THAT guy is lucky it wasnt my truck, the boss yelling wouldnt have stopped me

The overwhelming majority of homeless are severely mentally troubled. Most are supposed to be on meds for things such as schizophrenia, problem is since the USA doesn't have cheap or free drugs, they cant afford them, so they stop taking them, then they are crazy and cant get a job.... b/c they are crazy. They once were in "nut houses" but that method of 'treatment' was mostly destroyed in the 80's, so they just wander the street since their family abandoned them, and they arent sane enough to get a job. A lot of Vietnam vets end up this way due to their PTSD as well.

Almost none of the homeless you see choose to live that life by virtue of laziness. That makes little sense and has little evidence to justify it. I am pretty sure it takes a hell of a lot more to be homeless than it does to get up every week day at 6am and go to work from 9 to 5. They are most likely drunks or addicts due to self medication, or they use it as a way to get out of (temporarily) the shit existence they are in. Wouldn't you drink your mind into oblivion if you were mentally troubled and unable to get/keep a job or have a dry place to sleep at night? Probably easier to pass out and piss yourself than think about everything.

Self-realization is good and in many cases, such as this one, so are stompings.

Maybe he'll think twice before doing it next time and have something to think about next time he looks in the mirror in the meantime.

You should have built an octogon and got it on!!

It's funny, I never see people with these sentiments opening their homes up to the homeless. But the stream of excuses is endless.

Occupational hazard of being a truck burglar. As long as you stopped before it became a Rodney King thing, it's a learning experience for the drunken criminal.

Plus, you have a personal brand that you have to reinforce to the public.

And on a different note, why does my signature say I don't want pork ribs? I'm fine with getting pork ribs.

I don't see how agreeing with that assessment requires one to "open their homes" to the homeless.

to be honest if he would have asked me for change and i had abit to spair i would have given it to him. if he had asked while eating lunch i would have split my lunch.
ive done it before.

having worked ,gone to school, and hung out here for years i understand there are diffrent types from the pathetic to the outright dangerous. From vets on hard times and those who claim to be vets so they can get a handout.
had a fella tell me once he needed .50c for bus fair so he could get across town to buy a car.(ya right)
to those who just need a drink and tell me so( i can understand that).

It just means you're maturing. Nothing wrong with that. I wouldn't sweat it too much. Dude was stealing and got his just due.

Also, you're an idiot for leaving your ride unsecured. Smash yourself in the face with an iron bar so you won't do that again.

not that you were in trouble with police, but remember how twisted our court system is. said drunk person may find a lawyer w/o any scruples and tell him he got beat up for passing out in a vehicle that wasn't his.
lawyer will think pain and suffering, lost time from drinking, and mental anguish. must be a $500,000 case here.

Depends on if there were witnesses or not. Otherwise the guy just drunkenly fell down and smashed his face.

phob its an 80 dodge P/U with a alpine tapedeck(doesnt work sittin on dash). didnt think any thief would give it a second look. i use it as a farm truck and it hasnt been off the farm in years. only reason im driving it is cause they laidoff the warehouse guy put me back in the warehouse and sent my car to another tech.

just hoping you had lunch money. Give him a $5 spot for lunch (Boones Farm) let him sleep it off.

This is what I was thinking. Did you leave your car unlocked? Not that being unlocked justifies it getting broke into...but it may have been enough of a deterent for the bum to move along. Just saying....:shrug:
