People are disgusting. How do you attack those that society has already failed utterly.
- Best to withhold accusations until more is known.
  
  Exactly which accusation do you wish me to withhold? The fact that someone is disgusting for killing the un homed?
  
  No telling, ATM, what went on here. I find that after-action reports are often far different than the headlines. And yes, I'm factoring in cop lies.

I demand an immediate investigation into why these homeless people were not armed and able to defend themselves. We should be handing out firearms at the soup kitchens to avoid these kinds of tragedies.
- We should be handing out firearms at the soup kitchens
  are you saying we should... "Arm the homeless"?
  
  We can’t afford not to!

- Are you being ironic? I actually can't tell on Lemmy.
  
  Absolute sarcasm
  
  Ironic username.
- Can you imagine how much Republicans would tantrum if homeless people were getting armed? And at this point, because of their own folly, there would be basically nothing they could do about it.

- Not when homeless people are involved. What's unusual is them coming back at all.
- Presumably all the businesses with security cameras were closed.

Homeless aren't even people! - Christ Loving Republicans
