Supreme Court lets stand ruling that protects homeless who sleep on sidewalk

The Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal of a major homelessness ruling that curbs police powers in several states. Here’s what it means for L.A.

The case raised a broad question about whether the 2nd Amendment’s “right to bear arms” protected a right to carry a weapon in public. But during the oral argument on Dec. 2, Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. and several of his colleagues strongly hinted the case should be dismissed because the city was no longer enforcing the disputed ordinance.

The current case began more than a decade ago when Robert Martin and several other homeless people were given tickets or fines of $25 to $75 for camping on the sidewalk. They joined a lawsuit that challenged the punishments as unconstitutional.Advertisement A right to sleep on the sidewalk is not new for Los Angeles or city officials. In 2006, the 9th Circuit handed down a similar ruling that said the city may not enforce laws against sleeping in public places. Rather than appeal, the city negotiated a settlement with lawyers for homeless people in which it agreed to not enforce such laws from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m.

I like how you connect it to guns. Really accentuate the stereotype all homeless people are criminals. Because their existence is illegal. Y'all didn't care when a homeless woman was taken hostage then hospitalized. You're forcing people to live like you, very accepting.

poor America ...decades of wars and hard exploitation, nr 1 economy, nothing can make this system successful..

They should be sent to Maxine Waters resident immediately!

Liberals deserve this. California does too.

It is extremely imperative and necessary that all those destitute be deported to their countries of origin in order to lower the rates of rapes, robberies, crimes and drug addicts wandering around us.

There goes drumpty’s hopes of rounding them up and putting them in “camps” like he wants. LA is such a crap hole.
