If that article is to be believed, those aren't people. They are animals free from their cages without supervision.

This is a tough call....to believe or not to believe?

Just this past Friday, my place of business had an event sponsored by a local street church, where they gave away 10,000 bags of groceries, and some kids bikes.

10,000+ people showed up, during a lightning and rain storm, with their children in tow, literally. They sat on the ground of the concourse with nothing more than dippers on, infants! And the worst part was, they were expecting free everything, and it was handed to them.

Until...the no smoking policy went into effect. It was hideous, disgusting, and shameful to watch these people.

We suffered thru it, fed the VIP's Upstairs their lunch and I finally went home brokenhearted for all the depravity I saw.

Guess sometimes real life invades our spaces, and all we can do is be shocked!

Indeed you are correct. I do believe they did exactly what the article said they did. I should have stated it better...:D

It's a damn shame that people could be that crass, to take advantage of a situation like that, and it's a damn shame that people could be so hard up that they'd take advantage of a situation like that. I'm not defending their actions, but hunger is a problem, and self preservation can make people do things we can't understand unless we're in that boat.

I was talking to a good friend of mine who lives outside Houston shortly after Katrina. Because the residents of New Orleans were displaced, they came to Houston for relief, and as a result there was an increase in crime.

This behavior is nothing new. I remember years ago when a bar full of people stood by and did noting while a woman was gang raped on the pool table, In NYC for 30+ years people have stood by and watched crimes including murder and rape. Look at the looting that occurs after large disasters at times in some places. The human race has some real degenerates in it.

So True Okie. The thing is no matter what, had I witnessed that act of depravity, being armed with just my Fox Labs pepper spray, my ass would have lashed out at those POS's, and probably would have put myself in harms way, but Oh Well!:mad:

The bright side is, 8,000+ real Americans visit my place of business regularly, and salute the Flag and sing the National Anthem!

America is still here I do believe.

Reminds me of The Walking Dead

Logical extrapolation of population density and the bystander effect.
Rural and urban cultures each come with their own sets of benefits and liabilities.
