The Supreme Court ruled authorities can in fact penalize people for sleeping in public parks and streets.  I’m Tomi Lahren, more next. It’s been dubbed the “anti-camping” law in Oregon and last week the Supreme Court upheld it.  In a 6-3 decision, the high court ruled that Grant Pass, Oregon’s controversial ordinance cracking down on homeless camping free-for-alls in public parks and streets is in fact not “cruel and unusual punishment.” The penalty for such action is a fine or even possible jail time and while some bleeding hearts are up-in-arms, it makes perfect sense that homeless people shouldn’t sprawl out wherever they please. Why should taxpayers have our parks and public areas turned into slumber parties for the homeless- many of whom are actively using drugs and/or mentally ill?! States pump billions of our tax dollars into the homeless crisis in the naive hope we won’t have to jump over addicts sprawled out in our public parks and streets.  The Supreme Court did the right thing!  I’m Tomi Lahren and you watch my show “Tomi Lahren is Fearless” at Outkick.com
