Criminalization hitting the fan at National Level Criminalization hitting the fan at National Level The president threats are becoming a reality, the new head of the USICH Robert Marbut (News Article Link: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/robert-marbut_n_6738948 How A Traveling Consultant Helps America Hide The Homeless) “We don’t use the term shelter,” Marbut says. “We use the term transformational campus.” “Velvet Hammer, approach” Marbut offers the same basic advice to most cities: Cut the goodies and build a shelter like jails facilities.

@PplsCityCouncil @MayorOfLA @StreetWatchLA @KtownforAll This is the kind of simple “cleaning” you’re talking about, right @MayorOfLA? Where they just take you whole house and load it into a dump truck? That’s how you clean house @CD6Nury @MayorOfLA?
