Housed or unhoused, we get it. There’s a problem in SM. But call 911 & let the experts handle it. Guy looks like he could have been strong enough to at least intervene & detain for the police to handle. We don’t need armed vigilantes roaming around town.

Se ve que el shooter defendió a la mujer del ataque de un homeless. Con 40k sale bajo fianza para enfrentar el caso fuera de la cárcel. No se ve que sea de gangs.
