Only 95 pounds?! It sounds like this man is being abused or trafficked.

We're sure it was a man?

Why assume he's the victim? Maybe he tried to assault someone who got the better of him.

@4) That's totally possible. Although something about the gent's stature leads me to guess he wasn't on the prowl for trouble.

It is impossible to read that description and not be reminded of Matthew Shepard. Hard to believe that was 15 years ago now.

Another thing Obama did: he signed the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Act into law on October 28, 2009.

First year in office.

@3: I have a reputation around here as being fairly obtuse and naive, but I've always believed reports of naked men sightings.

This is not good. Sounds like Gang stuff to me.

There's nonstop drug deals going on at the 12th and Jackson bus stop, I wonder if he pissed off the wrong people accidentally.

he didnt speak any english; had his phone/backpack stolen by a group of 3 or 4 teens that regularly scout the neighborhood for vulnerable individuals [that almost never report the incidents]. He refused to give up his pocketed items and ended up having his clothes stripped. Poor little fella.

@10 if you indeed know this, I hope you reported it, even if you don't have names.

If he comes forward I would be happy to teach him how to use a handgun, in fact I would even buy him one provided he is a good citizen who meets the legal requirements.

@10/11: My partner got mugged on that block a few weeks ago, just of a device, but while there were other people around and waiting for a bus. The teenage-looking kid just ran off.
