    This happened Monday, and this is the first I’ve heard of it.

    But, today some cops were shot in PA, and it’s immediately all over the news. There’s a press conference going on now, and everyone is shocked and sad.

      because no one cares when homeless people die. And in fact the fox news guy just said the quiet part out loud of what A LOT of people think.

      I do volunteer work outreach work for the homeless and it’s a weekly thing to see homeless people beaten up, attacked in their sleep, etc. This isn’t a new thing.

        Women, children, differently gendered and slight of build are raped regularly, in addition to other physical abuse on the streets as well.

      I just had this exact same experience.

      Tearing each other apart while the billionaires laugh at us.

      Some? I saw one about a guy who went into work and having seen someone there with a gun before not in uniform and said he decided he was going to shoot him. Last I knew he didn’t even ask for a lawyer, he just brought his gun in, shot him and put it back in the car after apparently then let them arrest him.

      Guess I’ll have to go searching for the others
