I had a man come up to me behind McDonald’s last week and ask me to buy him some food . He shook my hand and his hand felt like ice . He kept saying oh that heat feels good as he leaned near my window . I did buy him dinner and and gave him some cash and then I cried the whole way home .
Please be careful! Not all people on the streets are as kind
Your kindness will get you killed
Be careful
You made a good decision, sister.
I'm about to be homeless for a while, due to life events... and trust me, I can vouch for how much it means when someone helps you and you're down, because I've been there before as well.
@@3nertiahomeless people need to be careful from the non homeless too
Very sad no human deserves to be in the cold …. Not everyone that is homeless does drugs the stigma against the homeless needs to stop
Facts
At least somebody helped him with a smoke...the most important thing to many of homeless people.
God bless you all
I'm so glad to see that homeless encampment is organized and people can live with some semblance of dignity. If you give people a chance they might just surprise you. However some people have mental health issues or addictions etc.
Some, the majority.
Bring em home King!
Wonderful world
Why is it that when Jonathan Choe covers the homeless, he gets censored and cancelled but when king 5 does it, it is ok?
Homeless from all across America making a beeline to Seattle. Crimes gone through the roof where I'm at in Chinatown and it's all homeless people who are responsible. I've got two daughters to protect and I've got tweakers out side trying to break in my apt building on multiple occasions. Thank you Seattle for putting the Navigation center where I live. It's an open air drug market down here. People laying craps in the bus stops and trying not to step on needles. So yeah, thank you Seattle for making it this way.
Welcome to capitalism! Profits over People!
@@3nertia This isn't because of capitalism
@@ColinParsonsMusic Thanks for your understanding ...
Having been homeless the best donations one could give are 12 ×12 brown tarps, not food or coffee. I remember my friend say, "please, no more chocolate... when a car pulled up to the shelter 😂. Gift cards are a currency for drugs but clothes are cool. What is really needed are safe places like this where you can pitch a tent in safety. I wonder if theft would be as bad as at the shelter?
They Live!
How is the camp today?
What's your point in playing that corny music? ... This is not theater. Thanks for the coffee what about tomorrow and the next day and the next ? Real permanent solutions and improvements are necessary here at rapid pace
Lookit Linda. The awareness brought to the issue by the video should be the takeaway. What is the bother with the music. He is trying to show the conditions they live in. Permanent resources are brought in by steady and constant voices being heard by the city BUT in the meantime, some food, coffee and a blanket are a big help. Never look down upon some one else's giving nature regardless of what they give.
Never gonna happen under capitalism; Profits over People!
Whoa 👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀
Crazy MONEY walkin down the street with a broom , a dustpan and a can on wheels . They ask you ! If you have a vacum cleaner you can make a hundred dollars and hour .
Condensation is always a challenge for wetness
yes, and propane is wet heat
So is it ok to help them if they smoke, drink and have coffee and energy drink addictions? How about the way they keep there tents? Is it ok to give them things when they wont get up and clean and be a productive member of society right where they are? They have phones and beds and say it sucks.. please let me know your criteria for helping others.
Oh my God
I’m trying to figure out how to help. This situation is out of control. My own bills are overdue. I don’t have cash but I do have compassion. I’m looking for suggestions as this needs to be addressed, people need help. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
The more you can help somebody living off the street the more they will do it and not be moving ayes to get a job without being bums
Not a fact
Those edit cuts tho

Oh it must be terrible to be homeless and living in a tent
That’s good for them
When it’s cold outside only place to go is a tent
Rest of the world wants money for cars and houses
Science can tell you caveman never paid rent
Only thing that was vital is life - protection self defense and food
And water!
Gee, how about giving them more nutrinutritious that coffee! Even hit chocolate would have been far better.
I know, right? considering how many views he got from this video...
20f or c ?
Calm down mr soggy wheat bix
We have warm American territories that they could be sent.
Guys got more rolling papers then food? WTF
start fining people and businesses who provide them tents and tarps also release LICE into the homeless camps
Help yourself don't depend on handouts
Try being a single women living outside in snow, and below 38 and two feet of snow that's what I'm going to have do, any tips
How did you go?
Move to warmer climate. You're homeless so you have nothing to take.
Move somewhere that you can go to a shelter.
I really hope you are okay.
@@maryshaffer8474 And no money for travel ...
"Just move" lmfao
How do the homeless have enough cash for cigarettes?
IDK why Americans leave California over homeless with their tents. I mean, everyone needs shelter no matter what species you are. If I lived in California, then I would give some of my money to the homeless
There are probably homeless people where you live - why not help them? :)
@@3nertia The homeless people in my hometown don't have tents.
@@FreezeDollar Then maybe get them some :)
@@3nertia I wish, but I will when I'm an adult. I'm 14 BTW
@@FreezeDollar There are ways you could help and last I checked, you can work at 14. I wish I had done something like that with my money at that age instead of just squandering it, selfishly :(
Honestly though, my advice would be to WORK HARD, save every penny your family doesn't *need* for bills and someday have the money to have your own place and not be like me at 35 and on the verge of homelessness😅
Can ppl not be on the tv oh and remember k.
This is how they want us all living....if you can call it that.
1:26 I was happy to see the guy in the background studying initially but thn I realized he was wasting time flipping through a magazine
Maybe his mind needed a break from studying or something. Don’t be so quick to judge
america has 30 more good years as a first world country. 30.
30? You must not live here. It’s been destroyed from the inside out.
@@Sabbathissaturday It is that bad bro?
Why do they always have to leave a mess of garbage?
Y’all guys have it easy…… try being homeless in Alaska where I live….. -10 and trying to stay alive ain’t no joke.
Instead of coffee why not groceries?
he still givin em sum who gaf
@@xxxsantan6746 People who aren't selfish and aren't just helping others for views and ad revenue? :)
The risk for disease must be massive in these close quarters. You’d have to be a fool to live in one of these shelters. There’s much better ways to be homeless
Never been homeless eh ...
Disguisting! I'm never going to Seattle! Shame on Seattle!!!
OC Pussyfoot never go. Seattle is disgusting.
Endtimes. Things going down rapidly. Surrender to Jesus Christ before it's too late. Become the salt of the earth and a light for others.
Facts
Its all about drugs
funny how the reporter is trying to make it sound worse than it is. "it's really cold" and the campers say "its not that bad". "this is 2 days of propane" and the campers says "2 or 3". haha. what is the solution to this? buy them more tvs and coffee pots. they all look they can work. Trucking industry is short tens of thousands of drivers. there you go.....what's the excuse now???
What is the solution? Compassion. If you care, then do something with love. Try giving to charity and get your employer to match it.
I'm a volunteer Firefighter. I'd hope that counts
It does. Thank you.
No company would hire these people, At least 50% have a monthly disability check and this is how they pay their bills on 600 a month, and the disability is Mental illness so nobody’s going to hire them. Most of them don’t have a car either, So I have some compassion for these people because they are truly fucked
Get the hell up and clean up your area
homeless yet eating pork. Vegan is way better and cheaper.
in what world is vegan cheaper?
vegetables and legumes don't keep you warm in cold weather, animal fats are what is required and how our ancestors were able to survive living in cold without electricity and heat.
Nah ……..get a job
Lots of them have jobs. 17 $ don't pay for housing. The people who serve you are homeless !
