I used to be somewhat sympathetic to the plight of the homeless ... then I moved to Portland.

i am sympathetic, but I also don't give money (usually) directly to the homeless. I'll donate to Sister of the Road, or I'll buy a homeless person a meal, but I just dont give out money. So this could have happened to me, you, anyone regardless of being sympathetic. Just freaking terrible.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Absolutely crazy. GOD, why do you let these kinds of things happen?

I used to be a bouncer at a club here in Portland back in the mid nineties. I got to know a bunch of homeless doing that job. Some, most in fact, were very nice, just addicted to something. Then there was a group that had mental issues, those were not nice, but also not mean, just crazy, talked to themselves, mumbled, cried, all sorts of stuff, but the problems were huge and obvious. Then there was a small group of dickheads. The problem is, the dickhead group grew, and really you just can't tell from a glance which group someone falls into.

I'll be honest; I'm not sure you exist right now.

How did he set the car on fire?

For Christs sake, I'm typing right now, conversing with you BlazerCaravan, if this isn't proof, god knows what is.

Whatever. We all know GOD is just MIXUM in disguise.

in case you are in any way serious, check the files. I've been Nate McVillian, Thylo, and a couple others, but always very public about switching, and never have been MIXUM. Although, in a way, we are all MIXUM. We are all of the same star dust. Oh, and I do have a tattoo on my right nipple that says "Hi, My Name is MIXUM" but I don't think thats really proof.

Who the fuck is trying to steal my name NOW.

FAMS!

I didn't hear that, I couldn't hear anything with Me and the MIXUM Blues by Robert Johnson screaming out my speakers.

Just horrible...... but how do you set a car on fire?

 

[NOVoodoo]

How did he set the car on fire?

Just horrible...... but how do you set a car on fire?

Yeah, that was my first reaction as well. Watched the video but they didn't even mention how a homeless man set an SUV on fire, how the man entered his car and couldn't pull away before it happened, etc.

Horrible stuff, but how about some reporting? I'm just wondering how the hell it happened... and was the homeless dude hopped up, was the burn victim a total prick, etc? Too many details left out...

That's one of the only things I hate about New Orleans though. You get people asking for change everywhere, and you usually get to know them and will help them out, but I used to have to kick beggars off my front step every other morning at my one house. It's one thing to ask for some change at a gas station, but then they started hanging on my stoop... wasn't having that...
