So to you it’s not disgusting if a homeless person shoots a homeless person?
Not in the same way as someone of means intentionally targeting homeless people, no. The difference is the apparent motive.
You don't see the difference between a targeted attack on a demographic versus violence between two individuals of the same socioeconomic standing? Really?
I think the gun violence either way is beyond disgusting. This was an avoidable attack that people in the comments are trying to justify based on the victim and / or attackers social economic position.
I don't think anyone is trying to justify it, simply frame it in proportion to what it was.
