Angry Attacks On Homeless

…And I thought we (here in America) are mean to people who are homeless.

I was walking to the local Farmer’s Market last weekend, when a couple taking their morning stroll, stopped to look at a man who was homeless. The homeless man was standing in the middle of the street, and appeared drunk.

The husband of the middle-class couple shouted out to the homeless man, “You’re disgusting!” And he walked away.

Although not the norm, verbal attacks do occur against the homeless.

But check out what is happening in the Czech capital of Prague… People are pouring gasoline on the homeless and setting them afire when they are sleeping. The violent outbursts of anger reflect an angry attitude toward the homeless in the Czech Republic. (Click the title to read the article.)

It is sad when a community thinks the only response to a terrible societal problem like homelessness is violence and anger toward the people affected.
