This is actually an older news story, and it does appear as though she recovered from this before her death.

What makes her more special? That she's old?

Fuck all of the homeless people, guys, old ass bitch of a dinosaur needs her place out of the way!

Yes. Being 93 years old in a country that tries to kill you before you can collect social security is something special.

Why don't you go and tell that to all of the others and yourself? Since you're being a massive hypocrite.

I'm pretty sure she's homeless now...

Well yeah, that's what you get when you don't pay your rent.

Seriously, society needs to stop cherry picking who's more deserving than whom. There are 653,000 homeless Americans in this country. All living on lower than low standards, barely squeeking by another day and everything. They're now on the podium for the right to even sleep on the streets and parks.

Yet, they suddenly don't matter because oh, this one single 93 year old person is evicted and now will be on the streets. I again ask - what makes her the exception? What makes her special? Stop treating everything like a damn off-on switch and continue focusing on the bigger picture that would prevent and resolve problems like these.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say. The people in this thread do think problems like this should be prevented and resolved. What exactly are you arguing?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

So we should help homeless people except for homeless people?

"I again ask - what makes her the exception? What makes her special?"

The part where she's 93, you stupid fuck.
