I live in Seattle. Every park and green space and sidewalk is being filled with homeless campers, most of them are drug addicts, most of them are thieves, some of them are dangerous.

 You want to come up with something not 50 years old?

His "yeah, but..." framing of his statement is saying that they deserved it.
