A street narcotics drug dealer that died by his own narcotics, trying to hide the evidence by shoving the Opioids up his arse. And I don't care at all if the murderer was mentally ill - a crazy homicidal maniac is more dangerous than a sane person. In saner times the homicidal maniacs were locked away in asylums not encouraged to roam our streets and harass and Kill people.

And I know the upper class is reading this right now. There's a whole lot of you, including the media workers in this video, and the man with two kids who walks through that street all the time. They saying the street is full of mentally ill. Yeah, you! You can call the people on the street homeless but generalizing them as mentally ill just shows the character of the upper class.

Somehow a word is responsible, not the lack of help for as this man put it, the "unhinged"? US is a nation filled with people who claim to have Christian compassion, but won't lift a finger to help another person. Or maybe just won't help people they deem unsuitable for help. But that's being generous. It's the same people who oppose universal health care.
