At least one person was killed and four others wounded in a shooting at a homeless encampment in Las Vegas on Friday, police said.
The incident occurred in the area of Charleston Boulevard and U.S. 95 around 5:30 p.m. local time. Officers responded to a homeless encampment, where witnesses directed them to multiple victims, Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Lt. Jason Johansson said at a press briefing Friday night.

The only person who made that assumption was you. No one mentioned whether the shooter was homeless or not.

If a homeless person attacks a homeless person, they are still attacking someone society has failed. My interpretation of the comment is that it is more related to the victim than the perpetrator, like shooting elderly people in a nursing home or children or otherwise less privileged people - you’re victimizing someone who doesn’t have the same opportunity to protect or defend themselves or even choose where they reside. This is not to say that they are pitiable or anything like that, but they are disenfranchised.
Exactly.
He’s talking about the victims there genius. There’s no assumption there about the shooter.

Yeah, no. It really doesn’t
That is not how to interpret that statement. That reduces the point to a tautological statement of no consequence.
No, that’s what they said. Stop adding your own assumptions
This is rich.
I also came to that conclusion
You’re the one who needs to learn to read.

The correct phrase is “if you say so.”
