The entitlement society brought to you by liberals.

Quote:
A drunken man viciously carved up a Brooklyn bodega clerk’s face Thursday after being told he couldn’t use food stamps to buy a $1.25 bottle of beer.
“Sell it to me,” the suspect barked at Mutahar Murshed Ali, 34, in the Express Deli in Bushwick about 7:35 a.m. “Don’t get me mad.”
Ali told the Daily News he held his ground, telling the enraged drunk he couldn’t buy the 22-ounce Colt 45 with a food stamp card. The suspect hurled a racial slur and then stormed out of the store, Ali said.
Minutes later, the man returned, dove across the counter and sliced open Ali’s face — opening up a gash from his upper lip to his left sideburn.

They think they are entitled to buy anything with the food stamps card.
I was behind a woman who tried to buy a Texas Lotto ticket with her Lone Star card at a gas station once.

Prior to the confrontation, Ali said, he saw the man receive cash from an underage girl outside the store.
Ali believes the man was planning to buy the beer for the girl — and make money on the deal by using his food stamp card.
It has nothing to do with "entitlement". It was a crime.

No wonder the political situation in the US is so **** poor. Looking at the quality of individuals who post in the Politics forum...

Don't start using facts or anything, it would ruin the right wing thug's perfectly good lies and propaganda they spread to bash the left and minorities.

Yeah, don't stop Ed with facts he is talking about "entitlements." Oh and Ed, it would help to read what you post, this is called a crime and is very much illegal and every liberal will agree.

Yes, because a person committing a crime is so much more acceptable than a person who thinks they are entitled to get beer with their foodcard. Shame on that right wing thug for insulting that misunderstood criminal.

Why Colt 45 for heaven's sake?

If you're gonna illegally abuse the system, at least try to buy a classier drink.

Yeah.... That's what I took from this article...

The person was trying to commit a crime and should be held responsible. Trying to spin it into "it's the liberal's fault!" shows how those on the radical right spread lies and propaganda trying to smear the left with absolutely no facts behind their allegations

Get a hold of yourself. It's a crime, not evidence that we should let the destitute die of hunger. No one is insinuating that the criminal should not be punished.
