You're right...the system really has no mercy...But Revenge belongs to GOD...and when God works in strange ways...these homeless people will emerge as VICTORS...and I will pray to that end!!! God sees all your tears and struggles...and for those who know...put your treasures in HEAVEN...Earthly possessions will turn to DUST!!!
These videos open our eyes to the blazing reality...I was homeless for a short time while expecting my daughter years ago...I feel very badly for anyone who lost a job or went through a forclosure AND loss of a job...and for police officers to harrass the homeless is a s**tty thing to do!!! Where are the programs to help the homeless?????????????????????????????
Kathy is NOT using drugs if this very narrow minded individual who made the comment stop using drugs would bother listening to a word she says they might realize that HOMELESSNESS IS HELL & not make such a retarded statement.It is nice if the person would acknowledge that they were an idiot for making such an inconsiderate statement.
go get an assurance wireless free phone so you can take calls for jobs they give a free phone and minutes for anyone who asks, the free public library has free internet use and you don't have to have a card, use it for research to take advantage of govt programs that help dont be proud take take take the money the govt has is what the people paid in
Austin Texas isn't a shameful place. Austin is a really cool town, however there are some things that are wrong about it. But there's problems in every city in this country.
Hell Yeah!!! Damn cops think I'm an easy target and try to give me tickets. One cop gave me a ticket for tresspassing when I was sitting in a parking lot without a car (I got out of it because I raised hell in court) I have 2200 resumes out since Nov.2008 and 200 hours in filling out applications. I get clean at least every other day and my cloths are nicer than interviewers. GIVE ME A FUCKING JOB, MAN!!!!!! Hell, Bolder Calls in Boulder CO gave me the chop- I have a PO Box address!
It's so good to hear someone who tells it like it is and doesn't conform to the interviewer's desire to have everyone sound upbeat and optimistic.
It's also good to hear Austin's undeserved reputation as a "liberal" town shot down. The cops in Austin are horrible, and the people are not liberal anymore either. Too much money and trendiness here for it to be a caring town. There are probably more caring people in Dallas and Houston at this point.
@fasho619 Unfortunately, this is very true. No one examines why some of these people are homeless. I have worked with homeless people as well, I even bought a couple a car to get back and forth to work... and it wasn't enough. Sometimes you just have to let some of them be. It's sad. To be real... homeless people in America are kings compared to the homeless in other countries. Besides losing a job, there is no excuse to be homeless.
This is a another reason why so many americans are poor,petty court cases that are to much for the average american to pay,it's the way the court system jams people up and keeps them broke,no job, petty court cases=poverty or homeless very soon.
@aliff216 Will you fuckers get off of blaming Obama for everything and expecting him to fix everything in a day? Most of you cock suckers only hate the guy because people aren't shitting rainbows and spewing happiness. Any/every president, especially after Bush, isn't going to fix everyone's problems instantly.
@rojahi76 GOBAMA, i love the guy in all honesty he should really try harder on this sector of social problems the states is having not that he hasnt ofcourse, fix the problem at home first then deal with the world, once the peoples needs are meet then deal with the world.
@aliff216 Maybe if the US didn't elect George W Bush for a 2nd term we might have been in a better place. What I'm saying is that change isn't going to happen overnight. Especially when you had many before you who have done almost nothing good for the country.
These are real people suffering on real streets. American civilians and military are going hungry and homeless. How on earth can you people sit there with your comments and make a kindergarten recess out of this documentary? We need to talk more about the people we are watching in front of us and how to prevent these things from happening in our own communities, needless to say it's probably is happening now in our communities with the economy heading where it is.
@quentinsparks23 how dare you . i assume you watched this video becaue you have some compassion in you and then you end up being some racist prick. fuck you and the horse you rode on . so easy for you to judge isnt it. racist fucker
She has a criminal history from "soliciting" BECAUSE she is HOMELESS. Not the other way around. Don't get me wrong, there are definatly people out there who are in a bad situation because of choices they have made but for others it is simply a bad sitaution that spiraled out of control and is now very hard to get out of. All I am saying is don't make blanket statement s about people who "belong there" without even listening to the rest of what they are saying.
obviously u did not watch the full interview!! She says later on why most companies don't employ her... i recommend watchin it again to get an answer for ur question! it's really easy to be judgmental, but very hard to put urself in her shoes and do somethin about it!
I fucking hate cops, none of them seem to understand the constitution and they just seem to go through police academy because there sadistic assholes that have a urge to cause misery.
@thedirtynasty yea, i do believe her when she says that if you dont cooperate with them in whatever way they want you to , then they'll do whatever to put you behind bars.To me theyre just bullies with a badge. fuckin pigs >(
Apparently, they are making it illegal to be alive in Austin , TX. Shamefully, there are many other communities that are doing the same thing or worse - like making it illegal to ask for money.
God truly is watching us. It is not illegal to be alive.
The recipe for being homeless is :
have less than $1000 in the bank , lose your job and take longer than a month to find work - a lot of people are very close to having this problem.
She needs to get the hell out of Austin, obviously. Seems like a lot of homeless people in Austin go nowhere because of the lack of help or sympathy from the authorities. The sign thing made me sick. Anytime I drive by someone on the sidewalk holding a sign that says hungry I'll give em a dollar or something to eat if I just happen to have it. What else would that dollar go too? Some unnessasary junk
when will people learn theres 99% of us an 1% of them i think the odds are in our favor
