![Venice Beach--LA homeless population of 15K expected to double over the next four years [634x951 - 166KB]](https://pic8.co/sh/wfVxFi.jpg){kind=link}
I've BEEN homeless. 30% are schizophrenic and hopeless.
The crazy ones are the only ones who truly need help.
I knew homeless for years. Same people same places, every day for years.
I asked a bum. Doesnt it suck to be homeless?
He says
im not homeless im home free. Dont have to wake to alarm, no job to go to.
Then it hit me. I almost felt like a sucker fo playing into the system.
The vast majority of homeless are homeless by choice.
You think someone that lives on the street is sane? 30% are schizo, the rest are fucked-up in other ways. It sure as hell ain't normal. Many are agoraphobic, they can't stand being indoors. Many were in prison, can't take any kind of confinement or rules. Many men were divorce-raped. Some watched their spouse or child die, and lost it. You never know someone's background. It's easy to lump them all together as lazy drunken bums. I used to do the same. I lost my ex-wife to schizophrenia, she became homeless, it was heartbreaking, and not her fault. I have no idea where she is now.
Umm I quote
The crazy ones are the only ones who truly need help.
Ive seen people walking around shitting on themselves, eating rotting food, and laying in filth. Obviously mentally ill, and they need help. A home where they can be cared for.
The vast majority are fucking losers who chose to be homeless. IE buying drugs instead of paying rent is a choice. The vast majority could be culled with no value lost to society. They are normally functioning people who CHOOSE to have a life of no responsibility.
Like I said I worked with homeless for years. My job was to try to get them to take services, like rehab, housing etc. However most didnt want to go,., because you have to be sober. Or I would find them piss drunk laying in the gutter begging to go to rehab. Next week I would find them again in the gutter.
Ill reiterate the mentally ill need help. Having "anxiety" because you have to be an adult isnt metal illness.
