Okay, rhinoceros-ass, you can howl and whine all you want. You ruin every opportunity that comes your way by lying and interfering in the affairs of real people with actual pursuits while doing nothing helpful or constructive. I tried to help with certain objectives, but you were unwilling to take the necessary responsibility involved. Don't act as if you were a victim.....and stop mooching! The reason no one wants to pick you up when you hitchhike and the reason you have so many problems finding lodging is because you're a big, fat, dishonest, ugly mooch.

You should stop telling people you've never taken anything from anyone when your dirty Starbucks cup gets thrown away by whoever cleans up after you've graced a building with your smelly presence. Twenty dollars disappeared from a child's wallet while you were here.

The type of emergency medical care you recently mooched was not the kind you need. While being as fat as a rhinoceros is certainly a physical problem, the kind of perception that causes a fatty such as yourself to eat entire cupboards full of food in one sitting and force children to fight you for a meal, or for shelter, is a much more grave problem. Unfortunately, others with grave problems also do not deserve to be forced to share quarters and resources with you, either. Is that what the volunteer from the shelter told you, before you dissed him on Facebook? Or did he just refuse to comply with some silly-assed demand you made, which would have forced him to displace actual disaster and emergency victims, should he have attempted to enable you?

Police Brutality: Another One Bites The Dust

Antonio Zambrano-Montes was fatally shot by police the other day. He was homeless and mentally ill, and running away from law enforcement when he got shot. No one knows why he threw rocks, or why he threw rocks into passing traffic, as the allegations maintain, but Zambrano-Montes was not advancing toward law enforcement. He was no longer holding any rocks, and did not have a weapon. Since when is it the job of law enforcement to circumvent the court and carry out the death penalty? Did Zambrano-Montes receive this sentence for throwing some rocks, or for being homeless and mentally ill?

Private Message To An Angry Hitchhiker

So someone stole your personal effects while you out scamming anyone who would listen to you in The Dalles? I can see that you are upset, and that you feel that, in addition to The Dalles owing you something, you think things of this nature should never happen to you. Well; maybe they shouldn't happen to anyone. Should twenty dollars have disappeared from my daughter's wallet when you were here? She's still a kid, but you are an adult, so you should have just spent your own cash, instead of stealing from a child. She felt the same way you feel about your missing possessions, only, unlike you, she actually worked for the money that disappeared. Does this dynamic define your association with your family in De Tour Village? No one appreciated hearing that you don't have a family, either, then finding out you have a large family.

Rescue Missions

I have never been a fan of Christian organizations of any kind, but lately, Rescue Missions have stepped up their level of cruelty. There are homeless people whose issues exceed the expertise of the average shelter volunteer, but would the mythical Jesus Icon have split up a family, thrown them out of the shelter, and left two parents and a five year old boy with no place to sleep? Why did they harm a woman in her seventies, making it impossible for her to work or attend classes? Are her pursuits not important to Rescue Missions? If demoralizing and otherwise harming those who happen to be vulnerable for one reason or another is the method of choice to further one's own agenda, consider the information publicized.

You are so right. Parole and probation officers are not losers. If their clients were winners, specifically in court, the parole and probation officers would have to learn new skills in order to put food on their tables. Did you know we won, by the way? You didn't see that coming, did you?

Have you considered the legal pros and cons of perjury, false statements, fraud, welfare fraud, defrauding insurance companies and government agencies, and embezzling? You may want to give those things some thought, because; after all, people who refuse to grow up and live life on life's terms are losers. Shall I forward your mail to De Tour Village?

Of course the people in the town you are sucking dry don't want you to get too comfortable. They really don't owe you lodging and warmth. You have a disability check, and it is your responsibility to spend it on shelter. The population in whichever town from which you are currently sponging has a responsibility to provide a basic infrastructure for it's real people with real lives, not for people who have turned up their noses to responsibility. You don't have a real life because you don't spend your resources on real things, such as shelter. Now, no one wants to shelter you. No one wants to give you Mountain Dew, either. What is left for you to do? Funny you should ask! Here's an idea: take however much you need from your monthly disability check and use it as a deposit on a room or an efficiency. Sign a lease agreement. Move in at your earliest convenience. Then........get a job, so you can pay the rent. See? That's pretty easy. Now go do it, and shut up!


P.S. Not everyone realizes this, but I have walked in your shoes. I was very close to someone else who walked in your shoes, too. What we both found is that it really works out better to take responsibility.

Private Message Public Notice

I am back in Hood River, Oregon and watching both the leaves and the rain fall. Looking forward to Black Friday...yeah, buddy! Anyone else going to buy an important item that day?

The above quote was intercepted from some social media of someone who is homeless by choice and refuses to work or find permanent housing in order to better her situation. Instead, she sponges off of anyone she can, and spends her ninety-some odd dollars a month in food stamps on fast food. It is usually gone within a couple of days. She also thinks she should buy electronic equipment, such as computers, before she secures her own housing. Housing opportunities have, indeed, presented themselves to her over the last couple of years, yet she refuses. The rest of us deal with the pros and cons of various business and personal relationships with others, such as landlord/tenant; while this person will not do that. She opts, instead, to use everyone in her acquaintance. If a smelly, overweight, homeless female hitchhiker pontificates to you about morals, religion, and matters spiritual while using truly vulgar language and entertaining a sense of entitlement that would make a two year old proud, you may have met this person! She knows who she is........and here is my "cryptic" message to her! Here goes:

The only thing you need to buy on Black Friday, or any day, is your own food with your own government assistance; that is, until they find out you are not really looking for a job. And your own housing. You see, lots of shelters probably prioritize people who do not have incomes ahead of people who do. Your dishonestly obtained disability counts as an income, and you do not care for children, so you are LAST! Everywhere you go. Stop taking stuff to which you are not entitled, and maybe that will change.

The assistance you get from Kansas is more than enough to feed one person, if the one person happens to live somewhere with a stove. You have enough money to buy staples, such as beans and rice. You can also buy Mason jars, and preserve your own food. You are also allowed, in some states, to buy seeds with your assistance dollars and grow some of your food. That would involve a level of responsibility which would enable a landlord/tenant relationship, though. When Kansas extended government sponsored charity to you, caseworkers expected you to get a job and find permanent housing. And it IS charity, in your case......you've wolfed down more food than one person, even a Sumo wrestler, would ever claim and you've done it much longer than any state allows. Your habit of hopping from state to state, grabbing resources from other states when the state from which you currently sponge decides to put you on a diet and a job-hunting program, really needs more public attention. Not all homeless people do this, but you are a prime example of why some members of the general public hate the homeless and will not help them.

How do you sleep at night, knowing that every time you sleep on a bad for which your own finances did not pay, a child or an honestly desperate person is sleeping outside? Why do you take food, money, and resources from children, anyway?

Note: Anyone who knows what this post is about should be warned about one thing prior to picking this person up while she hitchhikes. While this did not happen to me, I was naïve enough to open my home to her, and it was my distinct impression that she was "shopping" (there's that Black Friday reference again!) for a place to either fake or stage an injury in order to file a lawsuit and grab some quick cash. When I didn't want to be vulnerable to this and play the game with her, she moved on to richer and less protected individuals. Also, money not only mysteriously disappeared from my wallet, but from my daughter's wallet, while this woman stayed in my home.

 

Derrick Deacon Is Finally Free

Derrick Deacon just got released from prison in New York, after serving almost twenty-five years behind bars for a murder he did not commit. After new testimony and new evidence surfaced, Deacon was granted a new trial. It took a jury all of nine minutes to find Deacon "Not Guilty" with the new evidence. Congratulations to Derrick Deacon for standing up for himself all these years, but why did he get convicted in the first place? It seems that the district attorney's office in Kings county, New York, didn't have the balls to go after a gang member who shot a teenager during a robbery, so police arrested a homeless man, Deacon, instead. A young woman by the name of Colleen Campbell saw the actual killer, and told law enforcement. While she did not know the identity of the actual killer, she knew who Deacon was, and that he did not commit the murder. This should have been sufficient, in the absence of any other evidence, to rule Deacon out. but not so fast......gangs are dangerous and notorious for vengeance, and homeless people do not put up much of a fight when coerced and pushed around, and Kings County needed a conviction, right? A homeless man is much safer to victimize than a gang member, so the prosecutor saw to it that Deacon was arrested and prosecuted for the crime, instead of the guilty party. When Campbell didn't want to convict an innocent man, investigators and prosecutors threatened to have her children removed from her home!

"Deacon's case raises troubling questions about how he was convicted in the first place. The Village Voice reports that Deacon was convicted after investigators coerced a witness named Colleen Campbell, who knew he hadn't commited the crime.

At Deacon's retrial, Campbell said authorities had threatened to take her kids away if she testified that she knew Deacon wasn't the killer, according to the Village Voice. Another witness testified that Deacon did commit the shooting, which was enough to convict him."......Mike Krumboltz, Yahoo News.

Since when does testifying in court, or not testifying in court, or telling the truth, for that matter.....equal child abuse or child neglect? This stunt of threatening the children of witnesses in order to gain untruthful testimony seems to be a prosecutor's ace in the hole, these days! Is this the true role of Child Protective Services, assisting prosecutors in the attainment of wrongful convictions by threatening to hold hostage the children of witnesses? That might help explain why caseloads are bursting at the seams, and why Child Protective Services isn't always available to the child who actually needs them! Taxpayers are forced to pay them to enforce the whims of crooked court officials! Sad, but apparently true.

Twenty-five years of an innocent man's life.

Homeless And Hungry

I saw this on Facebook and liked it, and so shared it here.

I used to work at Subway a couple months ago, but I quit. And what made me quit was one time a homeless man came in to get a sandwich. He asked if the sandwich would be more than $10. One of my coworkers told him no and he carried on. When he got down to the register, he was searching frantically for his money, and with such shame on his face he said he couldn't find it and started to leave. But I called out to him and said I would pay for it. I got my credit card and paid for an entire meal for this man, with no discounts. Completely in full. He thanked me over and over. Then when the next person in line got to the register she told me how nice of thing I did. Now when everyone left I was in the back cleaning and my manager yelled at me. Telling me that if someone can't pay for their food you tell them to leave. I told her that I wasn't going to let him starve. It was 115 degrees outside. He was probably exhausted, dehydrated and very hungry. I was so baffled about the fact that I just got in trouble for helping someone in need. I was being constantly told by owners and supervisors of the company that this was a business about people and making people happy. But I guess the homeless aren't people. So I quit a week later.

 

Topeka Rescue Mission Is Holier Than Thou

The Reverend Barry Feaker, (what a name....I almost typed Very Freaker or Harry Shrieker) of the Topeka Rescue Mission, has decided to make residents sign a code of conduct in order to stay there. This involves stuff people can and can't do, even if they are NOT at the shelter at the time they do or don't do these things. Fine and dandy, I guess, but Topeka, Kansas, and the entire United States already has a code of conduct: it's called.....the law! Ok; the homeless staying at the Topeka Rescue Mission can't loiter anywhere. But what, exactly, is loitering? If a homeless person has to get a prescription filled, and waits at the pharmacy, because pharmacists are not always able to pull medicines out of their anal passages at the drop of hat, and are obliged to double-check the medicines they sell, the homeless person from the rescue mission has to wait, just like everyone else has to wait. Does this mean that Christian Pastor Freaker can interpret or misinterpret the waiting done by the homeless person as loitering, if he goes to the pharmacy, himself, and is in a bad mood or does not like the particular person? What about a hug, exchanged off-site, between a brother and a sister? Does this give Harry Shrieker a reason to shriek? And throw someone out on the street? If the good pastor really likes the person, probably not. But the person who does not "fit in", or conform properly, will probably be thrown out at two or three in the morning.

This does not look much like "raising the bar" to me. It looks like encouraging and enacting ugly biases against people who are too desperate to protest or stand up for themselves. It looks like a bunch of Christians, who run the shelter, using opportunities to bully others, in the guise of helping them, in order to bolster their own egos. Not that a homeless shelter isn't needed in Topeka; it, sure enough, is, but why go to such lengths to make others feel "less than"? For Christ's sake, what would Jesus do? If Jesus was real, that is.......

The rescue mission gets away with this because it is not funded by the government, but by private donations and the United Way. This is the reason I never donate anything to the United Way. CJOnline, the local rag that passes for a newspaper, ran an article about this. Here is one of the comments I wrote:

"Homeless people are required to wear shoes and other clothing, and sometimes, shoes must be shopped for an bought new. Also, they occasionally pick up medications at the pharmacy, go to the library, apply for jobs, buy stamps at the post office, and patronize businesses that sell products for people on restricted diets. Unless, of course, the homeless person is required to never visit a business that deals in such products because it is too close to the shelter, and the homeless person might get accused of loitering because he or she is physically present in the wrong place at the wrong time.
While it's nice for everyone to have something productive to do, this whole nation is experiencing some negative changes, and the homeless are usually the most vulnerable to stereotyping and least able to defend themselves from people who would pick on them just for being homeless. I have serious food allergies. I cannot even touch most grains, and that includes wheat. I shudder to think of what would happen to me if I ended up at a shelter for some reason, especially a Christian shelter. Shucks......I had a Christian minister who started a born-again church near my house in Maryland tell me that if "God" wanted me in heaven, I would not have food allergies! People who are incapable of conformity for innocent reasons have much rougher lives than most, and having to stay in a church based shelter would be miserable. Why pick on them and make it harder? This looks very much to me like Christians looking for a way to be mean, and like a cash strapped shelter looking for ways to reduce it's clientele without anyone having to feel "non-compassionate" or "unkind".

That comment was given several "thumbs downs", so I think it is safe to say that at least a few of CJOnline's readers have their heads contorted into certain parts of their anatomies. Today's economy has had quite a few of all different kinds of casualties; many people are homeless. Shame on the staff at the rescue mission for encouraging others to judge people who do not happen to be as lucky as most Americans.
