First Thoughts Toward Homeless Resistance
by Tim Rumford

Saturday Jan 20th, 2007 9:06 PM


Originally a comment on an earlier article about City Council's
throwing
$700 Gs at Dannette Shoemaker's Parks and Recreation anti-homeless
policing,
I think Tim's thoughts on what homeless people and their housed
supporters
can do this winter to resist the War Against the Poor are worth a
separate
posting and may spark some interesting discussion.

Tim's remarks were originally published as a comment under my story
"More
Police Punishing the Poor in the Pogonip" on January 9th. at
http://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2007/01/09/
18345207.phpshow_comments=1#18347013 .

Since then, Parks and Recreation Dept. boss Shoemaker has refused my
Public
Records Act request to release the specific citations showing the
"illegal
activity" that justifies throwing $700,000 and a quadrupled police
force at
survival homeless campers.

HUFF, the Human Rights Organization, and Tim's Humanity for Homeless
are all
working through the 265 anti-homeless camping tickets issued by Ranger
John
Wallace over the last half year. We paid $75 to get copies of all these

tickets. Hopefully we can issue a report on them soon. Wallace
maliciously
or carelessly gave many of the tickets for times when the activity
cited
(covering up with blankets, a kind of "camping" under MC 6.36.010b) was

completely legal, even under the bigoted and abusive language of the
law he
was supposedly enforcing.

Local ACLU attorney Don Zimmerman, though still tracking the matter and

writing letters to the larger northern California ACLU organization,
has not
to our knowledge acted on our request to speak out publicly and
mobilize
support for poor people facing a direct denial of their 8th Amendment
rights
(the right to be free from cruel and unusual punishment).

As has been mentioned before, more than 45 homeless people died in
2006--some of them could have been saved, we believe, if they had been
living in communal camps where they could help each other.

Attorneys in San Francisco and Washington D.C. have expressed sympathy
and
interest in advising and/or assisting in a lawsuit to bring a renegade
city
attorney and city council back under the constitution and restore
survival
camping rights to vulnerable homeless people.

HRO activists Bob Patton and Bernard Klitzner met with Mayor Emily
Reilly
last Thursday. She indicated the City would continue to ticket and
arrest
homeless people in spite of the historic Jones decision in Los Angeles,

which has stopped such arrests in Los Angeles, San Diego, and Richmond.

Listen to the interview at http://www.huffsantacruz.org/brb.html under
07-01-18--January 18, 2007.

We also hope to return to City Attorney Barisone's office on Church St.

and
Vice-Mayor Coonerty's Bookshop Santa Cruz store downtown to demand
these
public officials follow the law and the Constitution. These are
possible
sites for a sleep-out or camp-in, as well.

Tim's remarks below, he tells us, represent a first draft of a more
specific
plan and call to action.

He can be reached through his blog at
http://www.humanityforhomeless.blogspot.com, at the meal he distributes

every Monday night 6-8 PM in front of New Leaf Market in downtown Santa

Cruz
on Pacific Avenue, or at the HUFF (Wednesdays 9:30 AM- 11:30 AM,
American
Cafe at 701 Ocean St. in the basement of the County Building) or the
HRO
(Saturdays 1:45-2:45 PM at the Dining Bay of the Homeless Services
Center at
115 Coral St.) meetings.



MAYBE IT'S TIME TO STAND UP

I know its easy to say and hard to do, but I really feel its time for
some
real direct action with the homeless and concerned activists and people

to
get involved. Its hard to get anyone to take such action and with the
homeless its even more difficult, they are busy surviving or may have
warrants -- there are many issues that make convincing the homeless to
stand
up against the war on poverty, which is what it is.

I do not believe that ending the sleeping ban or changing ordinances
will
happen through using the system, its a war. It does help to fight it
anyway
you can but its been long enough. I do believe the homeless can stand
up and
what we need to is something like this, please bare with this, it is an

idea
and not a perfectly thought out one I use it to make a point.

1) Organize a camp out at Pogonip; we make a camp in plane sight. We
name it
and have clear goals with a mission statement. It will be a protest
camp and
as large as possible. We have clear goals, a posted mission statement.

2) We fill it with activists and homeless with cheap disposable cameras

for
all. Some will bring better cameras and video.

3) We post signs to make it clear we are protesting. We have things
there of
value... Eventually we will get kicked out but we stick it out until
they
force us, we all take the tickets or go to jail so we can fight them.
If
they destroy property we take pictures. If we have to go to jail we do
-
unless during organizing we find it would benefit us more to use
sleeping
ban tickets better then resisting arrest.

4) We watch Ranger Wallace who has given out more sleeping ban tickets
then
all the city cops combined, mostly in the Pogonip while were camping.
We
document and get evidence of property abuse and civil and human rights
abuse
as they did in Fresno, which Robert and Mike Rhodes have written about
here
on Indybay.

5) We camp responsibly and help and teach / promote others to do the
same.
We have teach ins on camping responsibly and campers forming there own
clean
up crews who become sort of stewards of this beautiful area.

6) We clean up trash while we're there.

7) We get as much media as we possible can.

8) We use tactics such as handcuffing yourself to a tree or whatever
your
willing to do.

Getting the homeless to do this is hard but I have faith and have
talked to
many who are willing to take such an action. It will take allot of
willing
people.

I am willing are you?

Here you are back again, still working against the 
interests of homeless people, still unable to 
articulate your belief in your own words as to how 
helping to keep homeless people homeless is good for them.

You really are a tunnel-vision shitbag.

But you stupidly sympathize with them, even though you 
don't have the ability to articulate them in your own 
words.

You stupid bleeding-heart hand wringing shitbag.

Why don't you address the authors of the postings that you disagree

I already did, once, the first time you posted one of 
the moron's crap.  But I'm not interested in arguing 
with some guy who posts through a cat's paw.  You agree 
with the moron, so you should defend the point of view.

Why are you serving as the dummy's cat's paw instead of 
actually arguing the point?

That is a fair question.  But your syllogism is faulty.

Are all publishers 'cat's paws'?  There is a difference between
'publishing' and 'authoring'.  There may be very sound reasons to
publish something whether or not the content is agreeable.

There's no "syllogism"; you've misused the word.

If you think a debate is worth having, why aren't you 
participating in it?  Why are you merely acting as some 
other twit's cat's paw?

You seem clearly unable to articulate any independent 
thoughts about homelessness or any other topic.  You 
are all style and no substance.

When you jump to conclusions as you have done, a corresponding
syllogism can be inferred.

This is what you appear to be saying:

1.  Anyone who forwards another's posting concurs with its content
2.  dhm forwards other's postings
3.  Therefore, dhm concurs with what is said in the forwarded posting.
4.  Therefore, dhm is clearly unable to articulate independent thoughts
and is a cat's paw, with all style and no substance.

Do you see now where you became a moron?

You're still whiffing off - that means gutlessly 
avoiding the issue.  The issue is not syllogisms, of 
which *none* can legitimately be inferred.  The issue 
is homelessness, and your inability to articulate any 
of your own thoughts on it.

Answer the question:  why do you allow your childlike 
sympathy for homeless people to cloud your judgment 
into making you work against their interests?  They are 
not well served by things that perpetuate their 
homelessness, but that's what you're doing.

So where did you acquire your own thoughts on homelessness?
