The Economic Collapse
One Lawmaker Is Literally Smashing The Belongings Of The Homeless With A Sledgehammer
By Michael Snyder, on November 20th, 2013
There
is a war on compassion in America today. You are about to read about a
Hawaii lawmaker that has used a sledgehammer to smash up at least 30
shopping carts that homeless people were using. Yes, you read that
correctly. He is actually carrying a sledgehammer around so that he can
destroy the belongings of homeless people. He claims that it is his
intention "to do something practical that will really clean up the
streets". But as crazy as that sounds, the truth is that he is not
alone. As you will read about below, there are dozens of major cities
all over the country where feeding the homeless has been banned. In
many of these instances, public officials are very open about the fact
that the goal is to make their cities "cleaner" and "safer" places to
live. They simply do not want the homeless around. In fact, there are
some cities such as San Diego and San Francisco where social workers are
actually giving homeless people one-way bus tickets out of town. If
you doubt this, just keep reading. The United States is becoming a very
cold, heartless place, and homeless people are increasingly being
treated like human garbage in this country. So how bad will the
treatment of the homeless become when the economy gets really bad?When I first heard about a state representative out in Hawaii that was using a sledgehammer to go after homeless people, I could hardly believe it. But it is actually true. The following is a short excerpt from an RT article that was published earlier this week...
In the past two weeks residents in Hawaii noticed what appeared to be a crazed individual carrying a sledgehammer through the streets of Honolulu, a state lawmaker looking to rid the city of homeless people by targeting their belongings.How cold and heartless can one person possibly be?
State Representative Tom Brower (D) is currently dedicated to dealing out his own personal brand of “justice” by seeking out homeless people and destroying their possessions. Brower estimates that he has used the sledgehammer to smash at least 30 shopping carts, rendering them useless by bashing in the front wheels.
“I got tired of telling people I’m trying to pass laws. I want to do something practical that will really clean up the streets,” he told Hawaii News Now. “I find abandoned junk, specifically shopping carts, and I remove them.”
The truth is that almost all of us are just a few bad breaks from being out on the street.
Hasn't he ever needed a helping hand at some point in his life?
Unfortunately, government control freaks are cracking down on those that are trying to provide that "helping hand" all over the nation. For example, one Christian ministry in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania has recently been threatened with jail time for feeding the homeless...
Every week for more than five years, staff and volunteers associated with Isaiah 61 Ministries have provided meals, toiletries, clothing and other forms of assistance to the homeless men and women of Harrisburg, as well as to the poor and elderly. Because of the recent threats made by the Dauphin County commission, Isaiah 61 Ministries and several other ministries engaged in similar religious exercises throughout the rest of the week have been unable to serve those most in need of help at this time of year.And in a previous article I wrote about an organization called Love Wins Ministries that made national headlines when police in Raleigh, North Carolina threatened to arrest them if they continued to distribute sausage biscuits and coffee to homeless people living in the heart of the city. The following is from a first-hand account from someone who actually witnessed the police threats...
On the morning of Saturday, August, 24, Love Wins showed up at Moore Square at 9:00 a.m., just like we have done virtually every Saturday and Sunday for the last six years. We provide, without cost or obligation, hot coffee and a breakfast sandwich to anyone who wants one. We keep this promise to our community in cooperation with five different, large suburban churches that help us with manpower and funding.Sadly, these are not isolated incidents. This kind of thing is happening all over the nation.
On that morning three officers from Raleigh Police Department prevented us from doing our work, for the first time ever. An officer said, quite bluntly, that if we attempted to distribute food, we would be arrested.
Our partnering church brought 100 sausage biscuits and large amounts of coffee. We asked the officers for permission to disperse the biscuits to the over 70 people who had lined up, waiting to eat. They said no. I had to face those who were waiting and tell them that I could not feed them, or I would be arrested.

State Representative Tom Brower (D) is currently dedicated to dealing out his own personal brand of “justice” by seeking out homeless people and destroying their possessions. Brower estimates that he has used the sledgehammer to smash at least 30 shopping carts, rendering them useless by bashing in the front wheels.
“I got tired of telling people I’m trying to pass laws. I want to do something practical that will really clean up the streets,” he told Hawaii News Now. “I find abandoned junk, specifically shopping carts, and I remove them.”
Brower admitted he was “disgusted” with homeless people during an interview with the Honolulu Star-Advertiser, adding that he has not taken a homeless person’s cart directly from them but that is a possibility in the future.
“If I see shopping carts that I can’t identify, I will destroy them so they can’t be pushed on the streets,” he said. “I don’t want to be threatening anybody. I think it’s threatening to steal things and then walk around with them like it’s their own.”
Brower did say that he is unafraid to wake people up, though.
“If someone is sleeping at night on the bus stop, I don’t do anything, but if they are sleeping during the day, I’ll walk up and say, ‘Get your ass moving,’” he said.
