What a dehumanizing way to talk about homeless people :/
People you know, and yourself, could become homeless tomorrow. This dehumanization leads to violence against homeless people.
They’re people too and they deserve a place to be. The solution to homelessness is not just moving them to another side of town, but among other things reducing the cost of apartments and houses.
Let’s assume this is real, if you are noisy to the point of bothering others and you happen to be spending your time on the street doing it, being called derogatory names is expected, irrespective of your home ownership status.
The post is not just about calling people derogatory names, it is also about flying a drone with a voice message. When push comes to shove, the voice message is a threat of calling the police. Where are the crackheads going to go now ?
They have no other place to be. So asking them to leave is just asking them to go to a new place, and then a new place after that and so on, while each day some of them die due to cold, violence and other accumulating factors.
This is a systematic issue, and we need to fix the system and be compassionate, rather than just push poor people around.

Rehab.
Who said they were homeless? That’s a pretty pejorative assumption you’re making.
Are all Crackheads homeless?
Not necessarily, but it is often used as a derogatory word about homeless people.
Whether it’s perfectly synonymous, my point still stands about respecting the humanity of other people
I’ve never heard people use the terms interchangeably. There are homeless people, crackheads, and homeless crackheads.
Wait, no your Point just crumbled to dust.
You say he is disrespectful towards homless people because he calls them Crackheads and uses a drone to shoo them away.
But then you say you don’t even know if he really meant homless people because Crackheads are not necessarily homeless.
In fact, you just said he meant homless instead of Crackheads, and now you are angry about something you said he meant?
Most people, who call other people “crackheads” have not seen those people take drugs. They use the word because of how the other people look.
Being called a crackhead more often than not means “looks like a homeless person”.
Nope, shit untill housing prices went up so high most crack heads had stable housing.
But in most places income assistance isn’t enough so they end up homeless
The stories and information posted here are artistic works of fiction and falsehood.
Only a fool would take anything posted here as fact.
The story, whether fact or fiction, talks about homeless people this way and dehumanises them.
In case you missed the reference, OP’s image suggests they’re a villain.
I guess fiction cannot ever depict bad people because their intent dehumanizes <insert marginalized people>
