Alternatively, crime is taken more seriously when it happens to rich people. It's odd to watch the very billionaires who hoard the wealth, drive up property prices and force the lower class out of their homes complain about homeless people.
- DiggyJohnson 4y agoOne of there peers was murdered. I don't think it's reasonable to characterize complaining about severe risk of physical danger on your doorstep as "complaining about homeless people."
- mansion7 4y agoDo you have any evidence the victim did any of those things? And do people who do those things "deserve what they get"? That's a serious question, because there a disturbing amount of people, many in SF itself, who have espoused this very view.
- Capricorn2481 4y agoNot talking about the victim, who was certainly not a billionaire. I'm referring to tech leaders who otherwise would be making memes of a death like this if they didn't see themselves in the victim, while ignoring the fact that the homelessness that leads to crime is a problem they created. Do they deserve this? No. But is it frustrating to see them convince everyone that this is a policing issue and not an economic one? Yes
