New Orleans - Interview with a Homeless Man under I-10

[genenco1]

That first part where he's talking about that they get no respect. Well, you gotta give it to get it. I laugh when people like this think they "Deserve" respect, but have done NOTHING to get it.

Had he been working 3-8 hours a day even at min wage, I'd be damn respectful. But is he? Don't look like it.

[Neverfearericshere]

for a homeless guy, he has pretty nice teeth, i guess he has enough cans around the area to pay for his tooth brush =)

[YourImamGoes2College]

Did anyone ever follow up on him?

[rocketlauncher2]

Homeless shelters aren't so good either. You see people putting things up like old TVs or couches on the street. Give them to the homeless. Rather than putting your stuff up for free on craigslist, give it to the homeless.

Access to jobs listings whether it be online or newspapers could also help. Take a financing class before shit gets serious (which should be mandatory in schools for gods sake)

[warrenbattistejazz]

I live in New Orleans and let me tell you there are many programs to help these people. Most of these under the bridge people are dope heads and would not work in a pie factory.

@warrenbattistejazz - shut up stupid

[sold1million]

fix the audio dude

[LutherBIissett]

That homeless guy is far more articulate than plenty of employed people. Intelligence is more of a curse than a friend I think, unless you have the right family or connections in life.

[meno506]

thank you !

[ccfan81]

I definately agree with this.

[Jensen8745]

These people were offered government apartments, they didnt take the opportunity. The reason they didnt take that is because they had curfews, and they couldnt do drugs. Im not saying the dude on here did that im just saying that this is what someone told me, and I believe it.

[ccfan81]

In some cases that's true, and in others it's not.

[druglover200]

its not true for all dude...and i doubt theres that much government apartments..

[zekeandcharlie]

It will get worse before humanity awakens. A good place to start is turning of the TV.

[7514328]

Absolutely

[Crystallovesgolf]

that's my brother in law

[grindfuk585]

tell him to get a job and STFU

[druglover200]

youre mean man...

[johhnyfasnazzy]

its not that easy jackass. why dont you get a job and shut the fuck up.

[musichead22]

I was in complete shock at all of the homeless families that were there,I could not believe the city of New Orleans and the government are letting these people live like this. What are mayor and government doing about this? What happened to all of the money that was donated to help the people of New Orleans? Something has to be done and SOON.People are freezing to death out there and it's a really sad situation. I thought the worst was over but apparently Katrina was just the beginning.
