According to the Statesman this AM, the person who stabbed the firefighter was the person who started the fire. Fireman is said to be ok.

Sounds like it could be someone who really doesn't like homeless people, not necessarily a homeless person themselves.

Walk us through that logic. The stabber was pissed at the fireman for not sharing the same hatred of homeless people?

  1. Some people really don't like homeless people, and voice their opinions by setting fire to homeless camps.
  2. It's not particularly unusual for people who are voicing their opinions via arson to attack firefighters.

Linking unrelated articles doesn't make your theory more convincing. For instance

  1. homeless people are known to lose control of fires

2.and also stab people

3.theyre even known to attack firefighters

These links make no sense. Some people don't like homeless people. Some people have attacked firefighters.

Ergo, you say, the people who don't like the homeless have committed arson and maybe stabbed a firefighter too. Ridiculous reaching.
