Sighs....okay. I tried to avoid this thread like the plague because of old wounds that won't heal. The homeless situation is such a double edge sword, it is not even funny. You have so many perspectives and layers of homelessness from broken down families, mentally ill, forgotten veterans, drug addicts, ex-cons, and the list goes on.
Now here's the dilemma. The dude on the train getting his soul taking from him by some privileged military cac is the prime example of what's wrong with this country as well as the world. These broken souls sleeping on the streets and in cold shelters deserve more than just a walk over. These people were once successful. They were fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, businessmen, lawyers, troops, and so forth. Yet, the ills of the world put them in such a dark place. Yes, some of those people put themselves into such a misfortune, but there are countless others that carry the cross of the ones that are on the news. The ones that are pushing Asian folks off of train platforms, laying hands on strangers, and etc.
Those folks are fukking it all the way up for those that desire a second chance. You don't know the issues my family and I had to go through being homeless. Having pastors judging us because we were among drug addicts, ex-cons, pedophiles, and so forth. Having to be on a long ass list to find housing because the ones hogging up the spot are milking the game. Having to plead to fukking caseworkers and so forth to give us something outside the typical.
Hell, the people I knew in the shelters were good honest souls that were trying to kick the demon off their back, but they were put in the barrel with the rest of the stigma that resembles homeless people to the eye of those that felt "obligated" instead of cheerful to help out those that need it the most.
This incident alone bothers the living hell out of me because this man was screaming to the heavens for food. For fukking water. But got treated like a nuisance and for some ultra Chad ass cac to choke him out because why the fukk not.
Sometimes, I truly wish I really had a rocket ship to get off this damn planet. Hell, United States not the only country that treats the homeless like a bunch of dirty laundry....
This is in UK btw
