Re: Teen "Sport Killings" of Homeless On Rise

I think a key thing that is being forgotten in this discussion but mentioned in the links is the videos "BUMFIGHTS". I have seen two of the videos online and while some of it is humorous quite a bit of it is sad. There is one scene where a bum is pretending like his home is on MTV cribs and he is showing his pimped out shopping cart and all that. I thought it was a bit humorous but also wrong.

I had no problem with that. But one scene they paid a bum less than 50 dollars to rip one of his teeth out. They make bums fight with other bums and steal stuff. I am sure a fair amount of it is staged, but I don't think all of it is.

One of the worst things they do it like pretend they are cops and drive up to bums arrest them make them do stupid things, and then run off.

It is sick they are doing this just for money and thrills. At the same time at least the ugly head of homelessness is exposed in the public for discussion. I swear it felt like America turned away from it for quite some time.
