et tu California?

H/T Doc Jeff for this, especially as it reminds me somewhat of the post I did just the other day, about unwelcome visitors.

That in this case it’s California won’t surprise anyone I’m sure.  But please don’t believe everyone there is some kind of fruit loop by which I mean brainless and weird.  And yeah we have more than our share of those in Ca. I am embarrassingly aware of that.  I think loving Calif. is kin to being in love with an unfaithful mistress.  Some things drive me up the wall but there are things to like. El Paseo Drive and the art galleries for one, the desert, the weather (sometimes) the Dodgers (okay they haven’t been well for awhile) the weather again cos women aren’t always bundled up head to toe for months out of the year which is important when all one can do is look. lol. Hmmmm. Seems to be a rather short list so far.  I guess I am just not familiar enough with other parts of our country or I might find places better.  But honestly, being warmer in older age is a boon. Who needs snow removal once past 50 anyway?  I loved Tennessee when we lived there (Franklin) but didn’t care much for the humid summers.  And really did enjoy Paducah with a passion, even though winters could be harsh and summers again, humid. But in the case of Paducah, I think it was the people I knew there. Some of the nicest darn folks I ever knew.  I miss that place.
But back to Ca, and the heads up Doc gave me on my home state.
Jeesh. 

Updated homeless ‘bill of rights’ passes CA legislative committee

An amended version of a bill that would extend new protections to California’s homeless population cleared the Assembly Judiciary Committee on Tuesday morning.
Assemblyman Tom Ammiano, D-San Francisco, framed Assembly Bill 5 as an attempt to create a statewide baseline of homeless civil rights, citing a proliferation of municipal ordinances cracking down on behavior like lying or sleeping on the sidewalk as examples of the “criminalization of poor people.”
“Today numerous laws infringe on poor peoples’ ability to exist in public space, to acquire housing, employment and basic services and to equal protection under the laws,” Ammiano said at a Tuesday morning hearing.

Ammiano’s legislation faced a backlash from critics who said the bill would sanction behavior like urinating in public.

So I was reminded again of this, with of course the location being London.  Where these insects have actually been seen doing the above and more.

The prime minister of Romania has admitted there is a problem with citizens of his country coming to Britain and committing crimes.

Victor Ponta said Roma gypsies, in particular, posed a ‘huge challenge’ to law enforcement by begging and stealing mobile phones.

He said he supported Britain’s moves to tighten up access to benefits for Romanian and Bulgarian immigrants.

A 40-strong band did exactly that a year ago, turning the site into a rubbish dump and being accused of knife-point robberies and other crimes.

Suitcases in tow, they have taken over a patch of grass near Marble Arch and it is feared they may set up a camp.

And come January 1st next year, there are expected to be thousands more.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
