A homeless New Jersey man beaten in a video that appeared on YouTube has received an outpouring of support from outraged members of his community since his plight became public Monday.
We have grown so accustomed to horrible stories that there really is nothing that could shock us any longer. Our imaginations have been pushed to the limit on a regular basis and stories that used to leave us shaking our heads in disbelief have become so routine that we are numb to even react. However even in this sick, depraved society every once in a while comes a story that you can’t ignore
A young man strides purposefully into the woods as a cameraman asks what he's about to do. "About to go beat up this bum," the man in the video says. And that's exactly what he does, punching and kicking a homeless man in the face, bloodying his nose, before wishing him a Merry Christmas.
