The Supreme Court just gave the greenlight for state, county and municipal criminalization of homelessness. The increased negative framing and punitive social norms toward poverty and homelessness are going to lead to more assaults and murders of unhoused people.

Even before Grants Pass we've seen attacks on unhoused people. Rich people setting fires at encampments. Things like that. If you don't think this decision is going to embolden or radicalize people into assaulting people who live on the street, you're naive.
