Crazy times

A panhandler (aka homeless bum) shot a man today because he didn’t give her money (she woulda shot him again in the head, but the gun malfunctioned). A witness says that the guy first said “No”, and then told the bum to “get a job”. This story sadly is what I was thinkin about today at work. Still hot of the heels of people not feelin sympathy for the common man, and more concerned about the “socialistic” approach of the Democratic Party, I was thinkin about how this country would be if everybody had to fend for themselves. He’s prolly one of those types who feel he works hard for his money, so why can’t they? Why should he put into a system that helps those who are down on hard times? Like I mentioned before, I’m not for a system that helps people that don’t do shit and just sit around. And the government doesn’t work like that. But of course, there are always people who take advantage of the system (rich and poor alike). But when you start gettin into the territory of people should help themselves instead of lookin for the government (especially when the government was created “by the people, for the people”) to help, you have to understand that some people need that help. Some people need the help of gettin a place to live after being foreclosed on. Some people need the help when they work for Wal-Mart 60+ hours a week, but can’t afford to take their kid to the emergency room when their child is shitting blood. And when you decide not to help these people out, you paint them in a corner and that’s when the natural instincts come out. The worse person to go up against is a person that has nothin lose. They don’t give a fuck. Death is probably a better alternative to them. They’ve lost it all and don’t give two shits about takin it from you, especially when you look down on them. Lettin people govern themselves would prolly work great with just 13 colonies and a population of New York City, with no ties to the rest of the world. But this is (was?) a global superpower and needs a government in place to maintain that status. And you can’t maintain that status when you have people lookin like they live in a third world country just with more clothes. And we should ease gun control laws too right? Maybe the next bum will have a Chopper and just mow down the whole sidewalk.
