    They’re people with a job they need to feed their families. The person who made the call wasn’t the one who made the decision.

    I was a GM for a few dollar trees and had to have people kicked out for stealing toothache medicine. I know how bad toothaches can be, I understand they are homeless, but I had a job that needed to feed my family.

    The world sucks not the people in it. We are all just slaves to this system we’ve built.

      You can make the same argument for ICE, so I won’t buy it but I understand the pressure

      I would just turn a blind eye if I saw someone stealing medicine

        Well if it makes you feel any better I quit that job and got baker acted 4 times in a month for suicude attempts. So I guess we agree lol

        My elbow will never bend right again because of that fight with the cops.

        Before that I took in 6 homeless people to live with me while they got on their feet.

        Have you ever held a man who drank himself to death because he was dieing of aids ? I cried the whole time to the hospital with him.

        So… what exactly have you done to help the cause again? Aside from your chair sitting I mean?

        Because ive helped so many people the universe won’t allow me to die. And boy howdy have I tried lots of ways. Life clings to me like a parasite.

        You want to talk about ice? Have you ever sheltered an immigrant? I have.

          I’m sorry for you but I don’t see how any of that has anything to do with turning a blind eye if I see someone stealing something from a dollar tree

          I won’t virtue signal here, I can barely wake up every day to work while masking, let alone taking care of homeless people. So kudos to you for actually trying something

            I just got a lot going on dude. I’m know for you’re perspective I just went off on you randomly… it isn’t you.

            All I can say is “kudos to you” see how far that got me. I think I said before “how’d it work out for those saints in the Bible “

            I’ve done a lot and it cost me a lot. So the best you can without losing yourself.

            Sorry for my outburst. It really wasn’t personal at all. It was me.
