$75,000 reward in homeless man's death
Police are still looking for the man who set John Robert McGraham on fire, killing him.
Imagine my confusion when I learned that the reward is actually for helping arrest the person who set the bum on fire, and NOT a cash prize for having killed the bum! Insanity!
John Robert McGraham was killed Oct. 9 when someone doused him with gasoline and set him on fire. He had been sitting on the sidewalk in front of a boarded-up dental office at Third and Berendo streets.
...
For two decades, he repeatedly refused help from family members and others who attempted to remove him from the streets and obtain treatment for him. He was well-known to area residents, who often fed and provided clothing for him.
Stupid mother fucker, why didn't you take their help? Were you too prideful? Did you want to ensure that you would never have to work again?
"The community is horrified by this senseless act of violence," LaBonge said in a telephone interview. He said he and fellow Councilman Eric Garcetti are seeking to have attacks against homeless people classified as hate crimes under state law.
This hate crime shit is so idiotic. Of course it's a hate crime! Every time someone beats someone else's ass or violently murders someone it's a hate crime! They're not assaulting the person out of love, it's because they're filled with hate!
