Really showing you deserve those islands you're pissed over.

[thepikey]

That's why they want those islands - so they'll have a place to put the beggars...

the temple fair is so crowded that beggars might be hit by cars or trampled by the crowd

Wtf. If they were really concerned about the beggars being injured, they could have put up some sort of fence or barricade, not put the beggars in a cage. What the fucking fuck.

Seems like they simultaneously prevented these people from actually begging anything for themselves as well by isolating them from the crowd. Also, what kind of bogus "reasoning" is that anyway? If you're concerned about safety, make arrangements to make the place safer, not this bullshit.

It's good that the response was unequivocally against it, though.

What the actual fuck.

And then this "All the beggars voluntarily entered it.”
Why am I so hesitant to believe this, I am almost sure they were coerced into entering it by the authorities.

WTF? At first I thought it said bears, then I realized it was actual people....
