Incentivizing Death?

The #Right2Rest bill in California, SB-608, will have a hearing on Tuesday, April 7, 2015.  Some analysis of the bill has been published (see: http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201520160SB608).  In that published analysis, there is an opposition statement that makes 'incentivize' claims.  Those claims provide no factual basis.  Those claims twist logic, revealing bigoted hate.  Those claims should be deeply shameful, and vigorously challenged at all times, yet are not and have not.

The claim "may incentivize homeless activity" is perhaps more truthful as "may incentivize the pursuit of life and liberty".  The claim "establish a right to live on the streets" is perhaps more truthful as "establish a right to live".  The claim "this bill would usurp voter-approved ordinances that seek to balance the rights, health, and safety of all their residents by preventing camping, sleeping, and lying on the streets" is perhaps more truthful as "this bill would usurp voter-approved ordinances that are hate filled bigotry aimed at the elimination of 'others' by any means necessary".

The hate laws aimed at the homeless are nothing less than torture laced death sentences.  Slower than lethal injections and electric chairs but still death sentences.  The proud promoters, legislators, enforcers, and prosecutors of those murderous hate laws should be investigated, prosecuted, sentenced, and incarcerated.
