I knew an (ultra-liberal) nurse who worked with the homeless. He said they had a real go-getter who got government funded apartments and homes for the homeless. They furnished them and provided clothes and all the necessities. The homeless sold the stuff they were given and not one spent a night in the homes or apartments. He said they were mentally ill. (As a psych nurse he got called out to “certify” a homeless man who had nailed his penis to a tree. The cop said, “Well, is he disturbed?” His response? “He’s nailed his frickin’ penis to a tree. He’s not disturbed. He’s crazy.”)
“a homeless man who had nailed his penis to a tree.”
I’ve heard of getting a “woody”, but that’s RIDICULOUS!!! ;)
They sell everything for drug money. That is why I don’t give to the beggars who are out in the wicked cold in my neighborhood. There are plenty of places to get food for free. I would just be enabling a drug habit.
