Lo, the Irony

Former hipppies from Haight-Ashbury are getting fed up with the vagrants, drifters and homeless people driving down their property values.

Wonder what generation could have ever given them the idea that such behavior was acceptable and "rebellious."

The quotes are hilarious:

(Arthur) Evans, 64, says (the punks) should get help, clean up or go home...

"I used to be a hippie. I wore beads and grew my hair long," he said. "But my generation had something these kids do not: a standard of civilized behavior...."

"I'm sick of stepping over gangs of kids, only to be told 'Die, yuppie!' A lot of us were flower children, but we grew up," said Robert Shadoian, 58, a retired family therapist. "There are responsibilities in this world you have to meet. You can't be drugged out 24/7 and expect the world to take care of you."

(Carolyn) Mckenna said she was tired of being criticized for the "crime" of owning a home. "Haight-Ashbury is not synonymous with anarchy," she said. "It's not fair to homeowners with their entire net worth tied up here. I'd be disingenuous if I said I wasn't worried about property values."

Instant karma's gonna get you!

LOL. 

They've turned into evil Rethuglikkkans.  I love it when Leftards get mugged by reality.

4 The hippies - I was in on the tail end of that - were basically hedonists. Enjoy sex, enjoy drugs &c. Problem is, hedonism, given enough time, leads to nihilism and self destruction. You can draw an exactly straight line from the hippie movement to the death metal gothtards et al of today. That's what makes the article so hilarious on so many levels to me. The old reductio ad absurdum principle.

5 couldn't be the same people that used to be muttering the mantra "property is slavery, Man" years ago, could it?
