Son_of_dad,

I constantly hear about homeless resources, we need more shelters etc. Nobody seems to mention that the homeless people walking about punching strangers aren’t the ones who seek help. My city is filled with the same violent, homeless people who threaten assault and terrorize commuters. To the point that threads about my city have nicknames for the different violent homeless guys that are well known, who face no consequences ever.

Until we admit that some mentally ill homeless are going to need forced help, things are never ever going to be fixed. Just wagging your finger at them and releasing them to assault others, is not really helping anyone

Let me lay it the fuck out for you so you can understand… Just in case you’re the cunt who finds himself face to face with these individuals.

YOU DO NOT ASSAULT STEVE BUSCEMI…

Just as you DO NOT PUNCH RICK MORANIS.

Whoever is out there assaulting Steve Buscemi and punching Rick Moranis is a fucking asshole.

It’s rude to assault Steve Buscemi, and it’s rude to punch Rick Moranis.

It’s also rude to punch any random strangers.

Who the fuck punches a firefighter that responded on 9/11?

fartington,

TIL

cybervseas,

Whoosh?

Iapar,

No, they both hit.

jeffw,

We couldn’t all be on Reddit when the Buscemi 9/11 thing was reposted. Y’know… literally any day since that sub was founded

A person entering the Find Out phase of their life now, we all hope. Because leave Steve the fuck alone.

It’s a homeless person who may very well be mentally ill. I think they entered the ‘find out’ phase of their life a long time ago.

ThrowawayPermanente,

Ah, so we’re the ones finding out

May they find out what kind of treatment they need, then. Finding Out doesn't always have to be negative.

jonne,

A homeless person that never got the help they needed.

So glad to hear there was an arrest. Hoping for justice and that this person gets the much needed help they need.

That homeless gentleman is in…real good shape.

Ensign_Crab,

Maybe he maintains a cheap gym membership because it’s a place to shower?

Muffi,

Comments like this is why I like Lemmy. No revenge fetishism or punishment fantasy. Simply a hope for justice and betterment, and acceptance of the fact that criminals are also victims. Thank you.
