Last night was CRAZY!
At around 2300 some black dude in a whelchair rolled up to one of my neighbor's tents and started ransacking it after confirming it was empty. Of course when the occupants returned I totally told them what happened and described the culprit to them, because anyone who steals from the homeless is a planet-sized pile of shit. The fool returned to the scene of the crime at around 0800 asking them if they found a gray cell phone, and almost got stabbed with a survival knife and beheaded with an axe by the couple he robbed! Savage, but it's pretty much frontier justice out here on the streets: we don't have police protection or the means to criminally charge or litigate in the courts — cops and judges are our enemies, for the most part, because American society despises the mentally distressed and impoverished desperate citizens it creates. Of course, I found it all viscerally disturbing and barbaric, but I also get it; people need to realize all the undersirable and disturbing or destructive traits and behaviors of human beings are usually appropriate within their social context — the passive-aggressive complaining and lawsuits of Yuppies will just get you laughed out of the neighborhood or worse when you're homeless.
On a positive note, I got to see a bat fly overhead just a few feet above me around midnight. Bats fly around me every night because the old Esco property has been cleaned up and turned into an empty grassy lot with a drainage pond on one side, so there's a lot fo juicy bugs for them to eat. Yes, I love bats.
