“Soft on Crime” Legislation Leading to More Guns & Violence on Denver Streets
Dr. Terry Hildebrandt is in the news again! In this article, he talks about how irresponsible policies and legislation are exacerbating crime and illegal camping in Denver.
In addition to harmful policies, the current M.O. is for authorities to offer treatment services and shelter to the unhoused living in tents (which is almost universally declines) rather than insist on it - especially for people suffering from addiction and/or severe mental illness.
Denver can find shelter for everyone on the street - there are hundreds of beds available every night.
Hildebrandt says that “I see no excuse left to ever tolerate allowing anyone to rot on the street in an illegal tent to overdose and freeze to death. How is there any dignity for the unsheltered in allowing dangerous illegal encampments to remain?”
Citizens for a Safe and Clean Denver know he’s right … Do you agree?
