    So as long as they're peaceful, you'd be perfectly okay with it?

    You're talking about banishment. Now theres something we can discuss: is banishment constitutional?

    One thing about aggressive homeless people, they dont respond well to a stern talkin' to. How do you propose to make them not be violent?

    It would bother me, but no more than my neighbors barking dog or the trucks lacking mufflers. I would tolerate it like I do the rest. I'd probably build a fence.

    The ones who attack people would get shot. The rest would stop attacking people or move on. Lots of people carry here.

    If they have nowhere to go, what else can they do? Are we going to criminalize their very existence, when the real crime is that there is a homelessness problem in our affluent society?

    Homeless problem? Nah, these are predators who are on the run. They need to be gone, I do not care how.

    I do. And I can think of many methods to dissuade people from squatting near my property. Given those methods may be of questionable legality, I'll leave it at: get creative.

    Alright, you started out sounding like a Democrat who was trying to defend Democrat policies, but you're clearly a Republican/conservative. Am I correct?
