"ACAB" goes beyond 'a struggle for racial equality' to the extreme end of leftism where cops are the natural outgrowth of capitalism- the new slave patrols. In this thought process a cop exists mainly to protect private property (and keep it private!) and are indelibly connected to capitalism (at least the way Lucas uses it).
And you would barely need cops at all in a socialist paradise! You know, the DPRK, USSR, etc...
So what you're saying is.....

They let them in three days ago from what I heard, but from what I heard the health department only allows only 85 in the building all six feet from one another. Which is less than the beds that they have. So now when they check in, they have to be in by 8pm for their beds, and then check in by 8am for their inside spots. And typically during the winter and holidays, the homeless get stir crazy and pissed because of the holidays so it turns into a ban fest.
The City of Spokane has not opened any warming shelters either and all shelters were reduced to around 60% capacity due to Covid, so there are hundreds of homeless on streets of Spokane right now begging to get into a warm place. We only can hope that Lucas acts like his self and gets thrown out so someone more grateful will take his place.
At this point its practically a given that he'll fuck it up and get banned again sooner or later. Especially with the way his crazy seems to be going lately. That said the homeless were quite fortunate last year in that the covid restriction stuff didn't really start until winter was on its way out so there were more beds and warming options around for them last year, but this year its going to likely be alot more difficult for them with a 60% capacity. They're fortunate its washington state and not a far colder climate, but even so its likely going to be a rough winter for alot of people. Lucas had better be very careful or that'll include him as well
For a guy who admitted in his 2010 reflections that being on the street 'scared him more than anything' (which is why he supposedly put up with the stuff he claims cyril put him through in the first place) he sure does everything he can to ensure he ends up there permanently. You would think by now he'd be going into panic mode with the cold weather starting to settle in. In the summer he can sleep in the woods or 'on the sidewalk' as he put it but come winter he's fucked if he gets booted out of the shelter for being an idiot mid month when he has no money. and its not like it hasn't happened before, which fucked up his nose and feet a few years back. Not that diabetes didn't have its share of the responsibility for it
What really astounds me about lucas is at this point he knows his time on the streets isn't likely a short term thing. He is completely reliant on the shelter to feed him when his cash runs out. Yet he doesn't even have a backpack with a few basic emergency supplies in it. No water bottle, no food of any kind aside from the occasional bag of chips. If I were in his position i'd be hitting the local dollar store and ensuring I had at least a weeks worth of those microwave rice packs, some pepperoni, bread, margarine, coffee and a few of the different easy to prepare foods that places like dollarama sell. Pretty much make a point of filling a backpack or bag or whatever he can get to carry around. Granted I haven't been to a dollar store in washington for years so maybe they're different than whats up here in canada these days but I assume theres at least similar stuff available there. The point being, i'd spend $30 or $40 out of those tardbux and ensure I had something to eat with me in case something fucked up the shelter access. But of course this is lucas, he doesn't think ahead, doesn't prepare for anything and even by hobo standards has a serious lack of self preservation instincts. He's so utterly reliant on the government to feed and shelter him that he'd be completely fucked if anything prevents him from getting that support for any length of time. Hell a water bottle, a few instant microwaveable rice and bean meals and a couple cans of corned beef could save his ass when he really needs it and he doesn't even bother to do that much planning for his future
I mean he can only pull his creepy behavior at those shelters so many times and take so many temp bans before they finally have enough of him and consider him enough of a liability to tell him to gtfo permanently. When that day comes he had better have some supplies for a few days and some kind of plan or he is in serious trouble. Hell I bet he doesn't even have an extra pair of socks, some gloves for winter, a toque, $1 plastic poncho or even a cheap blanket to keep his ass alive if hes stuck outside for a few days during a sudden cold snap
