Democrat Leadership: Bicyclist Films 10 Straight Minutes of Shantytowns
JANUARY 16, 2018

If there’s any one state in this august union that could be properly termed socialist, California would certainly be in the running.

After all, the Golden State is where taxes are high, the so-called “safety net” is wide, economic growth is low and anyone who disagrees with leftist orthodoxy is chased off of state-run college campuses.

Well, if you want to call California socialist, all we can say is this: We’ve seen the future, and it doesn’t work.

If you don’t believe me, take a look at this video showing the homelessness in Orange County, California. It’s a 10-minute bike ride through one of the largest shantytowns in America:

The encampment in question is along the Santa Ana River right by Angel Stadium.

According to the Los Angeles Times, authorities decided to shut down the encampment last November, although we wish them good luck with that.

In a now-deleted post, the Retired Orange County Deputy Sheriffs blamed local officials for it: “Orange County is now a s*** hole country thanks to Sheriff Sandra (Hutchens) and her co-conspirator Don Barnes,” the description for the video reads, taking a slight page from Donald Trump.

However, while enforcement of transients laws may be local, it’s kind of hard to blame Hutchens and Barnes, or really any county government. Homelessness in California is a massive statewide problem.
