FOX news host suggests we euthanize the homeless, someone goes into two encampments and starts shooting. 13 people shot and Jacob Frey and the media are just talking about it as the new best reason to clear the encampments

I'm trying to wrap my head around this from far away and maybe it looks different on the ground, but what is going on with addiction programs in Minneapolis? Because a google is showing me that area has absolutely no methadone or suboxone clinics and if drugs are really the issue shouldn't there be?
Bunch treatment centers got shutdown because they over billed medicaid. Bunch more shutdown because of lack of funding. Don't know about Hennepin county (Minneapolis) but next door Ramsey county (St. Paul) is shutting down their county treatment home and stopped efforts to build new ones.
Basically while we blame everything on the drug addicts we've done nothing to help them stop being drug addicts, Similar is done with homelessness. Where the "solution" seems to be to destroy their property (in violation of court orders) at encampments and hope that means they stop existing.
Whole of local governments have taken a tough on addiction and tough on homelessness approach, it's not clearly not working, but the governments have claimed victory over and over again after every encampment they destroy, that just moves to a different area.
I think the only person who might even potentially bring up what happened on fox “news” is @jessicatarlov.bsky.social, but I’m not holding my breath
So now ppl just shoot up homeless and unhoused ppl… for sport?? I need to be adopted by another country. Plz @radiocanadainfo.bsky.social @charlieangus104.bsky.social
no details yet, but I was just listening to a radio show episode last night where I heard of the evils of fostering violent rhetoric, and how before there's unity we must confront that with the truth and demand accountability, and I'm wondering why that fox host still has his job after what he said.
