"It is not by confining one's neighbour that one is convinced of one's own sanity." Dostoievsky If you check the statistics of violent crimes committed by non-mad people that have stable housing, you’ll find the rate is far higher than homeless mad people.

I remember that happening in real time in a certain SoCal city in the 80's, our safe streets turned into an insane asylum literally overnight. Now, years later living in downtown LA, I can see how much worse it has gotten. Lied to by a realtor about the "new, gentrified, hip" downtown, I see proof daily that this story about the aggressive panhandler is the standard, not the exception. I get chased, mugged, screamed at, sexually and racially harassed, walking through urine, blood and dead bodies in an area that is supposed to be worth a million-dollar loft. It gets worse everyday. It's a hellhole, and it's only going to get worse after the Treasury gets raped by Bush/McCain. The bodies will keep piling up while they buy another mansion. But, hey "wpdunn71901", keep playing political pattycake and frothing about pigs and bibles and blastocysts, I guess you won't have anything to worry about as long as you're another multi-millionaire like Bush/McCain.

While I don't agree with violence in solving problems, the guy was an ass to say 'get a job'. Maybe jerks like him won't go shooting their mouth off so flippantly, especially since he did not know the situation of why this person was reduced to begging. At the very least it is uncharitable. But he did not deserve to be shot either. Hoover, I agree. While I don’t agree with violence in solving problems, the guy was an ass to say ‘get a job’.

There are a lot of aggressive panhandlers in Vancouver. Many of them are on crystal meth. The news has captured footage of them screaming at people walking by. I can't imagine what would happen if everyone carried guns like in the U.S. We'd either have a lot of dead tourists or a lot of dead panhandlers. Neither of those sounds like an ideal situation.

A lot of those people need to be locked in institutions for their own safety. Looks like this one needed to be locked up for ours. Unfortunately when the Liberaloons went crazy themselves in the late 70's and turned out by the droves tens of thousands of mentally impaired and disabled patients onto the streets without a safety net, they created this problem. Now with ACLU meddling, you can't even consider involuntary committal for theirs and society's safety Sweet Violet
