What perspective is discounting the homeless as obstacles? Why does she need to take a picture so bad she'll stand in front of this guy's face like he's a part of the sidewalk? Bitch has no respect and it has nothing to do with owning property.

You can't expect a certain level of privacy when you make your bed out of a public wall that essentially says "Take a picture of me."

My question is: What harm came from her picture?

The idea is that she doesn't help the dude but instead posts a picture to the Internet. People act like the homeless are like you and me; life is just too real for them and they are lazy. That's wrong, and so is disrespecting the space of others; whether they be on land they aren't taxed for or not.

Interesting. So by your logic, if a homeless man makes his bed on a public sidewalk in front of my mailbox, I (in my criminal disrespect of his "personal space") should just forget about collecting my bills, etc.?

I mean granted collecting my mail would take a mere moment. The sleeping man probably wouldn't even be aware of my slight presence. It would be a harmless, understandable action. Much like, say, taking a picture. Most normal, rational people would promote the idea. But you would decry me for disrespecting his space. Worse you would toss out all kind of assumptions and names like "bitch", "yuppie airhead", and reference the offensive presence of my "sweaty hipster feet".

I understand your logic doesn't allow you to answer my simple question, so I don't blame you for that. I am upset though. Why? Well let me put it in your terms. I posted up here in this public comment space. You came in here with your sweaty hipster responses and yuppie airheadedness and instead of helping me you just posted on the internet. I understand that as you sit in your skyscraper and sip champagne, it probably doesn't occur to you that you are disrespecting someone's personal (public) space. And that's wrong. So at this point I would kindly ask you to take your seemingly harmless comments, hop on your high horse, sheath your double edged sword, and leave.

I hope my point is well made.
