Police officers with box cutters showed up where St. Pete's tent city residents had moved and set up. The cops slashed their tents to the ground as residents watched in shock. Now one homeless group is moving to label St. Petersburg as the 'meanest city in the nation.' Video by Tina May. http://stpeteforpeace.org/tentcity.html

    I'm sure these people were given plenty of notices to leave, they did not leave so they were in effect TRESPASSING.

    don't stand up for them. you don't know their situation or why they weren't able to get out of there. acknowledge the fact that people lost their home because police officers cut down someones home. have some compassion because the government doesn't.

    Hey what they don't tell you here is that they were asked to move to a new 'tent city' where they helped them with getting jobs and such but had regulation about drinking and such. Many people moved but the ones who wanted to just sit around and drink were forced to leave. They were given alot of notice that this was going to happen as well

    i live in a city with many homeless squatting in parks and i dream that someone would do this here. i do feel bad for those of them that are there for reasons beyond their control but most of them are druggies who steal and break and enter into our homes. i have been burglarized twice in the last three years and almost everyone i know here has also been robbed at some point in time. so if any police are reading this, i'd like to be one who says "good job". clean the crap up out of our cities!

    This is the freedom the USA is promoting world wide! This is so terrible, but soon the people in the USA will fight against this system. Also in EU the system will collapse - this is the hope, but not real sure.

    this is so ghastly
  15. Suzanne July 4th, 2009 at 16:56:00 15



    P.S.: Sue the cops in civil court for the cost of the tents, and any DA/AG worth his wight in salt would charge the cops with criminal destruction of property.

    "The measure of a civilization is how it treats its weakest members." I wonder how they would feel if some one came by with a wrecking ball to their house.

    Yes it's all down to poor choices. There's not a chance any of them could be victims of circumstance is there?
  19. VIVIANA July 4th, 2009 at 18:27:56 19



    Typical St. Pete police...little men, big egos, no brains. We'd be better off with rent-a-cops.

    How about a Bill extending foreclosures indefinitely with the State issuing to creditors payments and interest in the form of Treasuries Bonds until the owners and their children are able to pay? Generational debt bondage is better than unsold homes or tent cities forming. Like in Japan where project-type flats take 3 generations to repay? The pogrom against the poor is caused by wealthy favouring policy makers cos they never understand what the poor face. So vote carefully in 2012, VOTE POOR.

    What kind of person would do this to someone who's homeless? Those kind of people make me sick to be part of the human race.
