  1. Why is Cenk so amazed? Homeless people are often treated like they don't even exist. It's easy to rob a homeless person. Homeless people kill homeless people over food fairly often. And people have made money off this story. TYT are youtube partners. They get paid when we watch the videos. Every reporter made loot for telling the story. Hell, the NYPD saved money of public relations due to Officer DePrimo's wonderfulness. Mr. Hillman makes a fair point. People are getting paid for pitying him.

  3. No. It's his story. It's as much his story as Officer DePrimo & the Arizona cop who snapped the picture. You better believe that Sketcher's store made a few extra sales. The news outlets are selling commercial spots too. Every youtube video that runs an ad while people, like you & me, are posting vids to share the story is generating money too. Homeless or not, Mr. Tillman is a private citzen who never gave any permission to anyone to use & broadcast his likeness. He makes a fair point.

  4. Brilliant. Groan-worthy but brilliant nontheless.
