Just wait until November rolls around - a little flame-throwin' might be a welcome change.

They put all the good flamethrowers on during homeless sweeps.  The rest of the season is meh.

You heard em, they didn't use flamethrower to evict people.

Now, using flamethrowers on their belongings on the other hand....

While I don't think it was sanctioned per se, several homeless camps south Austin were deliberately burned out a few years back. Sent folks to the ER and killed some of their pets. But hey, land cleared on South Congress for new condos. Yay?

This is sort of like finding a package of ground beef that says "No horse meat" on the label. Not exactly reassuring.

Homelessness is not a problem in and of itself. It is rather a symptom of a greater problem. Discuss.

It's probably a significant problem for the homeless. Though caused by other problems, and causing other problems. It's a long chain of problems, sometimes looping back on itself.

One does not flamethrower the homeless, it's just wrong.

It is however, both proper and one's civic duty to employ a flamethrower against any and all clowns one happens to encounter.

Clown, clown burning bright, raising up my mood, so light.

Just reached for my bottle of Denver BBQ Sauce.  There it is, the glowing recommendation by the Donner party survivors.  Keep it near the Soylent Green.

Fark headline is incorrect, if TLA can be trusted.   Denver denied using flamethrowers "against any individual...".  That's a classic strawman deflection, not a denial of the accusations in the lawsuit.   They are accused of using flamethrowers to burn homeless peoples' *stuff* (then rubbing it in by having a barbecue).

Be definition they are all homeless.  Now that Ringling Bros / Barnum and Bailey Circus has closed they were all released into the woods and became feral.

There is a problem with violent homeless people in denver right now.   Unprovoked attacks,  the punching game,  extremely violent panhandling (throwing things at you if you don't give money).

It's so commonplace that the local news channels hardly even report on it anymore.

Part of the problem is lack of affordable housing, and I don't have a realistic solution.
