Terror Attack hero Chris Paker stole from dying victims
 

stay classy San Diego

:worry:

Ugh. I get that people can be desperate but really, can you get lower? We once had an old guy collapse outside the shop... two young guys bent down to "help" him, even started helping him up, then grabbed his wallet out of his inside pocket and literally dropped him back on the concrete. In that case, another couple of local guys chased after them and they dropped the wallet but unfortunately, weren't physically caught.

Ouch. I remember him being hailed a hero...and yet he was just trying to steal from the victims?!

Trash! I know it’s horrible but most homeless people would steal lie and kill for things! Watched a documentary about it. They’re on the streets for a reason. Commiting crime!

Well no to be fair it is usually the other way around; if you're on the streets then you're desperate enough to turn to crime. I try not to judge desperate people for (non-violent) theft in the majority of cases... but stealing from someone who is lying injured or dying is a step beyond petty theft.

That a massive generalisation, making out the only reason they can be homeless is for stealing?

What a sad disheartening story, that he would steal from hurt and dying people. I read another story recently about someone who left their car window with belongings inside and a homeless man stood guard over it so no one stole it. There is good and bad in all walks of life.

Well yes. I imagine being on the streets would make most people turn to crime as there is not really any other way to survive! Not sure I could bring myself to steal from dying/very injured people like, but I cannot say for sure unless I had been in that position. I know if I was desperate enough I would turn to shoplifting and such though

Lowlife scum

Scumbag

I wonder how he was found out? Were they just reviewing the footage and saw it...but surely they would have looked at cctv footage before now? Either way, the way he was hailed a hero and had 50k raised for him...without anyone knowing the full story is ridiculous D:

whether you are homeless or not, it doesn't excuse that abhorrent behaviour. Glad they clocked him. What is even more sickening, is that as a result of having committed this act, he will get a nice warm home for the winter

Surely he has a house now anyway, with the 50k that was raised for him D: I wonder if he will have to pay that back...I wouldn't think so but maybe he will

No like TS said most of them commit crime because they have to ie turn to crime which doesn’t make it right but a lot of homeless people murder and steal.

In cases where someone has duped people with a gofundme I think it's sadly very rare for refunds to be enforced because they were arguably the donors' own responsibility... I myself have donated to someone in the past who turned out to be fraudulent and they just disappeared from the face of the earth. I guess some would say that's a lesson in trust and being sensible with money but it's rather disheartening to be told "be less charitable". Or at least more careful with where you place it.

mess isn't he the one that people donated loads of money to?

He used a ladies visa while she was in hospital and was on CCTV taking her bag.

His conscience will get him hopefully.

Flith, chop his hands off

Can’t really get any lower than that. ****ing scumbag.

..it's very sad that his life has become something that he would do something like this...I have no idea how that must feel for someone..:sad:...

Yeah stealing is awful but to steal from people who are injured after an attack is :umm2:
