I'd say 99.9% of the homeless in San Diego (everywhere, for that matter) have one of two issues; substance abuse problems, or mental health problems. Many of them have both.

And I'd go even further and say 90% put themselves there through a series of piss poor life choices. Doesn't mean they aren't redeemable, but it does mean I have no pity for most of them.

Macs... while I probably have less pity for the homeless than you do... unwarranted cruelty from someone in a position of power isn't very acceptable either.

I never can understand why people do stuff like this. He had a gun, he could have simply killed the homeless person. Why be cruel and make them demean themselves? It's like the kid that pulls wings off flies.
