The homeless guys manifesto

It was time to go check on the apartment of our friends who are away for the weekend. As we walk from the front door of the loft to the car across the street, we are asked by two homeless men on the sidewalk if we have any change to spare. My partner Greg told them no and we continued to walk. The skinny greasy homeless man continued with his salute to "why people really hate the homeless", and rattled on something about how he hopes we need something to eat someday and know what its like to have nothing. He said all of these things in a very violent tone and made me somewhat uncomfortable. Everything was fine and we got in the car to continue our errand. With thoughts of calling 911 and a moment of homeless bashing in a way, is when it really hit me. It would be a lot easier for people to be more tolerant of the homeless if it were not for people like the fellows we encountered today. If you want my opinion, the homeless should unite and take care of the few undesirables that make their lives a little harder for themselves and everyone.
