Homeless man doused with water
A video has been circulating showing a man snickering as he pours water on a homeless man sleeping in a doorway in Chinatown.

A disgusting, dehumanizing act. The perpetrator looks and sounds like an complete asshole. He’s quoted as saying he apologizes for posting the video but not for committing the act. His after-the-fact accusations that the homeless man had been harassing customers sound too fucking convenient, are probably fabrications. Hoping the mooted criminal charges are laid and that there are other consequences, like protests in front of his crappy business and its imminent closure.

What a sick fuck. I gave his establishment a 1 star review on Google.

@dhomas – Sorry, but that’s not right either. You aren’t a customer and that devalues the whole review system and makes reviews less trustworthy, especially other reviews by you. (Also, they will simply “flag” the review as inappropriate, Google will eventually remove it and your account will be marked as having posted an inappropriate review, leading to your reviews being less valued and posted towards the bottom of all reviews. Which devalues them further).

I wouldn’t put much value in reviews, most businesses inflate their good reviews on way or another. Most reviews are also generally left by people who are extremely happy or extremely disappointed by their experience.

Now that all the virtue-signalling is behind us… remember that we’re on our way to 100 million people here in Canada thanks to our government’s policies, and that this will lead to many awful and inhuman situations like this one. Just the fact that people sleep on dirty, rat-infested steps is inhuman.

1. “On our way to 100 million people” is a gross exaggeration.
2. Why is it more inhumane for a person to sleep in a doorway here than to starve somewhere else? Because wealthy white people are forced to notice it?

I would consider a Google review quite useful if it linked an establishment to a story such as this. I’d avoid the business at all costs.
