At least one person was killed and four others wounded in a shooting at a homeless encampment in Las Vegas on Friday, police said.
The incident occurred in the area of Charleston Boulevard and U.S. 95 around 5:30 p.m. local time. Officers responded to a homeless encampment, where witnesses directed them to multiple victims, Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Lt. Jason Johansson said at a press briefing Friday night.
So to you it’s not disgusting if a homeless person shoots a homeless person?
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.
OP assumed it wasn’t. I made no assumptions. Learn how to read.
If a homeless person attacks a homeless person, they are still attacking someone society has failed. My interpretation of the comment is that it is more related to the victim than the perpetrator, like shooting elderly people in a nursing home or children or otherwise less privileged people - you’re victimizing someone who doesn’t have the same opportunity to protect or defend themselves or even choose where they reside. This is not to say that they are pitiable or anything like that, but they are disenfranchised.
