      Exactly which accusation do you wish me to withhold? The fact that someone is disgusting for killing the un homed?

        It could have been a homeless person that shot them. Waiting until the facts are known is always better than assuming you already know without needing them.

            Sure it is. It’s disgusting that anyone shoots anyone. But when you start making assumptions that it was someone from outside preying on them- yore creating a false narrative for the purpose of agitating the us vs them crowd which is disingenuous.

            Just wait and see what the investigation produces.

              The only person who made that assumption was you. No one mentioned whether the shooter was homeless or not.
