Homeless man beaten

[neon_sheep]

Did any of you hear about the homeless man that was beaten and urinated on by a couple of guys? He was just sleeping on the street and they came up and started. They even recorded it. I just think its sickening. And the victim says it takes place ALL the time. I can't imagine how someone can be that twisted and disgusting that they would literally kick a man when he is down.
This happened in Calgary. My hometown. I'm ashamed!

That is disgusting.
It's amazing how cruel people can be...

It just completely disgusted me when I heard about that! I mean what was the point? just to get a laugh? whats really horrible is that the two guys that did this are only getting 6 months in jail. Thats merely a slap on the wrist

I just feel awful for all the people living on the streets that have to deal with this sort of stuff all the time

If they hadn't video taped it I wonder if they would have even been caught.

where in Calgary? Anyway you can tell by the movie where it happened?

All I know is that it was downtown and appears to have been at the loading dock of a building.

Damn that is the second beating now that know that has happened in Calgary What is happening in Calgary, this city use to be so much more friendlier. I guess that is what happens when your city reaches close to a million people (Calgary)

Go Argos Go Argos!

It's true.
I have lived in Calgary for most of my life, and the larger it grows and less friendly it gets. It is funny, when I first moved here my house was in walking distance from a farm and cows would come into my backyard. Now, only 14ish years later..and yes I still live in the same place...there are only houses and highways. It is sad. Also, homelessness is getting horrible. There are so many young families without homes; its not because they are on drugs or anything that is remotely their fault..just bad luck. And there is barely anythign to support them. Poor souls!!

no class at all.

 

[neon_sheep]

nope.
and the reason that the man that was beaten was sleeping on the street
was because he didn't want to take beds in the mustard seed, etc, from
the older people. aww...
If those people were never caught I bet they wouldn't be as sorry as they said they were. They would probably show all their friends.
Arg! disgusting!
I truly hope they can find God because they must feel absolutely
horrible about themselves. Anyway, no use complaining about it.

That is why as soon as I graduate, I am moving to the sticks. I work in rural AK in the summers and love it. Everyone is friendly. I can't stand cities anymore. Its sad byt true.
