is it normal id like to shoot angry weirdo vigilantes who sit home watchin cable news and polishin their rifles while havin violent fantasies?
That's cold. When I see a homeless I think there but for the grace of God. Most of us are just a couple paychecks away from them.
It's possible you're incapable of the level of introspection necessary, but have you ever considered exactly why homeless people trigger you?
Maybe you see them as powerless, and so an easy target for you to vent the rage you feel due to your perception that you have very little control over what's happening in your own life. Think of the guy who's treated like shit at work and then comes home to beat on his wife and kids as a way of confirming to himself that he's a powerful man.
Maybe the fact that homeless people have fallen so far challenges your cherished beliefs about the rules and values of the society you live in. Cognitive dissonance can provoke a rage response; rather than looking at the evidence that one's beliefs are incorrect and altering those beliefs, there can be a urge to destroy the conflict-producing evidence. Think of the Catholic church burning heretics at the stake, Islamic nutjobs beheading non-believers and so on.
Or maybe what you're truly feeling when you look at homeless people is fear. Maybe you're smart enough that, somewhere down in the depths of your mind, there's a very unpleasant thought squirming around: if the dice had rolled slightly differently in your life, you could be one of them. You deal with this by "othering" them - seeing them as less than human and so completely different to you - and therefore no more deserving of life than a rat or a housefly.
You remind me of someone that made a post about how humans are worthless.
By doing that you are a degenerate and I will not sympathize if you go behind bars.
