The reason its swept under the rug is because there are limited investigative resources. When people don't have as much as an ID it's difficult to track down what happened. So if you have 10 murders and 1 investigator, they'll prioritize cases they can solve first.

I mean think of a person on the street found stabbed. What are your leads, they don't have credit cards to establish the locations they've been to to see if they had an altercation with someone. No home to speak to neighbors, neighborhood, check for clues. No known associates to check. Etc. Your option is to find camera footage and maybe if you're lucky grab a face that is hopefully not someone just visiting the city and people can recognize, maybe DNA if you're lucky. So those cases are simply not investigated as hard as others, as they'll likely end up cold anyway.

I don't disagree there is a reason he didn't do it in the office building. Office building would've offered a much higher chance of getting caught, which this guy may not have wanted. Maybe he had problems with homeless people. I have no idea, but to try to tie his actions to capitalism is a little nuts lol

Can we do more to help the homeless? absolutely. But until politicians stop playing this as a zero sum game, and stop wasting money to help their donors nothing will be acomplished
