Beijing — He woke (click here) to the cry of the morning janitor. “Put your shoes on!” she said. “Put your shoes on!” She rattled a chair. “This isn’t your house! Sit up!"
Ding Xinfeng’s eyes blinked open. Dawn had yet to break, but inside a 24-hour McDonald’s restaurant in central Beijing, more than a dozen homeless people had begun their daily routines.
Mr. Ding lifted his head, revealing a mess of food stains and decorative slogans on the table in front of him. “Wake up every morning with the thought that something wonderful is about to happen,” one read.
Mr. Ding could not read the English, but he said he liked the warmth of this table, in this corner, in the peace of McDonald’s, the place he had called home for several years....
In the USA, Homeless people are arrested for lingering to long. In some cities like Albuquerque, New Mexico; the homeless human beings are litigated to be dangerous and requiring the SWAT squad.
China is a communist country. I am a little surprised there are homeless in their cities. But, that aside, the COMPASSION of a communist country screams superiority over democracies.
In the USA, the homeless are automatically derelict the very moment they find themselves on the street. The people, including children, are not just derelict, but, disturbed and dangerous. That is the difference between a communist country and one dominated by Wall Street's plutocrats.
James Boyd never had a chance. He was lied to as he knew he was a dead man. The police lied that they would allow him to come out in the open and proceed out of his resting place. They lied to him. It is completely obvious he was going to be murdered right from the beginning.
This murder was not the ONLY killing. Demonstrators had finally succeeded to get their message out and the federal government began their investigation. At the point James Boyd was murdered there were more than 20 people that had come to the same outcome. If Albuquerque, New Mexico built shelters and provided meals with the decriminalizing of homelessness it would have saved over twenty lives and provided a far more moral profile of the city.
