Well wishes and a speedy recovery for the unidentified victim.

With that said… what the hell was this asshole thinking? Is he not aware of the massive unemployment in this country? How can someone be so stupid and uncaring?

It’s amazing how many people think that jobs are everywhere, if you only look. They can’t grasp the idea of there being more people than there are jobs. They also can’t grasp the idea that someone alone in the world can get by on a minimum wage. IF there was enough money there to pay the rent, then what are they supposed to eat?

You can’t keep a job and live under a bridge. But these morons have been told that panhandlers exist only because they’re lazy. They’ve heard it so many times, it’s what they believe.

And some of them are finding out the hard way just how wrong they are:

Downtown Panhandler Shot Man, Left On Bus

Victim Hit Once In Stomach

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — A bus stop panhandler shot a man who turned down her request for money, Sacramento police said. [...]

The woman was later identified as Audrey Jackson, 47.

Several people turned Jackson down, police said, and she shot the last man who did so.

There was some sort of conversation between the man and Jackson, Sgt. Matt Young said.

A witness told KCRA 3 that the man first told Jackson “no,” and then said, “get a job.”

Isn’t there a saying, “people need to learn to keep their fool mouths shut,” or something like that?
