What Sort Of Person Steals From Someone Who Has Nothing
Ya just know the world is going to hell in a hand basket when the homeless are getting robbed.
“Homeless poet, sorry no poems, everything stolen while I went to eat. Nice city we live in, eh.”
So read ‘Crazzy’ Dave Dessler’s sign after he returned from dinner Friday to find his possessions had vanished.
For two years, Mr. Dessler has been a poem-writing fixture at George Street and Sussex Drive. In the winter, he shovels his stretch of pavement. Recently, he hauled garbage bags full of litter from the shrubs growing opposite his post.
I’m sure the the police are working really (really) hard to solve this one.
Amazing … I’ve chatted with this guy a few times and friends have purchased poems from him … nice guy … incredible that this would happen … good ole’ Ottawa – still the “Big city with the small town feel”? Not so sure.
It’s the same kind of punks who invade homes of the infirm, and beat them up. There are a lot of sick people out there, and a lot of them are disguised as people with money.
