I wouldn’t want that employee around.

If she had whacked at him with a broom I would talk to her about it, but what she did reveals something dark and uncontrolled about her that I would want gone.

Doing this at Christmastime! Sweet Baby Jesus!

She should have invited him to come inside and warm up instead.

At least it wasn’t a bucket of slops.

Some place just put in spikes to keep out the riffraff

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hostile_architecture

“Hostile architecture is an urban-design strategy that uses elements of the built environment to purposefully guide or restrict behaviour. It often targets people who use or rely on public space more than others, such as youth, poor people, and homeless people, by restricting the physical behaviours they can engage in.

Also known as defensive architecture, hostile design, unpleasant design, exclusionary design, and defensive urban design, the term hostile architecture is often associated with items like “anti-homeless spikes” – studs embedded in flat surfaces to make sleeping on them uncomfortable and impractical. This form of architecture is most commonly found in densely populated and urban areas.[2][3]

Other measures include sloped window sills to stop people sitting; benches with armrests positioned to stop people lying on them; water sprinklers that spray intermittently; and public trash bins with inconveniently small mouths to prevent the insertion of bulky wastes.[4] Hostile architecture is also employed to deter skateboarding, BMXing, inline skating, littering, loitering, public urination,[5] and trespassing, and as a form of pest control”

The state frowns on homicide. So does God.

The last paragraph of the article.

The same convenience store where Alton Sterling was shot and killed by police after he was accused of waving a gun around and illegally selling CDs.

The city of East Baton Rouge agreed to pay $4.5 million to the Sterling family in 2021 after settling a wrongful death lawsuit.

Bad juju .

Because it’s a homeless guy sitting outside in below-freezing weather, now in wet clothes. He probably doesn’t have a dry change of clothes or a place to warm up. He’s still a human being.
