State Rep. Smashes Homeless Peoples' Stuff With a Sledgehammer

[Zeke129]

Shopping carts remain property of the store that bought them even after they leave the store's property. They also cost around $150 each.

Let's hope he gets a nice bill for each one that still has a store logo on it

What an entitled prick. You know it's not always the victims fault they are homeless.

[Fangz]

He isn't a Super Hero, he is a Super Villain.

I beg to differ my good sir.

Sounds like he is just trying to save face, I still doubt he really cares about the well being of the homeless.

Instead of smashing stuff that belongs to the people who have nothing, why don't you use your political power to uplift them out of poverty by opening up economic and education avenues they can take.

ASSHOLE.

“If I see shopping carts [B]that I can’t identify[/B], I will destroy them so they can’t be pushed on the streets.”

There will be no bills sent to him, he's only smashing ones without a logo.

The ones he smashes in the video are marked Don Quijote, which is a Hawaiian store brand. Since there is only three stores on the island he could have easily found the proper owner.

I am trying very hard to try to comprehend this guy's reasoning.

This is like looking overweight high school students and burning their bookbags in order to lower obesity rates.

It makes no logical sense at all.

But shopping carts are bigger. And heavier.

[Blitzkrieg Zero]

Man, We're supposed to be the Aloha state :(

[draugur]

Uhm, isn't that technically littering and vandalism? He's destroying things and leaving the rubbish about. Fine him for littering please.

[CMX]

Im surprised he hasnt been stabbed yet.

[QUOTE=NuclearJesus;42919076]Wait. . .he's a DEMOCRAT?![/QUOTE]

Seems like the average republican to me.

[TheKingofBees]

I thought dems were for getting homeless people off the street by entitlement programs...

[Akvai]

Great job. Now, instead of having all their junk in one place e.g. - a shopping cart, it will be scattered all over alleyways and parking lots.

[Curls]

I wish he would realize that it's not stealing if it's been thrown into the trash, only to be resold as trash.

[QUOTE=FunnyStarRunner;42921370]But shopping carts are bigger. And heavier.[/QUOTE]

to be fair a cart isn't nearly as direct in blunt force as a sledge

Now you're more like the "Aloha" state.
