What can I say? Retarded.
A high-end antique dealer on the Upper East Side is suing four unnamed homeless people for $1 million on the grounds that they've driven away customers by loitering on the sidewalk in "old, warn, and unsanitary clothing and cardboard boxes and old blankets which they convert into sleeping accommodations."In addition to money, Karl Kemp & Associates Antiques, located near 69th Street at 833 Madison Ave. near Gucci, Chanel, and Prada, is asking a Manhattan Supreme Court judge to force the homeless defendants to stay at least 100 feet away from the store, according to legal papers filed yesterday.

This story so incensed me that I looked Karl Kemp's e-mail address up via Google, and wrote him a note verbalizing my disdain for his tactics. I mentioned that my belief is that this lawsuit is totally going to backfire, on him....no one likes someone who literally has no conception of illness or what it is to not have primary needs met. I may have also mentioned to him that when his shop goes out of business, that maybe he too will need to seek warmth from a nearby heating grate. I added that it's too bad that such grates can't help the coldness of the human heart. Poor Karl. He can't help it if he's completely out of touch with the broad spectrum of the human experience....he's been blinded by dollar signs.
