Lawsuit against Denver's criminalization of living outdoors ordered to move forward.

If you live outside, in Denver, in the winter, don't you have enough problems without the blue thugs taking away your sleeping bag?
I mean being without a house in Denver, in the winter, is not a choice one makes when there are options available.
Then Denver's loving ruling class instructs their blue lives matter thugs to roust you before dawn so that they can confiscate your blankets as evidence of 'camping'.
Can this really be happening in 'the land of the free'?
You know it is,...

MAY 11, 2018

  • Denver, CO – The class-action lawsuit against Denver, which claims that the city has been repeatedly violating the constitutional rights of residents without housing, was officially ordered to move forward by Judge William Martínez on March 26, 2018, when he denied the motions for summary judgment by both parties.

  • The judge decided that evidence submitted in discovery was not sufficient enough to decide the case before trial.

  • On May 2, 2018, a pre-trial conference was held to enter a statement of continuation for the trial, which will likely have its first hearing in January 2019. (The lawsuit was filed almost two years ago on August 25, 2016.)

  • Terese Howard, community organizer and member of Denver Homeless Out Loud (DHOL), told Unicorn Riot that having the trial start in the winter is going to be hard:

  • "We want it to be sooner, but there’s not too much control we have over that. It has to do with lawyers’ schedules. It sucks and it’s gonna mean another winter of bullshit.”
