    Shocking footage has exposed the scene in an Austin park filled with
    liquor bottles, needles, Narcan and junk 'as far as the eye can see,' as
    a homeless encampment continues to grow.

    The videos were of the West Bouldin Creek Greenbelt were posted on Monday
    by activist Jamie Hammonds, who reports from the Texas capital on the X
    page @DocumentingATX.

    'Another Greenbelt destroyed here in Austin... nothing but trash and junk
    as far as you can see... this is absolutely horrible,' Hammonds said,
    adding that the encampment was at least the size of a football field, and
    you could smell it 'even before you enter the greenbelt.'

    He continued: 'This is another beautiful Austin Greenbelt that will never
    be the same. This is infuriating... ItÂ’s just been destroyed. ItÂ’s going
    to be interesting to see if the city can actually clean this.'

    I've been to Austin but it was like 5 years ago and at the time I really enjoyed my time there. It
    was a little on the expensive side for food and so forth but not much different than NYC.
    It's sad to see the place in ruins.
    As long as people keep electing liberal minded politicians nothing will ever change and in fact
    will probably get worse.

    Back in April police found stolen high-powered military weapons and
    ammunition in the encampment. Just days ago, a fire broke out in a nearby encampment.

    It comes after more than 70 encampment inhabitants were moved by the city government to the Southbridge shelter last month, as part of the Housing- Focused Encampment Assistance Link (HEAL) Initiative, as reported by Fox
    News.

    The city has said it closes the homeless encampments that pose 'the
    highest public health and safety risks.'

    Hammonds claimed he saw a squirrel eating plastic at the Greenbelt, and
    noted the area looked 'as bad if not worse' than Violet Crown Trail,
    which has also been overtaken by a homeless encampment.

    He previously pointed the blame at Austin's Democratic leaders, arguing
    that policies have driven people from the city's streets into
    recreational areas.

    Hammonds said that areas such as the Violet Crown Trail made city
    residents feel as though that they lived in a bustling city. The trail is
    a 30-mile long hiking and cycling area that was established in 2006.

    In April, Austin resident Isabella Ricks said she was attacked in broad daylight while jogging on the trail. She escaped unharmed but said she
    wouldn't returning to the trail.

    Back in April police found stolen high-powered military weapons and
    ammunition in the encampment. The area is pictured above

    There are around 4,600 people experiencing homelessness in Austin.
    Activists say that around 1,000 of those live in shelters while they rest
    roam free. So far, the city's efforts to counter homelessness have seen anti-camping on streets laws passed and an increase in spending on public outreach programs.

    The city's council is made of ten Democrats and just one Republican, and
    is overseen by Democratic Mayor Kirk Watson. Hammonds said in a March
    2023 interview: 'We can’t keep going down this path. It takes
    constituents to push the council members to start making different
    decisions.'

    Austin city officials say they have issued nearly sixty camping citations
    since the summer of 2022.

    A May 2023 study found that around 13 percent of homeless people were
    living in greenbelt areas. That number has more than doubled from five
    percent in 2020.

    Homeless encampments have been causing chaos for liberal-run cities
    across the country, including Portland, Los Angeles, Seattle and San
    Francisco, with frustrated residents and local business owners describing scenes of soaring violence, daylight drug use and no response by police officers due to budget cuts.

    Crime in Austin across the board was slightly down in 2022 as compared
    with 2021, but aggravated assaults and auto theft was up nine and 16
    percent respectively, according to statistics from Austin Police
    Department.

    Hundreds of residents and businesses are fleeing Democrat-run cities
    across America in droves after having their livelihoods threatened by the growing number of homeless camps and soaring rates of crime

    Purse snatching also more than doubled, and pick pocketing was up 30
    percent.

    In January, a crazed man from a homeless camp in Austin terrified workers
    at a hair salon as he went to the premises while swinging a piece of
    timber.

    According to one of the workers, Laura North, such incidents outside
    Headspace Salon, which she started with friend Erin Mutschler four years
    ago, have been happening around twice a week in the last six months and
    police usually nearly an hour to respond.

    In a video recorded from the salon, women can be heard screaming as the
    man threateningly approaches the store waving the piece of wood, which
    was still attached to a lump of concrete.

    'It feels like the city dropped a bunch of children and women in the
    middle of a war zone with no training and they are just hoping for no casualties,' North told local outlet KXAN.

    'We've dealt with those types of men repeatedly for the last couple of
    weeks,' she added. 'We really did think that somebody might die.'

    That is the truth. It's why the globalist agenda isn't focused on developing third world nations
    and assisted them so that they eventually become first world nations but instead is focused on
    bringing the U.S. down to third world nation status so are a ll "alike".

    On a smaller scale it can also be observed in our education system. Instead of helping
    under performing students with extra tutoring and so forth they are diluting the curriculum
    to make it easier for the less intelligent to pass while at the same time eliminating programs for
    honor students who work very hard to learn the material.

    Exactly my point.. Democrat equality programs aren't designed or used to
    pull people up, but rather to drag them down.

    As a side note a poor dependent population is easier to control because they become dependent upon the government for survival and any 'advancement' is a result of compliance with what you are told to say, think and do by that government at least in public. Which is all part and parcel of the 'woke' thought where you either accept the mandates and thoughts sent down from on-high or become an outcast in society.

    Self achievement, success, education, independence, are contrary to the policies and agenda of liberal Democrats.

    Blind obedience is what they are after.

    Austin, TX has *always* been a stronghold for the Democratic Party...
    and homeless camps are in *every* city regardless of its political
    leadership. Consider Tucson, AZ as an example... red as a beet, yet:

    https://tucson.com/gallery/photos-tucson-homeless-encampment-in-100-acre-woods/collection_1070e6c6-4dee-11ee-a591-d75c791bc98a.html#9

    You will never find a homeless camp that isn't a cesspool.

    The GOP approach is to roll in dozers, haul off the trash, and shove
    the homeless population down the road to the next town. Problem is
    that you still have the same number of homeless people as you did
    before. What do you suggest?

    Another point: that isn't a "park". It's not even officially a
    "greenbelt". It's all privately owned.

    One idea would be to round 'em up and clean 'em up with a nice, hot
    shower... then gas 'em and burn their bodies.

    Shocking footage has exposed the scene in an Austin park filled with
    liquor bottles, needles, Narcan and junk 'as far as the eye can
    see,' as a homeless encampment continues to grow.

    The videos were of the West Bouldin Creek Greenbelt were posted on
    Monday by activist Jamie Hammonds, who reports from the Texas
    capital on the X page @DocumentingATX.

    'Another Greenbelt destroyed here in Austin... nothing but trash and
    junk as far as you can see... this is absolutely horrible,' Hammonds
    said, adding that the encampment was at least the size of a football
    field, and you could smell it 'even before you enter the greenbelt.'

    He continued: 'This is another beautiful Austin Greenbelt that will
    never be the same. This is infuriating... It’s just been
    destroyed. It’s going to be interesting to see if the city can
    actually clean this.'

    I've been to Austin but it was like 5 years ago and at the time I
    really enjoyed my time there. It
    was a little on the expensive side for food and so forth but not much
    different than NYC.
    It's sad to see the place in ruins.
    As long as people keep electing liberal minded politicians nothing
    will ever change and in fact
    will probably get worse.

    Remember when you are seeking absolute equality.. it's far easier to
    push people down into poverty than it is to rise them out of
    poverty... Just keep that in mind when you're told by Democrats that
    they want equality....

    Progressives believe that by elevating the ignorant to positions for which
    they are unprepared empowers them. There are no better examples of that
    than London Breed, Brandon Johnson, Bruce Harrell and Ted Wheeler.

    Austin used to be a great place. Vibrant, college town/city with
    plenty to see and do.

    The Democrat's running the place have destoryed it, much like NYC,
    Portland, Chicago, etc. This is what Democrats do. They don't build
    up but instead tear down and destroy.
