    This is a case from Long Beach, CA where someone apparently pissed off a panhandling bum, said something rude to him, and in revenge the bum fire bombed the guy's truck with him in it. VisionCastle should take this as a warning as I see him as being the type of guy who'd verbally attack people who are weaker/have less power than himself. Personally, I just politely say I don't have anything or sometimes give them a coke instead of change so at least they don't use it to buy booze.

    I read the article and I don't see where it says the victim was rude to the son-of-a-bitch homeless asshole.

    Perhaps you could point that part out?

    Article says this guy torched another car, too. Don't give this piece of crap a warm place to stay for the rest of his life, send his ass to northern Alaska.

    I don't think he torched both cars but that the 2nd one being close to the one on fire caught fire itself.

    I think you missed the joke. Turdin claims I only mock people weaker than I am. But I mock his coiffed-and-perfumed self constantly. :)

    A wiseass once said, "If you light a fire for a man, you'll keep him warm for a night. But if you set a man on fire, you'll keep him warm for the rest of his life."

    Um... wut.

    I never told a story like that anywhere ever. I think you're thinking of the one you have in your head that you got second-hand from Tamar, except that even she has never related a version where anybody got rolled. This must be the internet version of the telephone game.

    The bum in question needs to be set on fire and put out with rock salt.

    I guess it was Sokar who was so proud of getting a homeless lady kicked out of a book store that he started a thread here about it. Still, I bet VisionCastle won't yell at a bum to "Get a JOB!" next time he's stopping off at the liquor store.

    I never have said that to a bum, not once. They can't get jobs, even the ones who aren't mentally ill, because they're unskilled labor that comes with an American Citizen price tag. Why would anyone hire them when they can get Pablo from Tijuana for pennies on the dollar? And that's something you support, so don't fucking lecture me about having compassion for the homeless, you little prick.

    When you're against illegal immigration that makes Americans unpalatable as employee prospects, and when you oppose Big Government's extortionist taxation that makes businesses lay off Americans and cut costs by not hiring, then you can put on your facile little pretense of giving a shit about the unemployed and the homeless. Until then, you can shove that bullshit back up your worn-out asshole, asshole.

    If people want to attack me, then I stop being nice and they become aware I'm armed. :|

    I try to be nice to people out of practicality.

    The saying is

    "The people you step on while on the way up are going to be your new friends on your way down.

    I think it should be a felony to give panhandlers any money. That would end this bullshit in a hurry.

    Meanwhile, in another thread, you complain that the Feds are trying to make something illegal that shouldn't be illegal.

    Right this should be illegal. It promotes drug use and makes the neighborhoods more dangerous. There is a reason zoos don't want you to feed the animals.

    Not that jonesing drug fiends (or maybe people who are just hungry) with nothing to lose are dangerous.

    I think we need federally mandated background checks for all panhandlers.
