    I don’t have sympathy for a man who literally put himself in harms way using untried methods to make himself judge and jury over vulnerable people.

    he did something dangerous and he paid for it with his life.

    He tried to help keep his community safe by treating poor, disadvantaged folks like human beings.

    Hey but you had to walk past addicts, so we all know you had it worse, and clearly have the moral high ground 🙄

      You’re missing the part where it was only the ones that met his approval that he was willing to help. I don’t agree with it when actual aid nonprofits do the same and I don’t agree with it when some random does it either. If you want to help the homeless you take the good with the bad. Drugged out people need food and water too. If they’re a danger to themselves or others that doesn’t fall under the jurisdiction of one random guy.

        Ok, so you’re not allowed to try to help people unless you help everyone. And if you’re just a regular person doing what you can, you’re actually in the wrong and deserve to be stabbed whilst trying to break up a fight. Gotcha. Great point, dude.
