A Las Vegas vagrant nicknamed “Cutty” cracked his pal’s skull using a “medieval looking” hatchet when he was asked to leave the man’s home, police said. Tali Jackson, 54, was arrested Sunday on charges including attempted murder with a deadly weapon in an April 30 attack that left his roommate “bleeding profusely from the head,” according to an arrest report obtained by the Las Vegas Review-Journal.(Snip) Once the victim was able to speak to police the following day, he said he let his friend “Cutty” and the man’s brother stay at his apartment because they were homeless.

You have to be a special kind of stupid to invite a homeless stranger to live with you. Maybe 10 percent of homeless people are normal people just down on their luck normal people. The rest of them are drug addicts or bat poop crazy or both.
Go ahead and help them out of the Christian love in your heart. But please remember that God also gave you a brain and he expects you to use that brain.

A couple just minding their business in Nashville a few days ago was attacked savagely by a homeless-American in an unprovoked machete attack. Unprovoked per the understood Obama definition, meaning the victims caused the random attack because of their physical appearance. Point being, we as a nation should not allow insane people to roam free, attacking when the opportunity and urge strike.

Centuries ago, we put the mentally ill in institutions to protect normal people from their unpredictable behavior, which sometimes turns violent for no apparent reason. But now days we are "far more advanced" and we let them roam the streets, living under bridges, in tents on city streets, defecating intentionally in very public places to cause distress, and generally make life miserable for normal people in large "advanced and compassionate" cities.
Putting the mentally ill back into institutions with bars on the windows and locked door should be a major national initiative.

#3, it was only in the 60's that they stopped housing the mentally disturbed. It was then when the liberals, nee democrats, decided they should dump them out on the rest of us. Yeah, they did it for centuries before that, but it was in my lifetime that those institutions were closed. Resulting in ever more homeless today. See the 1948 (?) movie "The Snake Pit".

"Tali Jackson, 54, was arrested Sunday on charges including attempted murder with a deadly weapon "
Sounds a little redundant -- how many times can you recall hearing about an attempted murder with a non-deadly weapon?

I agree #4, and perhaps I didn't say it well. My point was that even a century ago we understood that this wasn't acceptable and put these people away. I was trying (badly) to make the point that it isn't like it is a new concept that you can't let lunatics run loose, they make huge messes and hurt people, and themselves.
It has been known for a long time, and yet....we have "advanced" to a state where we are just flat out stupid about protecting normal, innocent people from the crazies.

#3 They were closed because of the appalling Dickensian filth in which they lived. Even if they did bring conditions up to snuff, in this political climate you can imagine which party will be locking up their opponents? "Won't take the mark, tatoo, vaccine? Sorry comrade, you must be insane". Be very careful.

Tent cities where a bologna sandwich, an apple or orange and a bottle of water are served for breakfast, lunch and dinner might dissuade a few of these drug addicts and crazies from being drug addicts and crazies.

I'd invite a vagrant nicknamed "Happy" into my house in a heartbeat! "Bashful," too! I might even let "Grumpy" in, out of compassion.
"Cutty"? Not so much.

#7, "appalling Dickensonian filth"....you mean like they inflict on everyone else in downtown SanFran on any given day?
Sorry, even if it were like that, better inside the walls than outside the walls. And frankly, it doesn't have to be like that. There are ways to make them not crap on the floor, etc.

Man invites street people into his home and naturally they do what they do, inviting in other homeless people and doing drugs, then refusing to leave. How is it compassionate to allow crazy people to live on the streets instead of within sharply defined containment areas in remote areas, for their protection and our own?
