A homeless camp in North Portland burned down yesterday. The fire is considered suspicious.

 

I'm not even going to read the Oregonian account, though. Some of the people on that site harbor a near-genocidal hatred of the homeless.

 

Dude. Comment thread trolls harbour a genocidal ("near?" LOL) hatred of everyone. That doesn't mean that they're out there burning homeless camps down. That kind of thing tends to happen when there are campfires.

 

Also, you have to let it go. Externally-directed anger is a very common form of mania, the also very-common "upswing" component of bipolar disorder. Because that anger is very difficult for sufferers to explain to themselves, they usually push buttons until they get a response that justifies their anger.

 

In other words, they're going to keep on keeping on until they get a rise out of you. This is why millions and millions of people give the same advice, all the time, when this comes up: Don't read the comments.

Well, it's their own fault for being bipolar/schizophrenic/dirt poor. Why don't they just get a job?! (With no access to education, or Internet, or showers.)

I'm 99.9% sure he wasn't implying that internet trolls burned down the homeless camp.

No, but it would by typical of some of them to applaud the deed (assuming intent and not accident).

 

Internet trolls believe in rhetoric. Action not so much.
