What kind of piece of trash do you need to be to shoot homeless people? They have enough problems, just leave them be.

Well, yeah, but now the shooter [who I will assume is a right-wing MAGA-nutjob of some variety] owns those people he shot! They've been dominated, humiliated, taught who's the boss, and all for the cost of a couple of rounds of ammo.

Losers like this shooter (and that one in Burlington VT recently) don't have the skills/resources/intelligence to make any more impressive impact on the world. Cheap/easy violence is all they can muster. Pathetic.

Perhaps. I hope the perp is caught before they get better at murdering Innocents.

They are easy to dehumanize.
