  If you are watching and reading this with anything other than hatred for what she did then you have been raised wrong. She is only less than two pay checks from being homeless and still things it's ok. I wish I believed in karma for sentient smegma like this.
context: The incident appears to have happened within the last several days, during extremely cold weather, outside of the Triple S Food Mart on Foster Drive in Baton Rouge.
  
  What kind of person does this?  And only gets a  misdemeanor summons. >
  
  This is typical behavior of "good christians" in the US. Governor Abbott sent children in t-shirts to DC during the artic storm of a lifetime. This is what christians refer to as "spreading the word" and the work of a "benevolent" god. >
  
  It really isn't typical at all. It's not unheard of, I'm afraid, but even as an atheist I recognize that most Christians are ambivalent about homeless people or else want to help them out. >
  
  Where are the outcries by the major christian cults over Abbott and DeSantis' treatment of migrant/asylum seekers? Texas has declared christianity as it's state religion. Texas Atty General claims that the chrisitan god planned the attack on the 19 children in Uvalde. Why won't christian charities want to operate under the same regulations all other NCOs do? Abbott put the homeless in Austin in a concentration camp so they wouldn't be seen by his lobbyists. >
  
  Most US Christians aren't related to any of these things is my point. The overwhelming majority of them arent even paying attention to this. If you want to focus on Texas then yeah, you're going to have a different population, but not all Christians are Texans, not all Texans are Christians, and not all Christians support this bullcrap Abbot and others are doing with people who come over the border. I beg of you to see the nuance in the world. >
  
  Okay, so where are the good Christians coming out to denounce their hateful brethren? Oh yeah, they’re sitting quietly. Enabling. >
  
  Have you even looked for them? >
  
  I have, at least. They're not really loud in terms of the leity like the evangelicals and such tend to be. The institutions themselves will here and there deliver a stern word, that is pretty consistent.
  The sentiment of distaste among many Christian denominations towards the religious right is very much alive, it's just never been vocal (by virtue of general aversion to confrontation and actually trying to love their neighbors) and continues not to when we need it to be most. >
  
  We treat homeless people like dirt in this country yet most of us are one disaster away from being homeless ourselves. >
  
  Sure they might not have a home to go to or any resources or any real alternative to what they're doing right now but we can't just let them exist in ways that are inconvenient or unsightly! >
  
  How can a homeless person possibly comply with "general public order" when they are by definition precluded from going anywhere that complies with such a demand? This is just a long way of saying "They shouldn'ta been homeless!" >
  
  Buddy, you think having a homeless person in front of your store is bearing the brunt of homelessness? Really? Not the citizen who has no home? >
  
  I kinda get the vibe that that guy doesn’t consider the unhoused to be real people. >
  
  Dumb. Shes not even the owner of the store yet shes defending it like its her own property. >
  
  That’s what junkyard dogs do. >
  
  Baton Rouge, Louisiana, not Brazil. >
  
  Yes, we know. >
  
  It was a good clarification. >
  
  KPLCTV is a LA-based station, I mean seriously.
  Great, now I need to clarify that LA as in Louisiana, not Los Angeles over in California.
  Next thing I'll need to clarify that IA is Iowa, not internal affairs...
  Jeez... >
  
  A. You expect me to recognize the alphabet soup station name as being from swampland?
  B. LA means Los Angeles unless the context is postal codes. Population-wise LA (the city) is less than 18% smaller than LA (the state)
  You and your state are not that important that everyone know your inside names. At least Cali is big enough that outsiders might know NorCal and Socal >
  
  Shit LA county has double its population 
  LA is objectively for Los Angeles unless otherwise stated >
  
  It’s terrifying that people feel justified/entitled/brazen enough to film and post their lack humanity and expect acceptance or concurrence from their peers… This is the new normal. >
  
  Don't you know if you're homeless it's a personality flaw? It means you're lazy and therefore not worthy of help. Those that don't contribute like good worker bees are a burden to the rest of us and should be punished. (/s if that's not obvious).
  There's enough wealth in this country to give each homeless individual their own roof, provide free healthcare and education to every single citizen (homeless or otherwise), and probably still have the most powerful military in the world. The reason we won't is a society level moral failure.
