Bad to treat homeless people like vermin?

What shits and pisses everywhere and occasionally bites when disturbed? What is hard on the eyes and the nose? What lowers your property value and your desire to be at a business?



A) Rats

B) Bums

C) Both



I think 'homeless spikes' are a fantastic idea. If you don't, let's see if your mind changes when all your customers take your business elsewhere because the front entry of your store smells like piss and they get hassled for spare change when trying to go buy your widgets.

It not like they're going around stabbing homeless people. They are simply creating a deterrent.

No one b*tched when Atlanta went around town just before the Olympics gathering up our bums and shipping them off to other cities. This isn't even that harsh. Screw it, if the business wants to put out bum spike, let them. It should be their option to start with. Don't like it? You don't have to shop or live there.

Agreed with stocker, it's a business not a shelter.

I think it'll help lock in the marinade and tenderize the bulk of the meat.



it should provide for a tastier experience especially if the meat is slow smoked.



oh it's not for grilling-??? That's a bummer.

Its ridiculous and will not work anyway. I'm sure they have slept in worse places. If its raining or snowing out, its nothing a few old coats and blankets can't make comfortable. Come on people....
