Before anyone types, "that's no excuse for racism," no it's not.

But, there is also no excuse for such a broken health care system that people like this can't get into humane treatment.

She is obviously drunk but that doesn't mean she is mentally ill.

these people want to blame others and dehumanize them to make their fucked up selves feel better.

It's important to call out these Racist bigoted fucked up trash rather than make excuses for them or view them as victims.

In all probability she is mentally ill, alcoholic, or both. Nothing "excuses" racism, but at what point do you stop blaming the mentally ill for their behavior?

The clown shoes, the spittle-flying rant, the clutching of the 12-pack, the public consumption of alcohol, and running into traffic.

having disability doesn't excuse bigotry.

Interesting. If it doesn't excuse bigotry, then surely it shouldn't excuse greater transgressions, like murder. Shall we just take the insanity defense off the table for good, then?

Mental illness in itself does not excuse murder.

However, it is a factor that is taken into account, and, depending on the circumstances of the crime and the nature of the disease, can mitigate the consequences drastically.

Yes, you can always find mentally ill or addicted people who will behave outrageously on camera.

Posting the videos on the internet so that you can act self-righteous or the for the sake of LOLs is cruel.

...but walking right into traffic is a classic crazy-homeless move. Now I'm not sure.

What I'm fairly sure of is that if she has a job, it's not for long.

(EDIT: My bias is showing. Not L.A., but NYC. That explains the walking into traffic. All y'all NYC pedestrians are crazy as shit...lol.)
