    Not that the unhoused deserve this–it’s vile, violent, and fascist.

    Not that this bill will pass, even in Kentucky, or be upheld by the courts, even in Kentucky.

    But the fact that this decriminalizes shooting homeless people for anyone means that 100% someone would use it to shoot their neighbor, probably on purpose, while claiming they thought he was homeless.

      True. There are quite a few people who are actively looking for a legal loophole to kill someone. Preferably a minority, but they might not be that picky. You can find lots of these people on gun forums.
