69-year-old Vietnam vet with throat cancer freezes to death after company shuts off his gas

******* sickening....I wish to god we had a president that gave a shit about our veterans over corporations.

 

[Preacher]

Love the excuse of not knowing someone that old was living there. I don't care HOW OLD the person was. This should not be allowed!

Well, the problem is you can't force gas companies to give away gas unless you decide to have a Communist country.

 

[Manonthestreet]

I think its illegal to shut the gas off in our state during certain monthes

Bullshit.

Its that way in Michigan but they claim they didn't know he was living there...claim it was under someone else's name.

Why does it matter that he was a vet?

what role did the president play in this in your mind? Did he personally shut the gas off?

 

[Mr. H.]

The bill was in someone else's name. What's this company supposed to do, knock on the doors of tens of thousands of customers?

How many social services agencies are in Hazel Park, MI?
Warming centers?
Homeless shelters?
The United Way?
Crisis hotlines?
Titty bars?

A president that is worth ANYTHING will make it to where these things DON'T happen. Hell Gas as in Natural Gas,Electricity,Propane,Water etc should NOT BE commodities to be bought,sold and cut off from ANYONE.

They shouldn't be allowed to charge for something people need to live.

**** that is the stupidest thing I ever heard in my life. Are you under the impression that the gas is free to gas companies? Moron

and further, guess what? Humans lived for thousands of years without gas heat.

We need food to live to, should we be able to go to the grocery store and help ourselves? Idiot.

Far out. Free groceries!

Social Democracy works for me. Electricity was either free or extremely cheap in Libya under Qaddafi. I can't remember which.

Not saying there is a comparison but if a shit hole country like that can afford it then why the hell can't the US? Its run by corporations to buy politicians who do their bidding.

Oh and I would settle for a set rate for every person in America for each thing...and if they can't afford it its paid for by some charity etc...take the 8$ million a DAY we send to israel to help pay for it...try taking care of AMERICANS before we take care of foreigners.

I'd cut all foreign aid, then tell Americans the gravy train is over, if you freeze because you chose to buy lottery tickets instead of paying your gas bill, too ******* bad.

Do you morons not understand that this country is trillions of dollars in debt?
