A bum on the street might not be a reliable source of information, but he/she might still be saying the truth. Cops wouldn't take their word at face value (or almost anyone for that matter), but if a bum says there was a crime, cops could still investigate to make sure that's the case.
ehm ... and who the !@$# are you? ... down-trodden and cast to the curb carries no assurance that one is a quote-on-quote "bum" -- unfortunate things DO happen to good people you know -- and the ravages of mental illness are all too easy to dismiss when you're not among the ravaged! really!? in a past life i'd probably say something to the effect of "you sir, are an arrant sack of shite -- a pitifully miserable sore spewing an egregious pus of arrogance and obstinance -- a first-class jerk-off!" ... well, or some variation ;-) thankfully i reject such dead-end language, and prefer to only think it aloud. now let's review! per your allusions and my history, you've been here a whopping 10 days(!) and managed to elicit response from a growing list of ... uh ... "friends"? you're presence in other more "visible" lists i track fail to echo this recent(?) lack of restraint ... why is that? just quit now guy, while you're only ~1,000 km behind -- i say this with little more than your own interests at heart -- communication needn't be so difficult. -- C Anthony
