Okay, donkey of the day for Monday, October 7th, goes to an Idaho man named Hoyt Webb. Okay, Hoyt Webb is 36 years old, and he's going to spend the next 36 months in jail because he pled guilty to second-degree assault. That's a little over three years in jail after making a plea deal because he live-streamed himself shooting a homeless man

in downtown Spokane, Washington. Three years in jail after making a plea deal because he live-streamed himself shooting a homeless man. Guess what race he is! Let's go to 4News Now News for the report, please. This photo is from the live stream showing Webb armed with a gun strapped to his chest. Webb claims in a police interview when he arrived to the area, he got out of his car and said he saw a man with a machete.

Instead of leaving the area, Webb went back to his car and grabbed his gun. He's harmless, man. Josh is a friend of the victim's shot on Friday. Police say two bullets discharged from Hoyt Webb's harmless, man. Josh is a friend of the victim shot on Friday. Police say two bullets discharged from Hoyt Webb's gun, one hitting Josh's friend armed with an almost empty cup of iced coffee. That's disgusting. According to court documents, Webb confessed to yelling at people and calling them names, which led to an argument between Webb and several individuals.

Buy me, b****. Shortly after that, conflict erupted around the block. It appears that you specifically went to this particular location for your own entertainment. Webb has a YouTube channel named Kootenai County Press, where he goes into public places and confronts people, initiating arguments. And that's what he did on Friday. He claims to have been documenting the Spokane homeless crisis. For the record, all the homeless man had in his hand was some iced coffee, by the way. But the demonization of the poor

will never stop. Hoyt, you walking around complaining about the homeless. Imagine how they feel. You complaining about the homeless, and they are complaining about being homeless. It's not the same. Also, this is what I don't understand about people like Hoyt Webb. If you see a problem, why make that problem more of a problem?

You don't solve a problem by creating more problems. If you're not trying to be a part of the solution, then get out the way. Some folks act like these people chose to be homeless. You think these people want to be in the circumstance they're in? No. So why go out there with your camera, live streaming folks, shaming them for a condition they don't want to be in? And then you shoot one and all you get is three years?

Now, Hoyt's brother, okay, his name is Kessler, he said that he feels the three years wasn't enough time. Drop one of Clues' bombs for him. Okay? Duh. All right, he told the local Fox and My Network TV affiliate that I still don't believe what he got was fair. That's a brother who's fed up.

That's a brother who's been watching his brother get away with foolishness their whole life. And he wants his brother to finally have to deal with the consequences of his actions. His brother told Hoyt, you're evil. OK, you went out seeking your 15 minutes of fame. Now you're getting more than your 15 minutes of fame. Yes, that is true. He's getting a little over three years. And I agree.

That's not enough time. You almost killed a man because, you know, you almost killed a man because you know you almost killed a man you you caused this man to lose a kidney he lost half his bowels he suffered damage to a coronary artery why for no other reason than you hate the poor okay i don't understand demonizing people because they are in circumstances that they can't control there's just too many you know complex causes of homelessness all right people can be mentally ill they can be addicted they can be running from abusive relationships. Some people can't find work.

Hell, there's a lack of affordable housing options in this country. So when you demonize the homeless, you just oversimplify how this person ended up being homeless to begin with. What happened to the golden rule, doing to others as you would have them doing to you? Come up with some compassionate solutions to help.

How about just basic human dignity? Okay, understand that every person, regardless of their living situation, deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. Don't dehumanize them. And please, Hoyt, understand, homelessness can happen to anyone. Okay, I don't know what your financial situation is, but three years away from society, not working, that's a big setback. It's possible you might

come home to nothing. You might come home and not have a place to stay. Okay. Jail, I'm sure, was an unforeseen circumstance. That's how a lot of homelessness happens as a result of unforeseen circumstances. Okay. Like I said earlier, job loss, you might have a medical emergency, family breakdown, and oh, going to jail. All right. Going to prison. Now, Hoyt, since you're in prison, the only position you need to worry about being in is downward dog, okay? But once again, Hoyt, this could be you.

And when you demonize the homeless the way you demonize the homeless, you ignore the reality that you yourself are only a few setbacks away from being in a similar position. Please give Hoyt Webb the biggest hee-haw. Hee-haw. Hee-haw. Mm-mm-mm-mm hee-haw. That's disgusting.
