ACLU Police Church Homeless Shelters National Coalition for the homeless BUMS, DRUNKS, ALCOHOLICS, TRANSIENTS, DRUG ADDICTS, CON-ARTISTS, CRACKHEADS, VAGRANTS, CHONICALLY HOMELESS, PANHANDLERS, URBAN OUTDOORSMEN, SQUEEGY MEN, SQUEEGY KIDS, HOBOS, DERELICTS, DRIFTERS,TRAMPS Internet

THIS IS AN ACCOUNT OF TRUE EXPERIENCES. 

FOR YEARS I HAVE BEEN ON A QUEST TO FIND A NICE PLACE TO LIVE AND NOW I AM LEFT ONLY WITH THE CHOICE OF COLD WEATHER AND BUMS OR WARM WEATHER AND BUMS. ITS SAD THAT THERE ARE NO ALTERNATIVES THAT DO NOT INCLUDE BUMS, DRUNKS, ALCOHOLICS, TRANSIENTS, DRUG ADDICTS, CON-ARTISTS, CRACKHEADS, VAGRANTS, CHONICALLY HOMELESS, PANHANDLERS, URBAN OUTDOORSMEN, SQUEEGY MEN, SQUEEGY KIDS, HOBOS, DERELICTS, DRIFTERS,TRAMPS, VAGABONDS, STREET PEOPLE, BEGGARS, BOX-DWELLERS, SHOPPING CART MEN, BAG LADIES AND WERE STILL CREATING NEW WORDS TO DESCRIBE THE PHENOMENON OF HUMAN VERMIN. THEY RUMMAGE THROUGH THE TRASH ALONE OR IN PIERCED PUNK BEGGING GANGS, WREAKING OF URINE AND FECES, THEY BEG FOR MONEY, SUFFER FROM ALCOHOLISM, DRUGS, DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, OFTEN FIND THEMSELVES CONVICTED SERIAL KILLERS OR MURDERERS AND ARE PLAGUED WITH A MYRIAD OF DISEASES. 

WHY DO WE CONTINUE TO APOLOGIZE FOR GENTRIFICATION, RENOVATION AND THE REVITALIZATION OF NEIGHBORHOODS? WE PAID FOR IT. YET THE HOMELESS ADVOCACY ORGANIZATIONS MAKE US FEEL GUILTY. WE PAY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO LIVE IN MAJOR CITIES FOR AMENITIES THAT THE HOMELESS DEMAND FOR FREE. TO MAKE IT WORST THEY ASK FOR HANDOUTS IN SOMETIMES MENACING FACE TO FACE ENCOUNTERS.

DRUNKENNESS, DRUG ABUSE AND DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ARE NOT DISEASES THEY ARE CHOICES. I COULD HAVE BEEN A DRUNK. I COULD HAVE USED DRUGS AND I COULD HAVE STAYED IN AN ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIP. I HAVE BEEN EXPOSED TO ALL OF THESE SITUATIONS. THE CHOICES ARE OUT THERE AND MOST OF US DID NOT MAKE THOSE WRONG CHOICES AND IF WE DID, WE RECOGNIZED SOON ENOUGH TO CORRECT THE MISTAKE BEFORE SLIPPING INTO A PERMANENT HELLISH EXISTENCE. SOME OF THESE PEOPLE HAVE MADE THE WRONG CHOICES FOR DECADES AND THEY WANT YOU TO PAY, THEY HOLD US RESPONSIBLE AND ATTACK ANYONE WHO HAS THEIR LIFE TOGETHER.

I HEAR THE HOMELESS ADVOCATES VOICING THEY'RE VISION OF THE FUTURE. THEY WANT FULL ACCESS TO ALL STREETS, PARKS, BEACHES, AND LIBRARIES. ADVOCATES WANT FREEDOM TO DEFECATE, URINATE, SLEEP, CAMP, HAVE SEX AND BE DRUNK IN THE STREETS FOR AN UNLIMITED PERIOD OF TIME. SOME OF THE HOMELESS DEMANDS ARE: FREE FOOD, FREE HOUSING IN THE VERY AFFLUENT AREAS THEY HAVE BEEN SQUATTING IN, A SAFE ENVIRONMENT,FREE HEALTH CARE AND AMNESTY ON THEIR TICKETS, FINES AND VIOLATIONS OF THE LAW. I KNOW MANY HARD WORKING PEOPLE THAT CANT LIVE IN THE AREAS THEY WOULD LIKE, ARE NOT IN SAFE ENVIRONMENTS AND MANY DONT HAVE HEALTH CARE. THERE IS AN EFFORT TO KEEP DEVELOPERS OUT SO NEW BUILDINGS CANT BE BUILT. IN THEIR OPINION ALL BUILDINGS SHOULD BE CHARITY ORGANIZATIONS WITH FREE RENT. THE HOMELESS ARE RESENTFUL OF ANY PROFIT BEING MADE ON QUALITY HOUSING. IN BLIGHTED NEIGHBORHOODS THEY CAN BLEND IN AND SPRAWL OUT IN FRONT OF OLD BOARDED UP DILAPIDATED DUMPS. IF THIS CONTINUES, WHERE CAN THE NORMAL PEOPLE GO? THE ANSWER IS, NOWHERE BECAUSE WHEREVER EVER WE GO, THEY CAN FOLLOW. ITS NOT POSSIBLE FOR THEM TO LIVE WITH EACH OTHER SO FOREVER THEY ADHERE TO US LIKE TICKS ON A MANGY DOGS A$S.

PEOPLE CONTINUE TO SUPPORT GIVING MONEY, SHELTER, NEEDLES, FOOD, AND THE STOPPAGE OF TICKETS FOR OFFENCES. I JUST CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY ANYONE STILL BELIEVES IN THIS FAILED APPROACH. IT ONLY PROLONGS THE PROBLEM.

WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE THAT SUPPORT STREETCAMPING AND PUBLIC DEFECATION? LETS FIND OUT AND STOP VOTING FOR THEM.

THERE IS THE ARGUMENT THAT IF WE DON'T GIVE THE HOMELESS FREE SHELTER AND FOOD THEY WILL RIOT AND ROB. I THOUGHT THIS COUNTRY HAD A POSITION OF NOT CAVING IN TO THREATS OF ATTACK AND TERROR.THE POLICE WILL HAVE TO BE MORE INVOLVED TO STOP THEIR DRUNKEN ATTACKS. I OFTEN HEAR COMMENTS FROM PANHANDLERS STATING THAT THIS IS BETTER THAN KILLING AND ROBBING. THIS IS A THREAT VEILED BY INNUENDO.

JESUS IMAGE HAS BEEN USED BY THESE OUTCASTS AND I AM APPALLED. HOW DARE ANYONE NAME THESE DISCIPLES OF DIRT, JESUS. AS FOR BEING HOMELESS, BACK THEN, NOT MANY PEOPLE LIVED IN THE SUBURBS WITH TWO CAMEL GARAGES. PEOPLE WERE OFTEN NOMADIC IN THOSE DAYS. MARY AND JOSEPH WERE NOT HOMELESS, THEY LIVED IN NAZARETH. WHILE IN ROUTE TO PAY TAXES, THEY HAD A TEMPORARY LODGING PROBLEM AT THE TIME OF JESUS BIRTH. JESUS OWNED A HOME IN THE CITY OF CAPERNAUM SEE MARK 2:1 IN THE BIBLE, THE GREEK TRANSLATION FOR HOME IS (OIKOS) HE WAS ALSO A SKILLED CARPENER AND TRADESMAN. THE HOMELESS SHOULD STOP USING JESUS TO GLORIFY THEMSELVES. JESUS HAD A MESSAGE OF LOVE AND HOPE. HE DID NOT BEG AND DEFECATE IN THE STREETS AND WAS NOT KNOWN TO BE A DRUG ADDICT OR ALCOHOLIC. LONG HAIR DOES NOT MAKE YOU JESUS.

I AGREE, ANYONE CAN BECOME HOMELESS. A NATURAL DISASTER, FIRE OR UNEXPECTED LIFE CHANGES CAN CAUSE INSTANT HOMELESSNESS. DRUNKS AND DRUG ADDICTS ARE HOMELESS BECAUSE THEY CHOOSE TO BE DRUNK AND  DRUGGED AND REJECT RESPONSIBILTY FOR THEIR OWN WELL BEING. THE PEOPLE THAT REALLY DESERVE HELP ARE NOT ABLE TO GET IT BECAUSE OF THESE PERSISTENT BUMS.

 THE HOMELESS ARE SOMETIMES TREATED WORST THAN ANIMALS. WELL, THEY OFTEN BEHAVE WORST THAN ANIMALS. WE DON'T ALLOW ANIMALS TO SOIL THE STREETS AND TICKETS ARE ISSUED TO PEOPLE THAT DON'T CLEAN UP AFTER THEIR PETS. OUR PETS ARE ALLOWED TO LIVE WITH US FOR FREE BECAUSE IN MOST CASES THEY CANT WORK TO EARN THEIR KEEP. THE REASON WE KEEP THEM FED AND WARM IS BECAUSE PETS PROVIDE LOVE SUPPORT AND BRING GOOD FEELINGS TO THE THEIR FAMILY. DRUNKS BRING GUILT, DEPRESSION, DESPAIR, FILTH, VIOLENCE, PROSTITUTION, DISEASE, DRUGS AND CRIMES OF ALL KINDS. IF THEYRE REALLY NOT ANIMALS, AS HUMANS THEY SHOULD NOT WANT TO DO PRIVATE ACTS IN PUBLIC.

MENTAL ILLNESS IS A PART OF THE PROBLEM. IN THE FIFTIES OVER A HALF A MILLION PEOPLE WERE IN MENTAL INSTITUTIONS. HOSPITALS TODAY ONLY TAKE THE SEVEREST CASES, LEAVING 80% OF THIS POPULATION UNTREATED. THE INSTITUTIONS OF THE PAST HELD MENTAL DEFICIENTS, INCOMPETENTS, DRUNKS, DRUG ABUSERS, COMPETENT SOCIAL MISFITS AND OUTCAST OF ALL TYPES. THE HOMELESS OF TODAY FILL MOST OF THESE CATEGORIES. SOME OF THESE PEOPLE ARE MENTALLY ILL BUT THE MAJORITY ARE DRUNKS, BRAIN DAMAGED DRUG ADDICTS AND VIOLENT, AIMLESS DRIFTERS.THESE DRIFTERS HAVE BEEN PORTRAYED IN BOOKS AS DOWN AND OUT, POOR, AND IN NEED OF A SECOND CHANCE. THE TRUTH IS MOST ARE UNABLE TO WORK AND SUSTAIN A HOME BECAUSE THEY ARE CONSUMED WITH THE DESIRE TO MOLEST, RAPE AND MURDER. THEIR EXISTENCE IS SUSTAINED WHEN SOMEONE IS NAIVE ENOUGH TO HIRE THEM AS A HANDYMAN, GARDENER ETC. OR TRUST THEM AS A FRIEND. 

ADVOCATES SAY HOMELESS PEOPLE WHO TALK AND SCREAM TO THEMSELVES ARE HARMLESS. WHAT CREDENTIALS DO THESE PEOPLE HAVE TO MAKE A MENTAL ASSESSMENT OF ANYONE? I CHALLENGE THIS NOTION. I WAS LOOKING AT THE REGISTERED SEX OFFENDERS IN THE MY AREA AND SOME OF THE SAME PHOTOGRAPHS SHOWED UP AS LOCAL HOMELESS OR IN A HOMELESS HOTELS. LOOK IT UP IN YOUR NECK OF THE WOODS AND COMPARE THE SEX OFFENDER FACES TO THE DRUNKS, DRUGGIES AND BUMS WALKING AROUND YOUR AREA. IF THESE MISSIONS, HALFWAY HOUSES AND SHELTERS ARE SO SAFE WHY DO THEY NEED SECURITY AND HAVE TO MAKE PROMISES TO THE POLICE THAT THEY WILL CONTROL THE BUMS LOITERING AROUND THEIR BUILDINGS. ITS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF US BEING FORCED TO SACRAFICE THE SAFETY OF OURSELVES AND OUR CHILDERN JUST SO LOSERS CAN LIVE IN NEIGHBORHOOD CHURCHES, HOSPITALS, MISSIONS AND HALFWAY HOUSES. TIME AND TIME AGAIN CHILDREN HAVE BEEN HARRASSED, MOLESTED AND MURDERED WHEN THESE FACILITIES HAVE BEEN IN THEIR LOCATIONS. THESE PROGRAMS DO NOT WORK. THESE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN ON THE STREETS FOR DECADES. IN AND OUT OF SO CALLED PROGRAMS HOMELESS AGENCIES HAVE BECOME MOBILE GHETTOS. WHEREVER THEY GO BECOMES AN INSTANT SLUM.DRUGGED OUT BUMS ARE BEING OFFERED CLEAN NEEDLES. THE ADVOCATES WANT TO DRIVE VANS INTO FAMILY FILLED NEIGHBORHOODS AND DRAW DRUG ADDICTS FROM ALL OVER. ONCE AGAIN, SACRIFICE THE INNOCENT, SO BUMS CAN BE SAVED.

ADVOCATES CRITICIZE THE MEDIA FOR DEMONIZING THE HOMELESS. IN MANY INSTANCES, THE MEDIA, POLICE, COURTS AND THE CRIMINALS THEMSELVES ARE JUST STATING THE FACTS. THE HOMELESS HAVE THEMSELVES TO BLAME FOR BEING INVOLVED IN THE SOME OF THE MOST MONSTROUS CRIMES IN OUR HISTORY. MANY FAMOUS CELEBRITIES AND POLITICAL FIGURES HAVE BEEN STALKED AND KILLED. THIS LIST INCLUDES MORE THAN ONE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. THERE ARE MANY REPORTS OF VIOLENCE AGAINST THE HOMELESS. THE FACTS SHOW THAT THEY HAVE COMMITTED FAR MORE CRIMES AGAINST THE INNOCENT. THEY ARE USUALLY VICTIMIZED BY OTHER HOMELESS. THEIR BEHAVIOR ATTRACTS THE VIOLENCE AGAINST THEM. FOR TO LONG BUMS HAVE MADE THEMSELVES AND US MISERABLE THEY HAVE RUINED THE QUALITY OF LIFE IN SO MANY NEIGHBORHOODS ESPECIALLY BEACH AREAS, I'VE LOST COUNT.SOME PEOPLE IGNORE THEM AND JUST DON'T SEE THEM ANYMORE BUT SOME PEOPLE HAVE BECOME SO FRUSTRATED WITH THIS PROBLEM, THEY ARE BECOMING CRIMINALS TO LASH OUT AGAINST THEM. NORMAL WOMEN THAT HAVE BEEN HARRASSED IN THE STREET ARE ON INTERNET FORUMS, PROPOSING EVERYTHING INCLUDING RUNNING THEIR CARS OVER SQUEEGY MEN TO JUST TO GET RID OF THEM. THESE PEOPLE WOULD NEVER HAVE VIOLENT THOUGHTS OR IDEAS IF IT WAS NOT FOR DRUNKS AND BUMS. THE CONSTANT VIOLATION OF OUR CIVIL RIGHTS BRINGS OUT THE WORST IN ALL OF US. WE ARE SINKING TO THEIR LEVEL.

KEEP IN MIND THAT MANY WANTED MURDERERS, PAROLEES AND ESCAPED CONVICTS ARE DRAWN TO MISSIONS, SHELTERS AND CHURCH BASED ORGANIZATIONS, THINK ABOUT IT. IF THEYRE ON THE RUN, THEY CANT WORK OR LIVE WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY. SO WHEN THEY RUN OUT OF MONEY, GUESS WHERE THEY GO? IN THESE SETTINGS THEY CAN BLEND IN WITH THE OTHER DEGENERATES.

THERE IS NO ARGUMENT THAT THIS LIFESTYLE BREEDS CRIME. THE FACTS PROVE IT OVER AND OVER.

***CLOSE CALLS***

MADONNA-TERRORIZED BY A HOMELESS STALKER.

ANNA KOURNIKOVA- THIS HOMELESS SWIMMING STALKER SWAM 200 YARDS, NAKED TOWARD HER HOME.

THERE ARE SO MANY EXAMPLES OF MURDEROUS DRIFTERS, TRANSIENTS AND HOMELESS , BE THEY SANE OR INSANE, IT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO RESEARCH AND LIST THEM ALL.

THE CASE AGAINST LIVING OUTDOORS:

THE RIGHT TO LIVE OUTSIDE IS SUCCESSFULLY BEING FOUGHT IN OUR COURTS BY THE CIVIL LIBERTIES UNION. A NEW YORK WOMAN WAS GRANTED THE RIGHT TO SIT OUTSIDE NEAR A STEAM GRATE. SHE SCREAMED AT PASSERS BY, RAN INTO TRAFFIC, SMEARED FECES AND URINE ON PAPER MONEY AND THEN SET IT ON FIRE. THE WOMANS FAMILY AND MAYOR KOCH LOST THE FIGHT TO GET HER OFF OF THE STREETS AND INTO TREATMENT.

SINCE THE DAWN OF MAN WE HAVE LIVED INDOORS. OUR BODIES ARE NOT EQUIPPED TO HANDLE THE EXTREME CONDITIONS THE EARTH HAS TO OFFER. EVEN EARLY HUMANS IN WARM CLIMATES LIVED INDOORS, IF NOT FOR WEATHER REASONS, FOR PROTECTION FROM ANIMALS AND RIVAL TRIBES. ONLY THESE SOCIAL VULTURES WOULD CHALLENGE THE PROGRESSION OF MANS EVOLUTION. 

IN EARLY CIVILIZATIONS THIS OVERT ANTI-SOCIAL BEHAVIOR WOULD RESULT IN BANISHMENT AND OR DEATH. THIS BEHAVIOR IMPEDES THE SUCCESS OF ANY SOCIAL GROUP. HUMANS AND ANIMALS OF ALL KINDS DO NOT ACCEPT THIS TYPE OF BEHAVIOR. IMAGINE A TRIBE MEMBER THAT REFUSED TO HUNT, PREPARE FOOD OR CARE FOR THEIR CHILDREN. THE ANIMAL WORLD IS EVEN HARSHER. WILD ANIMALS ENGAGING IN DESTRUCTIVE, NON PRODUCTIVE, ABNORMAL BEHAVIOR ARE USUALLY KILLED BY PREDATORS, REJECTED OR DESTROYED BY THE FITTER OF THEIR SPECIES.

FOLLOWING ARE PERSONAL ENCOUNTERS FAMILY AND FRIENDS HAVE EXPERIENCED IN NY, CALIFORNIA, HAWAII, EUROPE AND A FEW PLACES IN BETWEEN.

RESTAURANTS:

SIDEWALK CAFES ARE OFTEN RUINED BECAUSE THE TABLES ARE SO CLOSE TO THE BUMS THAT JUST "HAPPEN" TO WALK BY .

WE PAY TO GO TO THESE RESTAURANTS DOWNTOWN AND WE BUY CONDOS TO LIVE IN THE AREA. WE WANT TO DANCE, IN THE CLUBS AND ENJOY THE NIGHTLIFE. WE PAY FOR THE PRIVILEGE. THE HOMELESS RESENT IT AND PUNISH US BY LOOKING AND SMELLING HORRIBLE. I DON'T WANT TO GIVE A PETRIFIED PICKLED PILFERER ANYTHING WHILE IM EATING.

SIDEWALKS:

BLOCKING THE SIDEWALK TO FORCE A HANDOUT. WHEN I'M WALKING IN PUBLIC: EVERYTIME I STOP TO DO ANYTHING SOME BUM IS SPYING ON ME, WATCHING ME, STALKING MY EVERY MOVE AND SIZING ME UP AS A PERSON THAT WOULD GIVE A HANDOUT. I'M A KIND PERSON AND I HAVE A KIND FACE, THIS IS WHY I LOOK LIKE A GOOD VICTIM FOR THE SCAM. I KNOW I HAVE TO KEEP WALKING FAST TO BE LEFT ALONE, THE MOMENT I STOP, I'M ACCOSTED. I RESENT BEING FORCED TO LOOK MEAN JUST TO DEFEND MY RIGHT TO PRIVACY

PARKS:

I F I TRY TO SIT ON THE GRASS IN THE PARK TO EACH LUNCH, WITHIN 5 MINUTES SOME TATTERED BUM IS HOVERING OVER MY FOOD BEGGING.

THEY BEG FOR FOOD AT BBQ'S AND EVEN SNEAK INTO OUTDOOR PARTIES PRETENDING TO BE INVITED..

POST OFFICES:

PANHANDLERS BEG IN FRONT OF THE P.O. BECAUSE OF THE HIGH TRAFFIC.

I HAD MY HANDBAG GRABBED BY A BUM, WE HAD A TUG-OF-WAR FOR A FEW SECONDS. I WON.

CONVENIENCE STORES:

BETTER THAN POST OFFICES BECAUSE THEY HAVE HIGH TRAFFIC AND ALCOHOL. I ONCE STOOD BEHIND A WHEELCHAIR BOUND BUM IN FRONT OF 7-11 CONVENIENCE STORE HE WAS TELLING ANOTHER BUM, THAT HE MADE EIGHT DOLLARS AN HOUR. HE ADDED THAT IF HE BROUGHT HIS CHILDREN, HE COULD MAKE MUCH MORE. WAS HE REALLY WHEELCHAIR BOUND? SAN FRANCISO REPORTS THAT UPWARDS OF FOURTY THOUSAND A YEAR CAN BE MADE PANHANDLING ALL DAY. THIS EXPLAINS THE ABILITY TO BUY ALCOHOL, DRUGS, CIGARETTES (VERY EXPENSIVE) AND FOOD FOR DECADES.

GROCERY STORES:

A HIGH TRAFFIC AREA AND PEOPLE OFTEN HAVE CHANGE. I WAS TRYING TO ENTER A STORE IN EAST HOLLYWOOD, WHEN FLYING CHUNKS OF STUCCO FROM A PILLAR HIT ME AND MY MOTHER IN THE HEAD AND FACE. AFTER LOOKING UP TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON , IT WAS A CRAZED BUM WITH A HEAVY CHAIN , HE WAS VIOLENTLY SWINGING IT ABOVE HIS HEAD AND BREAKING APART THE PILLARS SUPPORTING THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING. HE COULD HAVE KILLED SOMEONE.

ONCE ON A GROCERY STORE PARKING LOT, I GAVE A BUM A QUARTER. HE TOOK THE QUARTER AND THEW IT TO THE GROUND SAYING "WHAT THE F**K CAN I BUY WITH THIS". HIS VERBAL ATTACK CAUSED MY FRIEND TO BECOME VERY ANGRY. IT ALMOST ERUPTED INTO VIOLENCE. I BEGGED HIM NOT TO FIGHT WITH HIM, MAINLY BECAUSE THE GUY WAS SO ENCRUSTED WITH FILTH IT WOULD BE LIKE WRESTLING A NEW YORK GARBAGE TRUCK. ON THAT SAME LOT A FEW WEEKS LATER A BUM ASKED ME FOR MONEY AND I IGNORED HIM, HE CALLED ME A RACIAL SLUR. THE LAST TIME I WAS ON THAT LOT A FEW MONTHS LATER, I IGNORED A BUM AND I WAS CALLED A b***h.

ATM MACHINES AND BANKS:

BOTH ARE HIGH TRAFFIC AREAS AND YOU CAN'T SAY YOU DON'T HAVE MONEY.

PUBLIC SPACES:

NEW YORK HAS SOME BEAUTIFUL ATRIUM, WATERFALL, FOUNTAIN AND PLANT FILLED BUILDINGS. THESE HAVE BEEN COLONIZED BY BUMS. SINCE THEY SLEEP ON AND SOIL ALL OF THE BENCHES, I DON'T WANT TO SIT DOWN, THEY ALSO INTIMIDATE YOU IF YOU TRY TO SIT ANYWHERE NEAR THEM. THE PURPOSE OF THESE PUBLIC SPACES WAS SO TAX PAYING PEOPLE COULD REST, RELAX AND EAT BETWEEN SHOPPING TRIPS.

GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS:

HIGH TRAFFIC AREAS AREGREAT FOR BEGGING. I HAD TO VISIT DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES WITH MY FRIEND, HE NEEDED A BIRTH CERTIFICATE THAT DAY FOR A NEW JOB. THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE WAS OBTAINED IN 15 MINUTES BUT ON OUR WAY BACK WE SAW 2 BUMS UNDER A CARDBOARD BOX HAVING SEX ECK... WHEN WE NEARED OUR VEHICLE A BUM GRABBED MY ANKLE AND BEGAN BEGGING FOR MONEY. I HAD TO DRAG HIM DOWN THE STREET. ONCE WE REACHED THE VEHICLE MY FRIEND DISCOVERED HIS WORK VAN WAS BROKEN INTO AND ALL OF HIS WORK TOOLS STOLEN. NEEDLESS TO SAY HE COULD NOT GET THE JOB.

MUSEUMS:

THESE HIGH TRAFFIC AREAS ARE GREAT FOR BEGGING. THANKFULLY, I HAVE NOT SEEN THEM SLEEPING UNDER A VAN GOGH.

AMUSEMENT PARKS:

THEY TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE HIGH TRAFFIC AND TOURIST ARE USUALLY IN A GOOD MOOD.

LIBRARIES:

IN CALIFORNIA THE LIBRARY BECAME INFESTED WITH LITERATE LOSERS. THE LIBRARY ALLOWED AT LEAST 30-40 BUMS AT A TIME TO SIT AND SOMETIMES URINATE OR WORST, IN THE SEATS. THE STENCH BECAME UNBEARABLE. AFTER MY RESEACH, I FOUND THAT EVERY MAJOR CITY HAS HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THE LIBRARIES AND BATHROOMS WITHIN THEM BEING USED BY HOMELESS TO DEFECATE, URINATE AND ABUSE DRUGS. WHEN THEY ARE ASKED TO LEAVE, THEY SUE. ONE MAN WAS AWARDED 230,000 IN NEW JERSEY AND THEN THE SAME MAN WON 150,000 FOR BEING KICKED OFF OF THE SUBWAY. ANOTHER MAN WON 80,000 FOR BEING ASKED TO LEAVE THE LIBRARY. I'M SURE THERE ARE MORE LAWSUITS I'VE MISSED AND MORE ON THE WAY. MY RIGHTS AGAIN WERE VIOLATED. UNLESS I LEARN TO HOLD MY BREATH FOR 2 HOURS I CAN NOT VISIT THE LIBRARY. THE LIBRARIANS ARE POWERLESS. DO YOU WANT BOOKS THAT HAVE BEEN CHECKED OUT BY THESE PEOPLE, STUFFED INTO FECES SMEARED, URINE STAINED DUFFEL BAGS, BACKPACKS AND FILTHY SHOPPING CARTS?

SOCIAL SERVICES OFFICES:

ITS NO ACCIDENT THAT CALIFORNIA HAS BEEN RUINED BY THE HOMELESS.THEY ARE THERE FOR THE WEATHER AND HIGHER WELFARE PAYOUTS. THEY LIVE NEAR HEAVILY POPULATED, POPULAR AREAS WHERE TOURIST CAN KEEP FEEDING THEIR HABITS. IF THEY WERE REALLY MENTALLY ILL THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO NEGOTIATE A LIFE ON THE STREET. OBVIOUSLY THEY MAKE ENOUGH MONEY BETWEEN WELFARE, CRIME AND BEGGING TO KEEP LIVING YEAR AFTER YEAR OFF OF THE STREETS LIKE PARASITES.

HOSPITALS: 

STATE AND COUNTY MEDICAL FACILITIES ARE BEGINNING TO LOOK POST-APOCALYPTIC. HUGE POPLATIONS OF CHRONIC HOMELESS FILL THE HOSPITALS. SOME PRETEND TO NEED TREATMENT KNOWING THERE WILL BE A LONG WAIT. MOST HAVE SERIOUS CONDITIONS SUCH AS: HIV/AIDS, LIVER DISEASE FROM ALCOHOLISM, TUBERCULOSIS, CARDIO-RESPIRATORY DISEASES, NUTRITIONAL DEFICIENCIES FROM EATING THE WRONG FOODS AND DRUG DEPENDENCIES, JUST TO NAME A FEW

CARS:

ON CERTAIN STREETS, I CAN BE TRAPPED BY SQUEEGY WIELDING BUMS INSISTING ON GRABBING MY WINDSHILED WIPERS AND SPRAYING MY WINDOW. WITH A BUM IN FRONT OF MY CAR AND A WET WINDSHIELD, ITS A BIT HARD TO DRIVE.

GAS STATIONS:

SINCE SOME STATIONS DONT OFFER FULL SERVICE, GUESS WHO HAS JUST HIRED THEMSELVES TO PUMP YOUR GAS AND WIPE YOUR WINDOWS?  

LAUNDRY MATS:

ONCE YOU FIND OUT THE TABLE YOURE FOLDING YOUR CLOTHES ON WAS A BUM BED AND THAT THEY POSSIBLY PUT THEIR LICE INFESTED CLOTHES IN THE WASHERS AND DRYERS, THERE IS NO WAY YOUR CLOTHES CAN EVER BE CLEAN.

PUBLIC RESROOMS:

RESTROOMS ARE ALREADY SUSPECT BUT MUCH WORST WHEN PEOPLE ARE DOING DRUGS AND WASHING UP IN THE SINKS.

STORES:

ANY STORE AT ANY TIME CAN HAVE A DRUNKEN BUM PARKED ON THE STEPS. SOME PEOPLE JUST STEP OVER THEM, I PREFER TO SHOP AT STORES THAT AGGRESSIVELY REMOVE THEM. I KNOW MERCHANTS ARE LOSING BUSINESS AND DON'T WANT THEM THERE. I BELIEVE THEY'RE FRIGHTENED. WHY ELSE WOULD THEY TOLERATE IT.?

PUBLIC FOUNTAINS: 

THER ARE MANY REPORTED CASES OF FOUNTAINS BEING USED TO DEFECATE, URINATE AND BATH IN. THE OFFICIALS HAVE TO FENCE AND LOCK THE FOUNTAIN AREAS TO KEEP THE BUMS OUT.

HOTEL LOBBIES:

I'VE SEEN BUMS TRYING TO PRETEND THEY'RE GUESTS, BUT FORTUNATLY IT HASENT TAKEN LONG FOR THE DESK PERSON TO SMELL THAT THEY'RE NOT CUSTOMERS.

COFFEE SHOPS: 

STARBUCKS, THEY LOVE IT. AFTER BEGGING CUSTOMERS UNTIL THEY HAVE PLENTY TO BUY THEMSELVES A CAFE LATTE, THEY GO IN THE BATHROOM AND STAY FOR AN HOUR. THIS HAPPENED TO ME IN NEW YORK. THE LINE WAS OUT OF THE DOOR WHEN WE ARRIVED. THE MANAGER SAID THAT A BUM HAD BEEN IN THERE AN HOUR. SHE HAD TO CALL THE POLICE. 

CHURCHES MISSIONS AND FREE EVENTS:

LOITERING AROUND FEEDING HOLES LIKE MISSIONS, CHURCHES AND PUBLIC EVENTS OFFERING FREE FOOD. THE WORD ON THE STREET IS FASTER THAN A CELL PHONE WHEN IT COMES TO KNOWING WHERE THE FREEBIES ARE.

A CHURCH IN FLORIDA HAD A DILEMMA. THE CHURCH AND SOME PRIVATE MEMBERS GAVE FOOD TO HELP THE HOMELESS IN THE NEARBY PARK, OF COURSE THAT MADE THE BUMS THINK IF THEY WENT IN THE CHURCH THERE WOULD BE MORE FREEBIES. THE CHURCH HAS A PRESCHOOL AND WANTS TO KEEP IT SAFE, THE QUESTION IS:HOW CAN THEY LET THESE FOUL SMELLING PEOPLE WITH DUBIOUS BACKGROUNDS ENTER THE CHURCH AND "WORSHIP" NEAR NORMAL PARISHONERS AND THEIR CHILDREN. IF THE CHURCH IS OPEN TO EVERYONE, SOON EVRYONE WILL BE ONLY THE BUMS AND SINCE THEY ONLY TAKE, THE CHURCH WOULD NOT GET THE DONATIONS IT NEEDS TO KEEP OPERATING. THE CHURCH HAS HAD TO POST NO TRESPASSING SIGNS.

IN SAN DIEGO THEY HAVE ALREADY BEGUN RUINING THE NEWLY REJUVENATED LITTLE ITALY BY PLACING A BUM HANGOUT CALLED THE SAN DIEGO RESCUE MISSION NEAR SCHOOLS AND RESIDENTAL NEIGHBORHOODS. THERE HAVE BEEN COMPLAINTS ABOUT BUMS HANGING AROUND THE SCHOOL. AS USUAL THE POWERS THAT BE, OVERIDE THE LOCAL COMMUNITY NEEDS IN FAVOR OF ACCOMMODATING PEOPLE THAT DON'T CONTRIBUTE ANYTHING. THE MISSION COULD CARE LESS  ABOUT THE IMPACT OF THE PEOPLE THEYRE DRAGGING INTO THE AREA AND OF COURSE DENY THERE IS A PROBLEM. IT'S NOT A VERY CHRISTIAN ATTITUDE TO MAKE A COMMUNITY UNSAFE TO TRY TO HELP PEOPLE THAT HAVE NEVER BEEN HELPED AND NEVER WILL BE. THERE HAVE BEEN COUNTLESS ORGANIZATIONS THAT HELP THE HOMELESS TO REMAIN HOMELESS INDEFINITELY.

BRIDGES OVERPASSES:

MANY BRIDGES AND ROADS ACROSS THE COUNTRY HAVE BEEN SET ON FIRE.

ONE CASE IN IN NEW HAMPSHIRE BUMS TRYING TO LIVE UNDER THE BRIDGES, BURNED FIRES ALL NIGHT AND SENT THE BRIDGE UP IN FLAMES.

PRIVATE HOMES, CONDOS AND APARTMENT BUILDINGS:

THE POLICE ARE CONSTANTLY BEING CALLED TO SWEEP THE BUMS FROM IN FRONT OF RESIDENCES. IN SUTTON PLACE, IN NEW YORK A BUM SITS ON THE STEPS OF ONE OF THE MOST EXPENSIVE BUILDINGS AROUND, HE SAYS HE DOES NOT WANT HOUSING HE JUST WANTS TO BE FREE, GET HANDOUTS AND A PLACE TO SIT ALL DAY. THIS IS NOT THE WAY PEOPLE LIVE IN A CIVILIZED COMMUNITY.

I ONCE LIVED IN A HOUSE WITH A LARGE TRASH DUMPSTER. I WAS AWAKENED EVERY MORNING AT 4AM BY A CAN CRUNCHING BUM. THIS PERSON TRESPASSED ON PRIVATE PROPERTY, CRUNCHED EACH CAN UNDER MY WINDOW AND DISTURBED MY SLEEP EVERY DAY I LIVED THERE. CALLING THE POLICE WAS WORTHLESS BECAUSE BY THE TIME THEY CAME THE VAGRANT WAS GONE.

THE WOODS:

HOMELESS "CAMPERS"INFEST THE WOODS MAKING FAMILY OUTINGS DANGEROUS. ONE OF MY FRIENDS RETURNED FROM A CAMPING TRIP AND TOLD ME HE WAS 100% SURE HE WOULD HAVE BEEN MURDERED IF HE DID NOT HAVE HIS DOG. A HOMELESS MAN APPROACHED HIM IN HIS TENT, ASKING FOR MONEY. HE SAID HE DID NOT HAVE ANYTHING. THE MAN STARTED ASKING IF HE WAS ALONE, MY FRIEND LIED AND SAID THAT HE WAS WITH OTHERS, THE MAN LOOKED AROUND AND STARTED OPENING AND CLOSING A POCKET KNIFE. AFTER A FEW TENSE MOMENTS HE WENT AWAY. MY FRIEND DROVE BACK HOME IMMEDIATELY AND HAS NEVER CAMPED AGAIN AFTER DECADES OF UNDISTUBED CAMPING TRIPS.

BENCHES: 

GREAT PLACES FOR BUMS TO LOITER. BUS, TRAIN AND SUBWAY BENCHES ARE NOW BUM BEDS. WE CAN'T SIT WHILE WAITING FOR PUBLIC TRANSPORTAION. EITHER BECAUSE THEY'RE SLEEPING OR SITTING ON THE BENCH OR BECAUSE IT'S SOILED FROM WHEN THEY SAT OR SLEPT ON IT.

PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION:

TRAIN AND BUS STATIONS: IN MY OPINION THEY SOIL ALL OF THE SEATS. IF YOU SEE ONE SITTING OR LYING IN ONE SEAT, THERE'S A 100% CHANCE THAT ANOTHER ONE HAS SAT ON THE SEAT YOU'RE PLANNING TO SIT ON.

SUBWAY CARS:

ON THE NEW YORK SUBWAY YOU CAN SUDDENLY FIND YOURSELF HELD CAPTIVE BY A RANTING HOMELESS GUY OFFERING FOOD AND DRINKS, DONATIONS ACCEPTED, OF COURSE. THEY OOZE THROUGH EACH SUBWAY CAR DEMANDING ATTENTION BY SHOUTING AND FLAILING THEIR FOUL SMELLING ARMS. YES, THATS EXACTLY WHAT I WANT FOR LUNCH, VAGRANT VITTLES IN A DIRTY BAG FROM A MALODOROUS MISFIT. 

ON THE SUBWAY IN NEW YORK A MAN WAS DIGGING IN HIS BUTT, REMOVING PIECES OF FECES AND SMELLING HIS FINGERS. THE DINGY DELELECT STARTED HEADING TOWARD ANOTHER PASSENGER ON THE TRAIN, ATTEMPTING TO TOUCH HIM. THE PASSENGER STOOD UP PULLED OUT A GUN AND PROMISED TO SHOOT HIM IF HE TOUCHED HIM OR DUG IN HIS BUTT AGAIN. THE BUM REPLIED IN A MOST INDIGNANT MANNER HE HAD RIGHTS .THE PASSENGER COULD HAVE KILLED HIM AND INJURED OTHER PEOPLE, THESE PEOPLE ARE PROVOKING VIOLENCE FROM EVERYONE. MY FRIEND HAS TWICE SPOTTED THE SAME BUM, IN THE SAME CONDITION ALMOST 5 YEARS LATER, DEPLORABLE. HE IS STILL RIDING NEW YORK SUBWAYS SMEARING FECES ON STAIRWAY RAILINGS. PERHAPS HE WAS ON YOUR SEAT. THIS SAME BEHAVIOR HAS BEEN REPORTED IN EVERY MAJOR CITY AND BEYOND.

VACATION SPOTS: 

WE CAN'T EVEN GET A VACATION FROM THEM. 

TOURIST AREAS USUALLY HAVE HIGH TRAFFIC. PEOPLE ARE RELAXED AND IN A GOOD MOOD.

MANY LOVELY BEACHES AROUND THE WORLD HAVE BECOME BUM HAVENS. BEGGING, AND BOTHERING PEOPLE AS THEY TRY TO ENJOY THEMSELVES. I WAS LAYING IN THE SUN ALONE, READING A BOOK, ALL OF A SUDDEN A SHADOW WAS CAST, AS A TALL YOUNG MAN STARTED ASKING ME ABOUT GOD. I SAID NO THANKS, INSTEAD OF LEAVING, HE WAS JOINED BY HIS GIRLFRIEND WHO HELPED IN THE CAMPAIGN TO CONVERT ME. THEY WERE BOTH DRUNK AND DIRTY. I STARTED GATHERING MY THINGS WHEN A STRANGER COME OVER TO DEFEND ME, HE GOT INTO A VERY VIOLENT ARGUMENT WITH THE COUPLE. I QUIETLY SLIPPED AWAY, UNABLE TO ENJOY THE BEACH IN PEACE.

BEGGING STYLES 

THE CARD BOARD SIGNS STATING WILL WORK FOR FOOD ETC. ARE USED TO OBTAIN MONEY, FOOD AND WORK. HIRE AT YOUR OWN RISK. YOU MAY NOT SURVIVE HIS EMPLOYMENT.

HIGHWAYMEN HOLD SIGNS ASKING FOR TRANSPORTATION, JOBS, FOOD AND MONEY. BEWARE: PICKING UP HITCHHIKERS OR PULLING YOUR CAR OFF THE ROAD TO DONATE IS DANGEROUS TO YOUR HEALTH.

THE CAN BASHER CAUSES A COMMOTION TO GET ATTENTION. THIS ONE SCREAMS FOR CASH AND BANGS A CAN WHILE SITTING ON THE SIDEWALK. 

THE QUIET DIGNITY STYLE TRIES TO MAKE SAD EYE CONTACT WITH NO VERBAL BEGGING. 

ANGRY AND IN YOUR FACE IN THIS APPROACH THEY INSIST ON EYE CONTACT, MONEY IS REQUESTED AND ANY REFUSALS RESULT IN VERBAL ABUSE.

LE MISERABLES : THIS STYLE USES THE GOOD PERSON HAVING A RUN OF BAD LUCK  ROUTINE. AFTER A REFUSAL THEY USUALLY SAY THANKS OR GOD BLESS YOU. GUILT GUILT GUILT....

THE MUTE USES A SIGN LANGUAGE CARD TO SILENTLY BEG.

THE PEST ANNOYS YOU WHEN YOUR OBVIOUSLY BUSY, SO YOULL QUICKLY PAY THEM TO GO AWAY.

WAR TORN TRAMP: 40ISH AND ABLE-BODIED, HE USES A WHEEL CHAIR AND OR THE VIETNAM VET SCAM: 

THE HOLIDAY ABUSERS APPEAR DURING CHRISTMAS AND THANKSGIVING WITH A CLANGING BELL AND A CAN. 

THE POOR LADYUSES KIDS AND EXCUSES TO EXTRACT FUNDS. NEVER WANTS FOOD. 

THE STARVING ARTIST INSISTS ON ENTERTAINING US WITH SUB-PAR PERFORMANCES IN THE STREETS.

THE CLOWN DRESSES UP IN A CRAZY OUTFIT OR ACTS BIZARRE TO GET ATTENTION AND OF COURSE MONEY. 

THE SUBWAY CRAWLER USES MAXIMUM PITY. IN THIS APPROACH, HE SLOWLY CRAWLS ON HIS KNEES, HANDS CLASPED AS IN PRAYER, APOLIGETICALLY ASKING FOR ANY PITANCE OF MERCY FOR HIS WRETCHED CONDITION.

SQUEEGY MAN AND KIDS FORCE THEIR WINDSHIELD WASHING SERVICE ON YOU WHEN YOURE STOPPED IN TRAFFIC. THE WINDSHIELD USUALLY ENDS UP DIRTIER.

THE DRUNKEN BUM STUMBLES TOWARD YOU HOPING YOULL BELIEVE HES JUST POOR.

PLACES WITH BIG PROBLEMS:

VEGAS:IVE SEEN BUMS IN LAS VEGAS BEING MOVED AWAY BY THE POLICE. THIS GAVE LAS VEGAS THE MEANEST CITY AWARD, WHY? BECAUSE THEY WANT TOURISTS TO FEEL SAFE WHILE VACATIONING.

HAWAII: PARKS ARE FILLED WITH SLEEPING BUMS AND THE CARIBBEAN ISLANDS BUMS,BUMS, BUMS AND THEY WILL STAB YOU IF YOU GET CAUGHT IN A CONFRONTATION.

OHIO: BUMS ARE OPENLY LIVING IN THE TRAIN AND BUS STATIONS.

ATLANTA, GEORGIA WAS ON THE RISE, ITS SO SAD THAT WITH THE RELOCATION OF DECENT PEOPLE, STARTING BUSINESSES AND TRANSFERRING TO NEW COMPANIES, CAME THE RISE OF THE HOMELESS OPPORTUNIST FOLLOWING THEM TO YET ANOTHER WARM, CLEAN CITY. NOW IT HAS A NOTICEABLE, HIGHLY VISIBLE AND VIOLENT HOMELESS PROBLEM.

PHILADELPHIA: DEFECATION AND URINATION IN THE PUBLIC FOUNTAINS. THE FOUNTAINS HAD TO BE FENCED OFF.

CHICAGO: WOW WHAT A DISASTER.

LOS ANGELES: ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK, TRYING TO CLEAN UP SKID ROW AFTER MORE THAN 50 YEARS

HOLLYWOOD: EVERY KIND OF HUMAN PROBLEM IMAGINABLE

SAN FRANCISO: LOST CAUSE

WASHINGTON: GRUNGE IS NOT JUST A STYLE IT'S A LIFE CHOICE.

OREGON: VERY MUCH LIKE WASHINGTON STATE

WASHINGTON D.C. :ANOTHER HUGE PROBLEM

FLORIDA: ATTRACTS BUMS BECAUSE OF THE GOOD WEATHER AND LARGE POPULATION.

TORONTO:PUBLIC DEFECATION HAS BECOME A BIG PROBLEM

DENVER: HOMELESS VIOLENCE AGAINST CITIZENS REPUTED TO BE UNSAFE FOR WOMEN.

FRANCE:WHILE VISITING THE FRENCH RIVIERA NICE, FRANCE WE SAW THE SAME BAG WOMAN PRETENDING TO BE A SUNBATHER. 

MONACO:THE ONLY PLACE I'VE BEEN THAT DOES NOT ENGENDER ABHORRENT BEHAVIOR IS MONACO. IT'S LOCATED BETWEEN ITALY AND THE SOUTH OF FRANCE. IT'S THE ONLY REALLY CLEAN CITY I'VE SEEN. SHOULD I HAVE TO LEAVE MY OWN COUNTRY TO GET SOME PEACE? MAYBE.

NOT ONLY DON'T THEY CONTRIBUTE THEY.....

1. THREATEN OUR LIVES BY ENCOURAGING AND COMMITING CRIME,DRAWING VERMIN BY LITTERING,SPREADING DISEASE (TB IS RAMPANT,LICE ETC) INCREASE SERIAL KILLER ACTIVITY, VIOLENT YOUTHS FEEL IT'S A PUBLIC SERVICE TO KILL THEM.

2. CLOG UP THE SHELTERS BLOCKING PEOPLE THAT REALLY NEED HELP.

3. CLOG UP HOSPITALS WITH THEIR VARIOUS DRUNK AND DRUG PROBLEMS

4. CLOG UP THE SOCIAL SERVICES, ASKING FOR FOOD STAMPS AND LOW INCOME SECTION 8 HOUSING THAT SHOULD BE AVAILABLE FOR DECENT POOR PEOPLE.

5. CLOG UP AND ABUSE SHELTERS, MISSIONS AND OTHER SO CALLED HELPFUL INSTITUTIONS.

6. LOWER PROPERTY VALUES

7. COST BUSINESSES MILLIONS WHEN CUSTOMERS AVOID LOITERERS

8. CLOG UP THE COURT SYSTEM BY SUING WHEN WE COMPLAIN.

9. CLOG UP THE COURT SYSTEM WITH REPEATED OFFENSES.OFFICIALS HAVE STARTED HOMELESS COURTS TO EASE THE BURDON ON THE COURT SYSTEM.

10. DISTRACT THE POLICE. LAW ENFORCEMENT SHOULD BE DEALING SERIOUS MATTERS. NOT BREAKING UP BUM FIGHTS.

11. SQUAT AT MANY PUBLIC AND PRIVATE BUILDINGS  ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND AROUND THE WORLD.

12. BOTHER PEOPLE AND RUIN OUR QUALITY OF LIFE.

13. LOWER THE VALUE OF HUMAN LIFE.

THE LOGICAL ANSWERS:

1. ENFORCE TO THE MAX THE EXISTING LAWS AND OUTLAW HANDOUTS, BEGGING, BOTHERING PEOPLE, MISSIONS, DETOX, BUM HOTELS AND ALL OTHER BUM RELATED INSTITUTIONS. ALL PUBLIC SERVICES FOR DRUNKS AND DRUG ADDICTS SHOULD BE STOPPED. THIS WILL FORCE THEM TO CHANGE. IT'S THEM OR US.

"TOUGH LOVE" IT WORKED IN CITIES THAT HAVE THE STRENGTH TO DO IT. NO ONE DIES WHEN THESE SERVICES ARE CUT OFF. A FEW YEARS AFTER WORKING, PEOPLE ADMIT IT WAS BETTER TO BE FORCED TO WORK THEY GAIN SELF RESPECT AND SAVE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO THEIR COMMUNITIES. CUT THEM OFF!

2. SINCE THEY CAN NOT AFFORD TO LIVE IN THE EXPENSIVE CITIES THEY HAVE DECIDED TO SQUAT IN AND ARE NOT ABLE TO BE EMPLOYED DUE TO APPEARANCE, BODY ODOR AND BEHAVIOR AND HAVE NO FAMILY TIES, RELOCATE THEM. IN THE REAL WORLD, WHEN A CITY BECOMES TOO EXPENSIVE THE PEOPLE MOVE TO LESS EXPENSIVE LOCATIONS. RELOCATE THEM TO FARMS TO WORK FOR FOOD, SHELTER AND EDUCATION. NOT MONEY!! . GIVING MONEY TO THE HOMELESS IS LIKE GIVING MONEY TO AN INFANT. IT IS NOT A RESPONSIBLE SOLUTION. IF THEY CAN PICK CANS OUT OF THE TRASH, THEY CAN PICK PRODUCE. EDUCATION WILL OFFER A WAY OFF THE FARM. I BELIEVE THIS IS A REASONABLE SOLUTION.

HOW YOU CAN HELP:

USE CAUTION WHEN DEALING WITH STRANGERS REGARDLESS OF THEIR APPEARANCE.

TOURIST, PLEASE STOP GIVING MONEY, WE HAVE TO LIVE HERE.

LOCALS DONT GIVE MONEY TO ANY HOMELESS PERSON OR HOMELESS OPPOSE FOOD HANDOUTS SHELTERS, CHURCH PROGRAMS, DETOX CLINICS, HALFWAY HOUSES AND MISSIONS THEY DON'T WORK OPPOSE THEY BREED CRIME AND BECOME AN INSTANT GHETTO

GIVE YOUR SYMPATHY AND CHARITY FOR PEOPLE WITH REAL ISSUES LIKE CANCER, CHRONIC DISEASE DISABILITIES, AND DISASTER VICTIMS.

 I AM A SEVENTH GENERATION AMERICAN, I AM A WOMAN. I GIVE TO CHARITIES. I HAVE VOLUNTEERED IN HOMELESS SHELTERS. I USE TO SPEAK ONE ON ONE TO THE HOMELESS ABOUT THEIR SITUATION. I WAS RAISED TO TREAT PEOPLE EQUALLY. IM TRADITIONALLY A DEMOCRAT BUT I AM NOW INCREASINGLY WILLING TO SUPPORT ONLY CANDIDATES THAT ARE AGAINST THE PROGRAMS THAT SUPPORT AND SUSTAIN HOMELESS CHARITIES. IN CASE YOUR WONDERING WHERE IVE LIVED TO HAVE RECEIVED SUCH ABUSE, THE ANSWER IS, IN MAJOR CITIES SUCH AS CALIFORNIA AND NEW YORK. I HAVE NEVER LIVED IN A GHETTO. I HAVE LIVED IN EXTREMELY OVER PRICED CONDOS, HOUSES AND APARTMENTS. ALL LOCATED IN EXCLUSIVE AND EVEN GATED AREAS . I THOUGHT THIS WOULD PROTECT ME. BUMS DONT LIKE POOR NEIGHBORHOODS EITHER AND EVEN IF YOUR AREA IS SECURE OR GATED, THEY CAN STILL BOTHER YOU WHEN LEAVE YOUR HOME.

IM NOT A WRITER, SOCIOLOGIST, SCHOLAR, PHYSICIAN OR LAWMAKER. IM JUST A CONCERNED INDIVIDUAL THAT UNFORTUNATELY HAS TO LIVE IN AN ERA THAT ALLOWS DANGEROUS, DESPERATE, MISFITS TO ROAM FREE UNDER THE GUISE OF POVERTY. 

I AM INTERESTED IN JOINING, VOLUNTEERING OR CONTRIBUTING TO ANY ORGANIZATIONS THAT OPPOSE THE SUPPORT OF CHRONIC SUBSTANCE ABUSERS AND CHRONIC HOMELESSNESS.

I AM INTERESTED IN RUNNING THIS INFORMATION AS A FULL PAGE AD IN ANY MAJOR NEWSPAPER 

WELCOME TO OUR CITY. DON'T FEED THE ANIMALS. KEEP YOUR CHANGE IN YOUR POCKET ...AS YOU CAN SEE GIVING HURTS.
