I'm getting to the point where my compassion is exhausted. Our next mayoral election is going to be decided on this single issue, because the bums are wrecking our parks and public spaces, destroying our amenities, and stealing everything they can get their hands on. We got bedbugs in the fall riding the subway because of the bums using the subway as a crash pad. Cost me $3,000 and a month of living out of a suitcase to de-bug the house.

To paraphrase Captain Kirk in The Trouble With Tribbles, "I want them out of my city. I don't care if takes every man we've got, I want them out of the city." At this point, I don't care what you do with them: put them on buses to North Dakota, whatever, just get them the hell out of my city.

We don't mollycoddle them up here in the Dakotas so they like you all a lot better and will stay there.
