Literal Garbage In The Throwaway Society

No longer mere metaphor; can't be any more obvious now, can it?

Homeless man escapes after being thrown into garbage truck with his tent in San Diego

The incident occurred Dec. 22 in downtown San Diego as police and code-enforcement officers were performing a regular clearing of homeless encampments.

The abatements involve removing property left on the street, usually by homeless people.

According to people familiar with what happened, police officers at the scene approved the area for clearing before work crews heaved the tent into the trash truck. Presumably they thought the tent was filled with bedding and other discards.

San Diego police did not respond to questions about why officers allowed the code-enforcement team to proceed with the removal of an occupied tent.

Better luck next time, eh coppers?

And where are all the libertarians motherfuckers hypocrites? Shouldn't they be standing up for the property rights of these dispossessed citizens?
