For God's sakes, you guys! We're talking about a HOMELESS person here! Sorry, but I have zero sympathy for homeless jaywalkers and I've been tempted to run over a few of them myself.
I got into an altercation several months ago with some derelect who tried to grab my 12 pack of Budweiser in the 7-11 parking lot and made me drop it, bursting several cans. Worse than that the sucker scratched my hand and now I have to get a blood test once a month for HIV. And the REAL kicker is that even though this guy has a criminal record I am not allowed access to his personal medical information under Right to Privacy laws! PLUS I got cited for kicking him in the balls for scratching my hand and wrecking my 12 pack, and all I was trying to do was subdue him until the police arrived so they could check this a-hole for AIDS. That one is still pending, BTW, but I've been charged with assault, although my attorney tells me the DA will drop all charges due to the "inability" of the "victim" to coherently recall the event. Now THAT makes me feel good about the scratch on my hand, huh?
Bottom line? We, a working stiff, limited to only drink 9 beers that evening instead of my customary 12, staring at a severely scratched hand wondering what kind of diseases I've just come in contact with, facing criminal charges, my wife refusing to have sex with me until I am cleared medically (although I really can't blame her. I'm too scared to even mastrubate without a condom)...and the Homeless Dude...kicking back in a hospital bed, TV remote in hand, watching some dumb-ass Fox TV "reality show" like "Survivor"as he presses the Morphene Drip button mainlining pure watermelon that he could never EVER afford on the streets at TAXPAYER expense- where in the hell is the justice in that?
You leftist bleeding hearts like AK Deja Vu, Ripsnort and AK Wabbit who are all crying about the plight of some worthless piece of human garbage are what is wrong with our Country. We need to rid ourselves of the plague of homeless in America. We should load them up on transports and send THEM to Afghanistan to fight. Why in the Hell are we sending the very best we have to fight? Send the Homeless- and if we lose, who cares?
I am sorry Ripsnort, AK DejaVu and AK Wabbit, but I must squelch you. Your constant leftist viewpoint concerning putting Homeless People in Government-Paid Homeless Shelters in MY neighborhood is simply too much, even for my centerist opinion. You three are the biggest bleeding-heart liberals I have ever seen and, frankly, I am confident I speak for many here when I state that your Pinko-Communist viewpoint is not welcome on these Boards.
