Continuing the leg story, Tim watches follow-up news coverage describing the suspect as a well-liked, polite homeless regular at a liquor store, and argues he shouldn't be prosecuted, tying it to California's permissive homelessness policies.
- Tim argues that calling police on someone eating a found leg at a crime scene reflects a society of "feds and rats," and predicts more people will steal body parts from crime scenes for YouTube videos.
- Calling the man "homeless" is wrong—he's an "unhoused neighbor," and Tim refuses to let him be dragged on the internet simply for being found with a leg.
- Getting hit by a train is entirely the victim's fault—everyone knows where trains are, and if you're struck by one, you deserve to have your leg eaten.
- Tim states plainly he doesn't want the man jailed for eating a leg, and believes California's governor agrees they shouldn't live in such a world.
- Local residents describe Tez as ordinary and polite—a regular at the liquor store who bought food and beer, never caused trouble, and people assumed he couldn't possibly be the one eating a leg.
- Despite Tez's history of misdemeanor convictions, homelessness, addiction, and multiple outstanding warrants, Tim argues against crucifying him for taking and eating a leg from a crime scene.
- This situation is the culmination of California's good ideas about letting people live on the street, self-medicate, and chart their own course.
- Leg-eating by the homeless is just another feature Californians will have to deal with, like good avocados and fresh seafood.
