Bruce, this guy surely must be mentally ill. The fact that he is homeless only serves to confirm this. Anger would be wasted on him. You are already successfully past this incident. He will now go to prison or an institution I'm sure. it's best just to be glad that you are in your shoes instead of his.
Sound and solid advice.
If he's broken, as seems to be the case, then getting mad at him really is just wasted emotion.
You're ok, Jerome is ok, the rest is just gravy.
I may not be very smart, but what if I am?
