    is the implication that Americans might not be the most moral beings in the world that scary?

      No, people are horrible, but who in a town of 16k people called the police to an area that isn’t heavily populated, within 20 minutes? The easy answer, the people who put the statue there because literally who else would know? I’ve seen people drive around people ODd in the street, like they don’t care enough to call the cops unless you’re actively bothering them.

        dude, small towns are filled with some of the most vile and spiteful people I have ever met, literally hold grudges their entire lives, and think themselves better than you because their great great grandad did something in the area, they are exactly the people who would call the cops that fast

          Look until you find the person who placed the phone call, or even maybe just a statement from the police that actually details the event, not the happy glad handing bullshit “we care”. I’m going to assume that the priest or the organization called the police because nobody gave a shit about the statue they wasted money on rather than actually helping the homeless.

            counterpoint, how about you get a statement from the police about no one calling? oh wait, turns out police don’t give statements like that AND don’t actually release who called for what (and for good reason)

            but wait, you’re just trying to put up some proof that you know isn’t possible to get because you can’t accept that small towns are where hate lives

              Yeah and you’re trying to convince me a priest did something other than diddle kids, while providing the same amount of evidence.

                to be fair, there are a lot of priests who don’t do anything to children, meanwhile the hate of homless people in America is so high several states have literally outlawed being homeless
