I have seen many cases of free cruelty to the poor. History is full of it. But I think this was the most bizarre:
We’ve got this rich dude in 1970s New York, right? Guy’s got more money than he knows what to do with. And what does he decide to do? He’s caught on camera taking a piss on a homeless man. Yeah, you heard that right.
Now, let’s pause and think about the guy on the receiving end for a second. Maybe he’s hungry, maybe he’s cold as hell, maybe he’s sick—hell, maybe all of the above. When was the last time this guy had something as basic as a hot shower? What series of unfortunate life events led him to this s__tty moment?
But Mr. Moneybags? He couldn’t give two craps. It’s not like he just walked past the guy, which would be bad enough. No, this dude, who’s got everything from a penthouse to a private jet, decides that’s not enough. He needs to go and literally piss on someone who’s already down on their luck. Why? Because he can.
This isn’t just being an asshole. This is some next-level, morally bankrupt crap right here. It’s like he’s saying, “I’m not just going to ignore you; I’m going to degrade you, just to make myself feel big.”
So, what’s the lesson here? Some people are so empty inside that even having “everything” isn’t enough to fill the void. They’ve got to tear others down to feel like they’re standing tall. And that, my friends, is a whole new level of fucked up.
