This is dedicated to the people who recently found themselves relentlessly picking through a family’s life outside of Celtic Manor. Never in a community as fine as Ames have pigs rolled around in the mud digging for treasures that were hopelessly and temporarily abandoned by their owner. Such a thought is awful; such a sight was appalling.

A man suffered by being unable to pay rent for himself and his family, and later swallowed his pride when his sinister landlord put their lives on a curb with a mere flex of his legal muscles.

Blinded by a blanket of greed, people ran to the streets to take advantage and collect this family’s misfortune. Prom dresses, computers, couches, and other personal items that are mere extensions of this family were taken. The vultures had the decency to replace these curbed prizes only with personal attributes like integrity, dignity and humanity; qualities with no apparent value to such pirates.

Cheers to the few samaritans possessing the character to collect personal items with plans to return them and help the family out. Jeers to the dozens who committed such vulturous acts, and may they receive no pleasure in these disappointing acts of condemnation.
