    She obviously bought that gun for self-protection and just couldn't WAIT to use it, the badass cowgirl. Panhandling is the least my daily violations to be concerned with. Yeehaw.

    Oh and how ironical. The woman who was "usually a friend to the homeless" according to her lawyer, just so happened to have it in her to shoot one dead.

    You'll get my quarter when you pry it from my cold dead fingers!
    "He will come in one of the pre-chosen forms. During the rectification of the Vuldrini, the traveler came as a large and moving Torg! Then, during the third reconciliation of the last of the McKetrick supplicants, they chose a new form for him: that of a giant Slor! Many Shuvs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of the Slor that day, I can tell you!"

    wow there was this bum-crackhead that would come into my old job where i waitressed that would do stupid chores or just come in and ask for any kind of free food that we might be throwing away. he smelled really bad but he was pretty nice and harmless, he would always tip which was cute with a bunch of pennies and coins...

    he came in one day with a self made cast, i asked him what happened and he said he asked a man for change and he straight up broke his arm.

    thats mean. i dont like panhandlers but i will give one a buck if im in the mood and i sure as hell wouldnt shoot one dead.thats just me though.

    Excerpt from article:

    "Beasley, 62, was charged with murder and on Wednesday was ordered held in lieu of $500,000 bail, according to court documents. Her attorney, Mass Ionna, told the judge that his client has mental issues.

    Beasley's court record dates back 15 years with traffic charges, eviction cases and civil judgments both for and against her. She was fined in 2003 for improperly transporting a loaded gun after officers found one in her van."


    I won't bother to climb my box regarding the woeful lack of available access to mental health services in the United States for those who truly need them...

    One homeless man with a presumable history of mental issues is murdered by an intermittently homeless woman with mental issues. Considering those eviction cases against her, you'd expect more compassion from the shooter...if she were in her right mind.

    That's so sad. It seems like homeless people are the new targets dujour. So many people attack them now a days and know that they can get away with it because so many people don't care and they know homeless people are the least likely to report it.

    I feel you, Alia. The depersonalization of homeless people/beggars has taken place for centuries. In fact, Greek mythology encouraged mortals to be kind to such individuals, who were occasionally revealed to be gods/goddesses in humble human disguise. Acts of unkindness were often severely punished by vengeful deities, while acts of kindness might be rewarded with divine blessings.
