How was he a “KNOWN TRANSIENT?” Does he go around telling people he’s a Transient, or does he dress as poorly as Clark Howard? If either were true, its ANTI-American to say bad things of the DEAD who can no longer defend themselves!!! I guess we can forget about if he was murdered since he “was only a Transient.”
