Canversations with homeless people "David talking about getting hit on his bike" (part 1)

Many homeless people ride bikes here in LA, More so on the Westside. It is the only form of transportation they have. However bike riding is very dangerous here in LA. Especially here on the Westside. Many of you know David as the man who befriended me while I was homeless. He showed me how to stay warm at night and where I should sleep. e made sure I was warm when I was sick and make sure I had food to eat when he could provide it. I was so pissed to learn that he was hit by a car that did not stop and then to learn that Santa Monica UCLA Medical Center didnt even make sure he had a place to go after hitting his head. I know this is true to the emergency room at Santa Monica Hospital did me the very same way twice.
