ffs, another law targeting the poor. How about we actually build some state houses instead of threatening kids with prison?
nobody asked for this. We need housing, not handcuffs.
Ah yes, because fining homeless kids $2000 is gonna fix everything. Clown world 🤡
cope. If they can't pay, they go to jail, then we pay for their bed anyway. Great logic.
So we're just gonna lock up kids for having nowhere to sleep? What a joke.
Same. Fines for poverty is just a tax on being poor.

Yeah nah get stuffed. This is just gonna fill the prisons even more.
As if our youth justice system wasn't already a disaster. This is cruel and pointless.
Look, I get that businesses want people moved on, but $2000 fine for a kid? There's gotta be a better way.
Honestly shame on anyone who supports this. These are children, not criminals.
It's not about supporting the policy, it's about public safety. But yeah, this ain't it.
What's next, fining seagulls for existing? Absolute bullshit policy.
what I'm saying. Treat them like pests.
National's law and order approach: give 'em a fine they can't pay and then lock 'em up. Genius 🙄
