(37,113 posts)That's pretty much as ugly as it gets. Where does so much irrational hate come from?

(10,599 posts)She's walking around with a 12 pack of cheap beer, drinking one of them. She's a drunk, who lives on the streets.

(1,207 posts)Before anyone types, "that's no excuse for racism," no it's not.
But, there is also no excuse for such a broken health care system that people like this can't get into humane treatment.
JonLP24
(29,870 posts)She is obviously drunk but that doesn't mean she is mentally ill.
I'm on VA disability 100% for mental health reasons and before that I was homeless so that is why I say it is no excuse

(7,249 posts)The authoritarian search for a scapegoat continues.
JI7
(93,283 posts)these people want to blame others and dehumanize them to make their fucked up selves feel better.
It's important to call out these Racist bigoted fucked up trash rather than make excuses for them or view them as victims.

(6,929 posts)In all probability she is mentally ill, alcoholic, or both. Nothing "excuses" racism, but at what point do you stop blaming the mentally ill for their behavior?

Straw Man
(6,929 posts)... do you think that mocking and humiliating people with disabilities is morally superior to racism? I don't.

(93,283 posts)disability doesn't excuse bigotry.
Straw Man
(6,929 posts)The clown shoes, the spittle-flying rant, the clutching of the 12-pack, the public consumption of alcohol, and running into traffic.
Interesting. If it doesn't excuse bigotry, then surely it shouldn't excuse greater transgressions, like murder. Shall we just take the insanity defense off the table for good, then?

(6,929 posts)However, it is a factor that is taken into account, and, depending on the circumstances of the crime and the nature of the disease, can mitigate the consequences drastically.
Yes, you can always find mentally ill or addicted people who will behave outrageously on camera.
Posting the videos on the internet so that you can act self-righteous or the for the sake of LOLs is cruel.
Iggo
(49,688 posts)...but walking right into traffic is a classic crazy-homeless move. Now I'm not sure.
What I'm fairly sure of is that if she has a job, it's not for long.
(EDIT: My bias is showing. Not L.A., but NYC. That explains the walking into traffic. All y'all NYC pedestrians are crazy as shit...lol.)
