They’re Homeless for a Reason

I hope this wasn't Ducky...

A Massachusetts man visiting his sister here in Colorado Springs thought he’d assuage his liberal white guilt by bringing a homeless bum into his sister’s house. As a thank you, the homeless miscreant stabbed him.

From the CSPD Blotter:

Record ID 16890
Incident Date August 4, 2012 Time 7:02:00 AM Division Falcon Shift I Title Assault Location 1000 block of E. 4th St. Summary On 08/04/2012, at 0702 hrs., 

Officers from the Falcon Division were dispatched to 1000 block of E. 4th St. to investigate a stabbing. The investigation revealed that the victim, a 49 year old male, who was in town from Massachusetts visiting his sister, was stabbed once in the upper chest at about 0330 hrs. 

The victim met the suspect at the 7-11 at Fillmore St. and Hancock Av. The victim felt sorry for the suspect because he was homeless, so he invited the suspect to his sister’s house in the 1000 block of E. 4th St. The victim and suspect were drinking when they started arguing. The victim told the suspect he had to leave and an altercation ensued. The victim pushed the suspect out of the gate and the suspect left the area. The victim then realized he had been cut on the upper chest. The wound was superficial and the victim was treated and released at a local hospital. 

The suspect is described as a white male, tall with long gray/brown hair wearing small framed glasses. The suspect left on a bicycle pulling a small trailer with many pots and metal items on it.

But there's also happy news in the Police Blotter...
