard for people to address any other problems in their life unless they have a roof over their head, if for no other reason that the homeless are chronically severely under-slept.
It shouldn't be a crime to be homeless. It should be a crime to do criminal things.
You do you. I try not to hate anyone, although I grant myself some leniency when considering child molesters, serial killers, and other people I find despicable.
> Should they be locked up?
100% of the people I strongly dislike have done things that should earn them jail time. I don't know what your thresholds are.
That seems a bit too convenient and perfect. But people were talking about using police on homeless people, who aren't child molesters and serial killers.
> other people I find despicable
That's the problem - your personal feelings aren't relevant.
