I'm having trouble parsing who you think is the wronged party here, but to be clear this fire official was going around bear spraying random innocuous homeless people before one of his victims fought back and beat him up.
Just in the interests of accuracy, he's a former fire commissioner. He resigned after 4 months in the job ~10 years ago following his arrest on domestic violence charges.
The message pretty clearly states that the visible presence of the homeless is a crime against the OP that leads to vigilantism (i.e., attacks on the homeless). This kind of eliminationist rhetoric is common on this site.
Anything invoicing trans people like me, and especially anything involving families with trans kids.
It's not by accident that everyone in my immediate social circle carries a weapon of some kind now. The existential threat from both the state and other citizens grows daily.
I'm genuinely sorry to hear that. Unfortunately, this forum looks to attract a certain kind of people, and those people find it easy to hide uncouth comments under the guise of "curious discussion".
It doesn't help that moderation is almost non-existent, aside from when VC's get put under blast, or when . Asking for sources for ridiculous comments (eg: Dropbox laid off people in order of performance) gets flagged, then removed, but off-topic humor in bad taste remains.
Not GP but I'll bite: the guilty party is 100% the bear sprayer, whoever it may be (commissioner or not).
But breakdown of law, order and general societal cohesion invites this kind of behaviour. It's still the perpetrator's fault, but conditions are made so that these people are more likely to lash out.
