The idea is so beyond insane. It's like trating himan people like pideons or some other wildlife. Do any of these people actually think homeless people will magically become not homeless when they're hungry? I keep trying to think of any other alternatives, but no, you're right, the cruelty is intentional.

From the article:

Mullinax said that in recent days someone in her group had claimed Protzman “was taken out” but she dismissed that.
She did however claim that the person who died was in fact just one version of Michael Protzman, “the evil version” and that the good Michael Protzman—who is in fact JFK Jr. in a mask—is still alive and well.

Just... Wtf.

Meh, I grew up next to some favelas, and that level of violence is another level entirely, it's just not covered as intently. People get kidnapped, families of rival gangs are targeted, not to mention the extortion.
That being said, the US has no fucking excuse. Central and South American countries suffering from massive gangs and civil wars, they have a good reason for having so many gun deaths.
