People Are Assholes





I will probably be writing some things here about the happenings in Ferguson, as the whole thing just has me alternating between spitting mad and profoundly sad.


But, I came across this.


The Last True Hermit


I think that they should have just left the guy alone and let him go back to his home in the woods, is what I think. People are "terrorized and frightened" because their marshmallow fluff and propane are stolen? WTF? He didn't harm anyone. He never stole anything of real value. A kinder, more compassionate community would have noticed the pattern of thefts of only Needful Things, and maybe just left "donations" of these sorts of items out where he could find them. But, no. The man who found solace in solitude had to be hunted down and prosecuted and made miserable for the rest of his life. People are just such huge fucking assholes. I'm tempted to trot off to the woods somewhere, myself.
