    He’s talking about the victims there genius. There’s no assumption there about the shooter.

      Of course they were. Thats not the point.

      This would be a dumb thing to say if an assumption wasn’t that the person wasn’t also homeless. OP assumed the shooter wasn’t also homeless.

      Read it again with the idea that the shooter was a homeless man and it reads entirely wrong.

      For fuck’s sake man.

      That is not how to interpret that statement. That reduces the point to a tautological statement of no consequence.
