The homeless situation here in Asheville NC is completely absurd.
— Matt Van Swol (@mattvanswol) August 20, 2026
They are literally EVERYWHERE causing mayhem, attacking people, destroying personal property, chasing tourists, screaming at everyone who walks by.
There's reports of a homeless man that has stalked HUNDREDS of… pic.twitter.com/1ilQBTc7bE

Asheville appears to be auditioning for Haight Ashbury, SFO, CA.
I shall be certain to visit and to spend my vacation dollars lavishly, Ashevilleeans.
LOL. Actually, just kidding.
That will never happen.
Enjoy your over-priced/over-hyped & over-taxed luxury community, fools!
I thought North Carolina was a deep red, conservative state–where people were hunkering down making fun of the mental illness that was prevalent on the west coast. Looks like the tolerance of mental illness has come home to roost in NC, right? From what I saw in the video, it’s worse in NC than on the coast in many respects. At least here, the mentally ill stay in their tents, under bridges and in the bushes for the most part–to come out only for water and blocks of government cheese.
North Carolina is 18% of the distance across the continental United States so it is a large state. East of I-95 is mainly poor with no real state representation. North Carolina mainly is from I-95 to I-85 with I-40 as the top. West of Asheville is Western North Carolina (WNC) and the state barely recognizes that area. Even when Hurricane Helene hit it. So basically, the portion of the state from Raleigh to Chapel Hill and Durham is called the Triangle and it controls anything of importance; especially funding, research and education. Charlotte has devolved into Democrat controlled murder center and Asheville is San Francisco. In order words, North Carolina is another Democrat Socialist disaster.
Santuary city, all shitholes
Start carrying large cans of pepper spray and tasers, use large doses of each, make them feel physical pain for the behavior and it will reduce the frequency of the attacks. These people may be homeless and crazy but pain is a universal language.
All of the above–and then beat them down into the gutter with rifle butts. Amen.
Are you guys REALLY going to go to Ashville NC and defend the idiot Liberals that CREATED that shithole situation?
Like the Bikers heading to Dearborn to do what about the Muslims?
Or the Jan 6th Folks some still in prison for an unarmed walk through the capital. Some minor damage but the Capital Police opened the doors for them, and some got tours.
Oh yeah just venting on the internet.
I personally follow the Bible’s instructions to pray for the Lord to keep evil and sin away from me. I have no intention of going to any city at this point. I am not advocating for anyone to go to Asheville: this post was for people’s information concerning the dangers in that city.
While some people are venting, what is your advice?
I apologized earlier for my comment David, it was as you said a knee jerk reaction. My perceived perception on where this web site was heading, I usually wait on commenting before I jump the gun and regret the comment. The full duty of man is to Love God Almighty with the heart, soul and body above all else.
My Advice? Spend more time DOING stuff that will HELP them and Their Families in the coming economic and social chaos.
Faux Outrage about something you’re NOT going to do anything about is a waste of your time.
AND TIME IS A LIMITED Factor. 24 hours no more and how many days are available before a TRIGGER Event kicks off the UGLY Party”.
Build some bridges to folks that might be salvageable, build a raised bed garden, gather supplies to REPAIR your home and even better GAIN Allies by helping them rebuild their when shit hits the fan.
Don’t think broken windows don’t matter then PLEASE Remove your screens (often destroyed in crazy times) and OPEN those windows for a weekend.
HOW many folks here RIGHT freaking NOW could respond to a few shattered windows and destroyed screens from an angry neighbor (over whatever chaos stressed reasons)?
Got HD clear plastic sheeting, screws or nails, stripping to hold that plastic on hand right now?
As I often say Trusted friends and trusted family as well as Faith in God will carry you through trouble better gold.
Or in this case random venting on the internet.
Folks might want to remember nothing said on the internet disappears. When the powers that BE want some “Evidence” of Hate Crimes and such BS THERE THEY ARE.
