LOS ANGELES—In a post to the app that garnered dozens of likes, local NextDoor user Janine Parry reportedly came right out and asked this week if it was okay to set a homeless man on fire. “Hey all, I’ve seen this guy around the neighborhood a few times, and I was wondering if anyone would mind if I doused him in…
A woman posted a couple of days ago about seeing an rv parked in her neighborhood and literally said, “I mean, I understand being homeless, but do they have to park in my neighborhood?” She suggested the city remove it the day before it was supposed to be negative temps because apparently an ugly rv being in her general vicinity is worse than someone freezing to death. Those people are fucking sociopaths.
Did she have any indication, or any reason at all to believe that RV was actually being used by homeless people? Maybe a neighbor just bought an RV?
I also love the use of “my neighborhood” there. Because it sure doesn’t sound like she’s saying it in the sense that it is the neighborhood in which she lives. Feels more like it’s being used in the possessive sense. That it is her neighborhood. She has some sort of claim to it and the right to demand certain things happen in it, that overrides everyone else’s rights.
She didn’t really know, based on what she said when people called her out. She kept saying, “I didn’t say there’s anything wrong with being homeless, I just think they need to park somewhere else.” Idk, there’s a dude driving a Benz who’s been caught on camera breaking into several cars and houses, and another couple that drives a late model suv that follows delivery trucks and steals every package they can get, so maybe it’s not the homeless person in the shitty rv we need to worry about here.
