Of course this was a pre-planned dine-'n-dash. The post-Floyd din'doos are now so emboldened that they don't even bother to be sneaky about it or run (or, in the case of these thick-thighed tubs-of-lard, waddle fast). It wouldn't have been too hard to get all the licence plate numbers of the vehicles these land whales plopped their fat asses down in, better getting that key bit of info for the cops than hoping someone will recognise them in this news report and call the police. One thing's for sure: friends and family members who recognise them won't be calling the law.
Hey Martin something interesting happened to me this week. A woman I recently met who was educated, well-spoken, and inspired admiration, told me she's been homeless for two years. She described the 4 types of homeless she'd met over the course of those years: 1. The working homeless who couldn't afford rent but otherwise had their act together. 2. The mentally ill. 3. The criminally inclined 4. The addicts She had been in category 4. She said the mentally ill need to be institutionalized, the criminally inclined need to be in prison, the working poor need subsidized housing, and the addicts needed to be forcibly institutionalized for treatment. She lived for a year in such a place and they 'kicked her ass back in gear' and it was exactly what she needed. So, OK, I've had to reconsider your previous comment and, yeah, you made a valid point.
Hey Anonymous, I was both surprised and pleased to hear your update.
I'm all for helping people get a second, even a third chance to get their act together. The key is that they have to do their part: Living with a routine, with discipline (the day starts with making your bed), drug and alcohol free, doing productive physical work and learning a basic survival skill or two (how to cashier at a McDonalds or a Walmart) can kick a person back into gear, into a life with some meaning and worthwhileness. It's a win-win for them and for society.
