~ You want thieves and rapists to freely live on my public pathways.

Those are some pretty extreme accusations to make at an umbrella group term such as "Homeless".

If your point of not prosecuting illegal campers is true, how does this relate to "Rapists and Thieves" not facing usual criminal proceedings?

In a personal side note, in many jurisdictions your blanket statements could be seen as incendiary towards a very vulnerable community.

The rape and thievery would lessen if camping laws were enforced. The vagrants would be pinched for trespass and illegal camping and drugs and whatever else.

I have reconsidered my nomenclature, and because many of these "homeless" have homes, I am going to substitute the word vagrant.
