This is unbelievable… The city of St. Petersburg, Florida decided that the best way to handle their homeless problem was to destroy the very tents these people live in.
At first I thought this must be a sensational headline, but when you watch the video it’s exactly how it sounds. Even the reporters seem like they can’t believe what is going on.
The mayor’s office, police and fire departments were all involved. I have a feeling that there is going to be a massive class-action suit on behalf of these homeless people because the government just showed up and started destroying people’s personal property.
The homeless people were literally in tears…
You can see more from Fox Tampa Bay.
The cold weather is back in St. Pete. Now the Mayor is soaking them down with cold water.
