   He was cruel to a guy with a shopping cart who took advantage of their   
   sleeping to steal all their stuff. When he tracked the man down, he   
   forced him not only to return what he had taken but everything else as   
   well, which was the same as killing him.   
      
   Even the /kid/ knew this was wrong.
