Open Season on Homeless People

Right here in the nasty 'Nati, some lady shot a wino because he asked for a quarter. He died.

I hope it was that asshole wino around the corner from my apartment. I hate that guy. I found out he makes more money bumming change and collecting government checks than I do at my shitty job. I should ask him for change next time I see him.

Does anyone else really hate winos?

I hate islamo-facists

I also hate Islamo-facists, but I'm not really sure how that is relevant.

Update: Sadly, it was not the bum around the corner from my apartment.

This came from an article in the Enquirer though:"It really disgusts me that people think just because someone makes them uncomfortable or takes them outside their comfort zone, they feel that gives them some kind of authority to kill them or shoot them, or even verbally abuse them,"said Leigh Tami, of the Greater Cincinnati Coalition for the Homeless. "To me, that's really obscene."

Lollercoaster. -or even (gasp) verbally abuse them! Oh no!

We need to be tougher on bums in this country.  our tax-paying dollars give them heroin needles and food.  they need to get a job.

I've always been of the opinion that if we stopped helping other countries and tended our own first we'd have a lot less poverty and homelessness.

Global community means shit when you've got starving/homeless people on your own doorstep.

And that's why you live in Canada.

Yea but it is nice to hear someone from another country say the same thing many of us think.
Even if that country is Canada.

I agree 100% with that statement. I never have understood why we send food and money all over the place when so many in the states could use it.

[Mike Leon]

It makes perfect sense if you think about it.

We don't actually have real starving people here. We have people who choose to starve so they can pay for their drug habits.

You can throw all the money in the world at them and they'll just keep wasting it on smack, so you might as well send it somewhere it actually does something.

Also, a few weeks ago some girl I work with was collecting money for one of those giant starving people conglomerates and she showed me some of their glurge propaganda. They gave a figure for how many people starve each day and it was like 4 or 5 digits, so it sounded pretty high.

I did the math on it and it worked out to .0015% of the world population per year if I remember correctly.

Interesting.

i don't know the answers to anything like the homeless or drughead problems but as Tan says this is happening in Canada, USA, England and in fact every "western" country, the governments give millions (insert country type) to foreign country's trying to help them while seemingly ignoring their own.

Unfortunately i think that even if we did "help our own" as in people and country infrastructure these same people that take everything for granted now will only do the same but maybe even more so.
