“Mentally ill” is a euphemism. It’s drug induced permanent brain damage.
Some are indeed mentally ill
All have substance abuse issues
Not sure which is most prevalent
Booze
Meth
Heroin
Or all three....this is what the homeless are
Some crazy
Most are drug and booze addicts who choose to camp out and stay high
And churches and leftist groups enable them
I deal with this a lot unfortunately
Politicians won’t do squat
Agreed re the brain damage.
I walk by these human zombies often and interact with them occasionally. It is so depressing.
I often wonder how many had mental issues and then turned to drugs... and how many just enjoyed drugs until brain damage set in...
I guess it’s impossible to know. You can’t believe what they say even if they told you.
