    Only after receiving massive backlash does he understand his actions were wrong. How do you get to that age and think that’s a good idea.

      It becomes easy to do something like this once we start vilifying others and thinking that they “deserve it”.

      In this case according to the man that threw water, the homeless person had a history of sexual harassment and being violent towards the attendees.

      We see this all the time in politics. We’re so used to attacking the other side verbally that when one side says something offensive to the other side, physical fights can break out.

      Image of apology here:

        If he truly had a history of being violent the guy wouldn’t have thrown water on someone twice his size so I’m calling bullshit on that part. That’s a recipe for getting your ass beat.

      We live in a society that teaches us to value others based on their ability to work. So naturally people think homeless are humans with less value then themselves.

      Once you’ve been taught you’re better then others really it’s really all downhill from there.
