You have to be a special kind of person…for lack of other terminology…to laugh at people’s misfortunes upon seeing someone’s bed exposed! This is why I’m so glad I removed myself from the ghetto and ghetto folk. Still am ignorant bunch.
Exactly what I'm saying. I see so much hatred and lack of empathy in the comments. Happens all the time.
Why are they asking for donations when we have a bunch of new buildings popping up all around city with empty apartments? Give them up!!!
