"Quest'armata di senzatetto non è gradita. È proprio gente inutile per una comunità moderna e produttiva che vuole migliorarsi e se non fosse per la tolleranza che è indispensabile in una società civile quella accozzaglia starebbe già tutta in qualche discarica o peggio ancora nell'altoforno a sciogliersi per l'alta temperatura. Presto sarebbe recuperata per fondere oggetti utili per davvero come chiavi, serrature, sbarre per le finestre di galere e abitazioni private. In questa patetica armata non ce n'è uno che si salva. Mosche impazzite, dicono i cittadini."
