MIAMI (CBSMiami) – Residents of a homeless sex offender camp near Hialeah who have been ordered to leave have been given an extension.
Monday morning, Miami-Dade police showed up the area but said they were not there for enforcement.
“We want to be able to address this in a tactful way. We’d rather go in with the approach that we will educate. The time is going to come where they are going to have to move simply because of the fact that this has already been deemed by the health department as a sanitary nuisance. We also have to take into consideration the surrounding businesses, the surrounding neighborhoods. We can’t allow something that is already a sanitary nuisance to be affecting the community or the surrounding businesses,” said Miami-Dade police Det. Alvaro Zabaleta.
Police are handing out information on resources to try and get the people to move along before the Thursday deadline. The county’s sanitation services will begin cleaning the area an removing porta-potties Monday morning.
“All that we can do, as we do with all the homeless people in our community, is try to find a place, and we even give them rental assistance — up to six months of rental assistance if they can find a compliant address,” Miami-Dade Deputy Mayor Maurice Kemp said.
See where they put the blame “IF THEY ” not if WE can find a place.
Books say there are places for them to go. I think we should challenge him to list the place where to go. I think one person from the newspaper did and Book had “no comment” or something like that.
People say that this is not punishment and spend huge amounts of our tax dollars defending that position, but think about this. If you are put into a position BY THE GOVERNMENT where your life is WORSE than if you were incarcerated, how is it not punishment? Even if you are put in in solitary confinement in some supermax prison, you may slowly go mad, but you do have electricity, heat, clean water, food and nominal medical care. Not the best by any stretch of the imagination, but better than what some of these poor folks experience every day at the hand of alleged do-gooders like Ron Book and his political cronies.
” Monday morning, Miami-Dade police showed up the area but said they were not there for enforcement. ”
Yea, they are not there for enforcement, they were there for intimidation. This is the same tactic teenage bullies use before they use force on their victims.
I say stay. They can’t handle the influx in the jail. They will instantly flood an already overcapacity system. Then the county will be force to release them or release inmates who actually pose a threat to society.
And with the lawsuit looming over them, i see this as a win win situation. Book is digging his own grave.
As someone who has been inside the Miami-Dade Jail, that’s asking an awful lot of these guys.
Well whats the alternative?
Ultimately uniting and forming a militia and retaliating by selective elimination.
This wont stop. This is a society that wants everyone to pay for their mistakes. But when they make mistakes the want to preach forgiveness.
Backed into a corner a wild animal will be provoked.
That’s such a good point. Our society wants everyone to pay for their mistakes (even 20 yrs after the fact, see Bill Cosby), but at the same time tries to preach second chances and tolerance. That’s the sign of a society that’s mentally ill or bipolar or both. But it’s called moral relativism. People base their opinions and beliefs on what’s morally convenient for them at the moment.
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him, shall not perish but have everlasting life. Except sex offenders and murderers. John 3:16……oh wait, that’s not how that goes is it?……. Thank goodness God doesn’t have disclaimers or makes exceptions.
