Crap. In the US of A, we (meaning the legal representatives of the society) CANNOT burn people out.

It's horrifying. I don't care who they are, where they are, whether you agree with them or not, human beings are not some sort of infestation.

You may not like their circumstances, but in the name of God, they deserve to be treated with dignity.

This is a repudiation of our values and beliefs as a society. If we can't recognize that and haven't experienced true hardship in our own lives, perhaps looking into our own family history provides some empathy.

Anyone's grandparents survive the Dust Bowl, the Great Depression, just to name two?

Most have family tragedies that we survive, including poverty and death. It takes time and help to recover.
