While I'm sorry about what happened to your family member, that doesn't mean the same thing is happening here.

I think McConlogue's point is that homeless people aren't all stupid, stoned-out losers. And that some are capable of learning pretty complex stuff. Sure, plenty of homeless are screwed up, some hopelessly so, but we can't blanket them all with that label.

Here's a guy who's acting locally. And it takes some guts to do something risky. McConlogue may not be thinking globally, but he's doing what he can. Which is far more than a lot of us can claim.

And then you say I am biased?

Yes. People took advantage of your relative, and you appear to assume Leo is being taken advantage of as well without having any hard evidence of it.

Are you accusing me of bias when I said "homeless people aren't all stupid, stoned-out losers"? That doesn't make any sense whatsoever.
