    Good news, everybody. The government has a list of people it designates "resistant to accepting help" and if you're on it then its open season.

      Literally, the article says homeless outreach workers are supposed to "call the authorities immediately" if they see someone on the list

    On the one hand, thanks for letting us know that the fucking government is keeping lists of "high risk" homeless people.

    On the other hand fuck off with trying to make excuses for the fash that killed him.

      Libs will forever carry water for the trash that would shove them behind barbed wire fences the moment it is convenient.

      He's going to get a deal on msnbc at this point. Glenn Geeenwald is going to call him woke for not killing more homeless people

    I know what you're thinking, murdering people is bad, yelling is not a capital offense, chokeholds shouldnt be held for 15 minutes.

    But consider this, he was on the governments kill list.

    So they make a list of people but don't do anything to help them? Like the government or municipality knows who they are and they just let them be?

      No, no, they maintain a roster of at least 50. If there's only 49 then they find someone in a shelter to test drugs on and beat until they're back at 50.

    I swear to god if they bring up criminal record or some other bullshit that doesn't pertain to this again I will go to the NYT headquarters and ********************************************************. The murderer didn't know he WAS (he got off the list before the murder jesus christ) on the "poor people who deserve to die" list. The people on the train said Neely never physically harmed or threatened to physically harm anyone, end of story.

    "We're not justifying the murder" YES YOU ARE, THE FOCUS SHOULD NOT BE ON THIS

    The marine saw the quest marker flashing on his HUD and knew he had to act.
