I have a dear friend who used to volunteer his time at a local homeless shelter. He finally had to leave b/c he said there were so many violent, unstable, mentally ill “patrons” that made the shelter very dangerous for not only the denizens of the shelter but staff as well.
He’s in his thirties now, and if he doesn’t change I seriously doubt he’ll make it to 40.
Even though he’s our nephew, we don’t want him around. He’s not welcome in our home.
Liberals like to pretend that the homeless are just like everyone else except for a run of bad luck. All they need is a hand up, a temporary shelter or a job and everything will be peachy keen.
The truth is that most of these folks are homeless because they don’t play well with others. They have alienated family and friends, abused past helpers, and threatened harm to everyone around them. Then they try to stack these folks on top of each other in shelters and wonder why mayhem happens.
