SOUTH CAROLINA'S "HOMELESS ZOO"

The city of Columbia, South Carolina just passed an ordinance that makes it illegal to be homeless. The Emergency Homeless Response ordinance allows the city to remove the homeless from the down town business district so that they can be relocated to an encampment area.

The area will be patrolled by police.

The new homeless residents - an oxymoron if there ever was one - of the zoned space will be confined to the city emcampment area ... you know, kind of like animals in a zoo.
