u/Many_Leading1730 18h ago
Actually is it straight up kidnapping? You basically abduct a person using false pretense.

u/SnooRabbits1411 18h ago
Yeah I was being a little too generous maybe. I only said borderline bc the kidnapped person in this scenario went along of their own volition, although they were being lied to. Either way, neither a moral nor an effective solution.

u/Any_Pollution6633 1d ago
Immoral, most homeless people have some sort of a system for the places they live in. They know the cops, the shelters, and the people to an extent. Completely relocating them absolutely fucks them over and they likely lost all the shit they had stashed wherever they were sleeping. Fucked up

A lot of homeless are also mentally ill & their system in place is the only stability they have. Its not uncommon for them to create a support system within their own communities within their city. Knowing transport systems, when & where they can take a shower, where all the shelters & pantries are can be the difference between life & death. Some people are homeless by choice & still have family nearby that they can lean on when they're ready. They could have people, cops, family or even other homeless checking in on them. Some are working on NOT being homeless & this person without knowing shit about another person just decides to up & move them to another location without permission.
That homeless person now needs to find a way back to their support system & what might be the only city they've ever lived in with money they likely don't have or need for basic survival. They're not a dog you can just drop off anywhere & abandon them.

Just looking at various state statutes on Google, kidnapping seems to require abduction by force or show of force, but the crime of abduction is broader and can include transporting someone through deception. Obviously depends on the state

u/1nhaleSatan 19h ago
When coercion and deception is applied (ie offer of payment), I believe it is either abduction or trafficking in most places. Admittedly, I don't know how the law is written in Texas, but any decent lawyer could easily make some kind of case I would assume

Yes, if someone is homeless here, it is widely considered as a moral failure on the individual and almost never a failure of the system. Not to say that every homeless person is a saint but the system failed at some point if they were allowed to end up in that situation.

I don’t agree with the 4Chan user who wrote this, but we do have a significant number of homeless people that cause problems for the communities they reside near/in, so Americans have generally become less empathetic towards the homeless population as a whole.

your reponse seems like you are taking 2 sides. but my response is a bit confusing too.
But I am not really taking sides. I think its fake.
BUT, assumming its real: he is LYING and deceptive. he offers them a task and $$. and then he abandons them. thats fraud and criminal. He should give them the 200 or food and drop them off at a shelter or addiction clinic.
As I suggested. simply offering a free ride and someone takes it? well its their choice.

I feel bad but at the same time it is a problem. i mean like a BIG problem where I'm from. you'd think with how cold it is here there wouldn't be so many but there are. The worst part is the mental health issues bc there's no help for anyone anymore. Those in power claimed only those on drugs and too lazy to work were after the help, im looking at 1 person for every 10-15 (i work at a gas station so the numbers others see wouldn't be the same) of those half of them are clearly suffering from mental illness. Of those, half are or have the potential to become dangerous.
They hover around the building, chase customers away, always bothering people and that's if they aren't all agitated only talking to themselves making everyone wonder if they're gonna snap and start stabbing people. They make horrific messes everywhere they go, that, lucky me, I get to clean up bc of where I have to work.
Truthfully they need help, but there's no help coming and this is the situation we're stuck in. Moral? No, but if the people who have the ability to assist them would instead of taking away their help which if ofc immoral then the above image likely wouldn't exist forcing others into a position of immorality.
I don't for a moment believe that person actually did that but moving homeless from city to city by other means has been a thing for a long time. In fact some of the reason my area has so many homeless now is because the the nearest major city implemented laws and structural design to prevent them from being comfortable there and surviving there. Long before this date in history have people been being immoral to homeless. This dude would just be one more story in a long book of atrocities if they actually did what they claimed to have done.
To counter this question, I ask "What is the morality of forcing people into employment for others benefit?" is that not tantamount to slavery? If a slave had an option to pick cotton or oranges is it not still slavery that he/she is forced to be there? To pit their survival against basic slavery? There's a laundry list of immoral actions by society long before this guy was ever even born all leading up to this. Dude wouldn't have had the opportunity to be immoral if not for the hoards of immoral people before him.

There is a lawsuit I’m aware of near me involving a county sheriff and EMS. The town’s homeless man, who had mental illness and cognitive delays, was causing problems and having an episode. The sheriff thought it would be a great idea to relocate him outside the town limits and make it another jurisdiction’s problem.
They took him down an exit a few miles past the county line, dropped him off under a bridge without any supervision, and left. He then ended up wandering under the bridge—probably horrified and trying to get some kind of help—and walked right in front of an eighteen-wheeler, where he was killed.
This is, sadly, a real thing that goes on.

Deeply immoral. It's selfish way of getting rid of someone, who doesn't have money or power to seek justice for obvious cruelty. It's like a billionaire made a human safari just because they can afford it and people that are hunted can't do anything against billionaires (which in different form happened in Sarajevo btw).
Also, it's a cruel act for virtually no benefit - does driving a homeless person 4 hours somewhere really change his own city for better? Does one homeless person make a difference? I doubt it.

This is already a fairly common tactic cities and governments use both to 'solve' their homeless problem, and hurt their opposition.
What often happens is they'll move them out of cities that have governments of their party and into areas being governed by their opposition. Beyond making the area feel worse to live in, it gives them bad statistics to bandy about come election time.
It's an incredibly shitty thing to do on both a governmental level, and just to the homeless generally.

Homeless people are pretty paranoid. They aren't getting into a stranger's car without some sort of partial payment upfront, and maybe not even then. And if you pay them, then they got enough cash for a greyhound or whatever back to Corpus Christi.
