Description:

TheDowntownDistrict.com presents, "Andre." Do you have a lot of unanswered questions about the Downtown LA homeless? We went out on the streets to get answers from the homeless to see if we can together begin to build a bridge that provides solutions to all involved. What we found was UNBELIEVABLE. It might just be the BEST answer out there. Thank you Andre!

Holy shit this man breaks every stereotype in the book! He doesn't understand why people are so scared, but (being homeless and all) I get the feeling he's not constantly subjected to media scare tactics like the rest of us. The world isn't such a scary place until our we're told over and over and over again that it is. Next thing we know we're macing a stranger for complimenting our girlfriend's dress.

The guy is very correct I think. Many homeless are mentally disturbed and the system to help these people is worthless. My mother is in the same boat. She cannot function in society like most people. If anything the bible thumpers make these people worse. The last thing a person with a mental illness needs is that fairy-tale b.s. Words like god and jesus are dangerous in the mind of a schizophrenic.

If we would all do this, help however we are able whenever we see someone suffering, we can make this world a better place. It has to start with each one of us. Don't just walk by and ignore the misery of others, do what you can. Let's be the vehicle of God's love and not the vessel of Satan's cruelty and destruction.

No one is homeless by choice. Anyone is just a heartbeat away from being homeless. Don't believe me? Get very sick for a month or 2, lose your job, be evicted, and see where you end up!! It can happen to anyone at all. Let's all reach out and help wherever and whenever we see suffering of any kind.

That's the most intelligent homeless guy I've ever seen. How can he be homeless??? He should be a philosopher
