However, it was the comment of Rogan that shocked all. When Segura said, “When you see stuff like that on the streets, at least in Los Angeles or California, that’s protected property. Like by law. That’s a person’s property by law”. In response to this Rogan said, “Oh, a homeless person’s property is protected?”.
Rogan added, “You’d get arrested. Hilarious. But they wouldn’t arrest you if you shot somebody. Maybe you should just go shoot the homeless people”. Segura said, “I like your ideas”.
Rogan also made the comment lately Trudeau is a "dictator" and "Canada is Communist" over the vaccine requirements to get in the country. All this while saying he supports DeSantis for president… joe also claims to support the LGBTQ community, sure doesn't sound like it. pic.twitter.com/d4vrNp7KAf

Absurd humor is used to point out how terrible current policies are. There is no compassion in enabling a system that harms the homeless and the broader society. His joke was not even a mole hill, let alone a mountain.

There's a housing crisis and people want to store their belongings and sometimes they have to go to the bathroom.

The homeless issue isn't about how inconvenienced it makes you; it's that this country makes basic affordable housing unobtainable for many
