Horrible conclusion to a desperate situation. The article didn’t mention it but the dog was in the bedroom with him and also died as well.

I get that this is not the kind of situation where one would think about this, but poor pets are always victims, no matter what. They don't understand what or why, they just suddenly are suffering :(

I've been watching a documentary about the collapse of the Soviet Union and those are always the worst parts. Fuck people, but don't leave the scared monkeys caged in a zoo in the middle of a war. We carelessly exploit so much and just throw it away.

I know this is a joke, but I don’t imagine this is a simple cleanup

I wasn't joking. I was being mildly hyperbolic. Landlord is just going to file an insurance claim. Probably get a tax break for the loss. Maybe instead of making 900,000 this year they make 875,000. Life goes on because fuck poor people

I guarantee you the landlord has insurance and will do none of the work themselves.

Just numbers on a balance sheet to them.

And who will do the cleanup? More poor people who don't own houses.

Better to burn the landlords instead

My dad was getting evicted from my childhood home that my dad built. Mostly from little faults on his own.

He was never suicidal but he told us that he was going to fight the police and would rather die than leave the house. He was pretty much planning on going down with the house.

After years and years of battling the bank that screwed my dad and losing my mom to cancer, I asked my dad to stop fighting and we convinced him to live in an apartment that my siblings pool together to pay for.

The point of it is losing a home is very depressing and hurtful. We don't need police to serve paper, but social workers and government support for people that got displaced.
