Did you? There were two dudes with the last name Scott. This was the other guy, not Malcolm:


Yeah I did and you are correct. I missed that it wasn't talking about him there. Doesn't really change anything about what I said though. Without 3 years of jail time, it would be significantly easier for him to find a job now wouldn't it?

Way to make him sound like a victim...

Without breaking the law he wouldn't have gotten 3 years of jail time. The jail time insinuates that he was a repeat offender with the marijuana offense.

There's this thing the people of this country used to value and that was personal responsibility, wish that would make a comeback like fashions do.

I'm assuming you've never been so low that you can't see the light at the end of the tunnel.

People who assume the homeless could just "get a job flipping burgers" are ridiculous. You do realize someone has to choose to hire you, right?

I can't fathom the line of thinking of a homeless person, but I can assume they are depressed. And I've been depressed. And it's not easy to just snap out of it and right the ship. It takes time, help from others, and more time.
