just wanted to know if you were undercover. you have to win their trust. And they were actually protecting her and what was the message tom? their body language was letting you know she rides with them. they will all share the food. And the Alpha male was sizing you up so what he said was designed to see how you react to chicken and neckbones. to test your intelligence and motive. if you didn't respond properly they would wait to try and play you as a sucker or trick or john. So they deliberately wanted to surround you and watch your reaction. they will become comfortable and trusting over tume because they are hardcore. but for now I would be more aware of where I interview. You handled yourself well and made the appropriate response: you didn't let the Alpha male take your personal space i told you about. You told him to back up. You will someday make a good Ronin. Lol. just remember. in the inner city the males will try to dominate. inch by inch. You never give them the first inch. And you never show fear. Peace and love.
calvin murry So you dont think they were planning to shake down Tom ? I have seen a very similar set of circumstances once in my life. In fact it happened at a gas station at the first gas station exit off the highway coming from Canada, on my way to Cleveland. It was a dimly lit gas station, self-serve. One set of pumps, 30 - to 50 ft. away from the building. I was a college student travelling with my friend who was a humongous, Vancouver Island farm boy. I was busy filling up my car, my friend is on the passenger side, leaning on the car as we r talking. Then the exact same thing happened like Tom. One second ago, no people around, then out of the corner of my eye, suddenly, there are 8 - to - 10 men. First, they are crowding the front of the building, next look over, they are halfway between the building and the pumps. Strangely, I never see anyone walking over. Every time I look over, these guys are huddling in a different location, closing the gap between us. I was so freaked out, i don't remember paying. These guys wouldn't say, nor answer one word. The behaviour of these men were very "Night of The Living Dead-ish", I was so spooked. This occurred in 1988 and seeing this go down with Tom brought it all back ! Are you sure they weren't planning to jump Tom ? Can you tell me what on earth was being played-out on me ? Oh, by the way, this was my first & last time in Detroit. I have never been spooked ever ! I feel safe walking anywhere, anytime in NYC 35 yrs ago! I hope you can answer this. ~ Thanks.
Them people that don't want you in that area are the people selling the people that dope Point Blank and simple. Sending prayers and positivity and healing light to each and every one of these people that are on the streets. May we all pray for Tom and his safety as he continues to help these ladies and gentlemen of the street
Tom be careful dealing with just anybody....you’ll easily get taken advantage of. When someone has nothing then they’ll do just about anything to get whatever they can! Those men weren’t working the streets, they just saw a handout! Nobody with good intentions would be comfortable asking you for stuff when they’ve only spoken 2 words to you! Her asking you to tell them to step back was enough to tell you what kind of people they are! Please be careful and I know it’s hard to not wanna help everyone but the ones that you ask “what would you like people to help you with?” and they answer by saying “words of encouragement” are the pure hearted ones that deserve the help and really DO wanna get better!! Just always stay on high alert! ❤️
I see people like this every day There just people having a hard time with life I'm glad that you didn't show fear Tom, sometimes that's the problem, Everyone is scared and these people get no help And yes one of the men was mean looking, but they have to be hard They're living in the streets Thank you for helping them Tom.
@@ChosenWon All I can say about this video is Yikes! Stick to your regular area please. Not trying to tell you what to do or be mean to anyone in any way but just like Indiana Chick, I got bad vibes from this area.
Bless her heart. She has great taste in movies. Young guns, the movie about billy the kid. Great movies! I wish I could help her. What was up with dude with the 40 oz?
Aww God bless her soul . by his stripes you are heald. My heart goes out to her as a sister . God love you girl🙏💝🙏.God bless you all . them men need Jesus to they all just lost souls still trying to find themselves . I pray for you brother and sister you guys are loved though .
You gotta go back here Tom. Esoecially with some food donations. I will send you whatever you need, hell, I'm not too far away. I would be glad to help you pass out some non-perishables, clothes, anything you need. Just hmu. I would feel safe with you and they know who you are. 💙🦋💙
Thank you for doing this. I can't believe how many subscribers you have now. I try frequently to mention your site. I've tried to get Tulsi Gabbard's attention, too. I actually think she's read my comments. People like her really need to pay attention to Detroit, including the downside. Love you for this. God has rewards for you.
Those guys were just protecting her to Make sure she was alright. They’re not all out to hurt you, their just overly watchful, they have to be! I think once they get some neck bones n warmer clothing they will eventually warm up as much as they can. Remember they have a wall built up, Tom will have to gain their trust xoxo praying for you always Tom😊 I’ve met people on the streets most have great personalities n friendly. You just have to use your street smarts for you to determine is this a no no or a yes
More than half the folks in this world are good! Cops to hoodlums to jail! They just got caught! It's sad HOW folks are so afraid of other folks! Addiction is a horrible thing though ThAt will ALLOW you to hurt and rob family for YOUR next buzz so.... Always keep ThAt in mind I LOVE y'all man
I’m wondering if that’s Tartive Dyskinesia from medication side effects.. You’re interview expanded and grew as your generosity does Tom..take good care of yourself too please..🌟
Tom you had my anxiety on max in this situation. Deep breath . I'm try to send stuff. Just have to get my medical bills a lil...ok a lot . My heart needs to help
Tom, you are a Saint. Certainly Santa Claus to a lot of people in Detroit. I love watching your videos and I really think it's great what you are doing.
I’m sure people have offered but would it be possible for me to join you at some point on your journey? I’m a mental health therapist working with individuals in corrections - the stories you capture are parallel to that of what I hear each day. I just imagine what a gift it would be to journey with you.
I really think the men thought he was there to help the homeless besides the younger guy with the 40 oz he had an attitude and gave bad vibes + he didnt need anything. I really think they were harmless. They kept their space and they didn't ask for money they asked for survival things but not begging or harassing anyone. I this k they new Wanda so they thought it was okay smh God bless these people so sad.
I was somewhat concerned after watching this video Tom, have you considered a “riding partner”... 🚩🚩🚩⚠️... 🚩🚩🚩 this is dangerous especially since you give out $$$... PLEASE be careful 🤭
Those guys just wanting food (neck bones) maybe canned chicken could work and winter clothes xxxl and size 12 shoes. I wish I had something to give to you to hand out for thanksgiving. I will be praying that someone has the means to give. The air was thick their just glad y’all had the extra can of chili!! Praying for your protection and guidance.
I’m very confused and I’m not trying to come off as rude but, why is everyone saying she if this person clearly has a full beard? Are they transgender? Am I missing something lol
@@honeybadgerusa5689 not watch out at all....she said, "He wants me to go over there"....because she is affiliated with those guys. You should note that she tries running away while the guys are talking to Tom to not share that 20.00. I do not think that they were interested in hurting Tom, but thought he was going to give them more than two cans and some candy. The gentleman that was the alpha-male ( youngest and did not appear to have any addictions) was policing them all- he was not interested in hurting Tom. Potentially, the alpha was a drug dealer and the people were his mules...willing to do anything to get high- so basically they were all playing on the clock.
I hope they didn't take her money and her food😥. You have to be careful out there , never turn your back on a group of people like that. I'm just saying , some of these people feel they have absolutely NOTHING to lose by hitting you over the head and taking everything you have.
She needs to see a doctor because she is overproducing androgens. Honestly that’s possibly adrenal cancer! I bet she has no idea that could be possible with that issue!
She said "Tell him to go over there". She said it twice, but he either didn't hear her or understand her. I think someone was making her nervous, or she was just paranoid.
I don’t think that’s her crew, it seemed like she didn’t even wanna be with them - they were shadowing her. Which is sad. But send her some razors instead of taking about her beard.
Mimi Mc - Any time he interviews a drug-addicted homeless person there’s a chance things could go horribly left, no matter how many times he’s spoken to them. What was different here?
Awww Wanda-Lynn,she loved skating when she was young , Bless this sweet woman what a sweetheart ,I hope she's somewhere nice and warm this winter 🙏🏽❤️

Wanda Lynn, you are a brave woman in a sea of sharks but the 'Greatest Fisherman' is protecting you, body and sou!!!
If all retired folks do the stuff You are doing, the world would be a better place.
Bless her soul, she's tough too ....she pushed past those big men with her swedish Fish!
God said I will save her if she surrender
I will give her a new look inside and
Outside, I promise if she come to me
And let me adore her 💚❤️🖤
Alicia McFadden amen!
Love this ... thanks for sharing . @alicia
Tom, Please be careful out there.
Chosen Won please be safe... She seems sweet i meant no offense to her..
But always better safe than sorry

Crazy all the men went after her after the interview 😏
They want that 20
Oh they took that 20. She didnt get shit. And 10 of it was supposed to be hers poor lady..!!
I’m confused. They have a beard? Is she/he transgender ?
You handled that SO WELL!! I was nervous watching!
I see people like this every day
There just people having a hard time with life
I'm glad that you didn't show fear Tom, sometimes that's the problem, Everyone is scared and these people get no help
And yes one of the men was mean looking, but they have to be hard
They're living in the streets
Thank you for helping them Tom.
Amen!
These videos could turn into a great documentary , this is so needed from state to state .
Thanks.
The guy drinking the 40 gave me BAD VIBES!!!! He seems like he's the leader of the pack!!!
You should have been there.
@@ChosenWon All I can say about this video is Yikes! Stick to your regular area please. Not trying to tell you what to do or be mean to anyone in any way but just like Indiana Chick, I got bad vibes from this area.
Well as you seen nothing happen
@@ChosenWon I WISH I could of been there. I love this kinda work you are doing. Hell I don't think Detroit is that far from me.
@@ChosenWon I just looked up how far DETROIT IS FROM Syracuse, Indiana and I didn't realize IT'S ONLY 3 HOURS FROM ME!!!
Damn Tom, I'm all for you helpin' out and spreading awareness but I wouldn't be turning my back on anyone. Stay safe out there.
That was intense.
Bless her heart. She has great taste in movies. Young guns, the movie about billy the kid. Great movies! I wish I could help her. What was up with dude with the 40 oz?

Lol people trippin they were not goimg to do anything to him! Relax!
exactly.
I ❤️ Swedish fish. 😊 not sure about the neck bones. Tom you are spending your retirement wisely! Appreciate all you do.
That got intense real quick. What a way to diffuse the situation. 👍
Damn you got swarmed... I'd be scared as hell!!!
I'm a ninja turtle.
@@ChosenWon 😂🤣😂🤣
Chosen Won laughingmy ass off!
@@kay3812 Smh, scary
@@ChosenWon I knew it! 😎😁
Tom you should be careful. Just because it’s daylight doesn’t mean they won rob you!
I would work on your street smarts a little bit.
I'm a fighting ninja turtle.
Sketch city! I was worried. They're totally going to take her money.
I smiled when she said skating. Keep pushing.
God Bless her heart ❤️. I really hope she gets off of the streets before somebody really hurts her 😔.
I really like her bless her x
You gotta go back here Tom. Esoecially with some food donations. I will send you whatever you need, hell, I'm not too far away. I would be glad to help you pass out some non-perishables, clothes, anything you need. Just hmu. I would feel safe with you and they know who you are.

This is sad I pray these people get the help they need.
Poor girl, she didn’t none of that money or the food 💔
Those guys are chill.. Even the man with the 40..
Those guys were just protecting her to
Make sure she was alright. They’re not all out to hurt you, their just overly watchful, they have to be!

The guy with the 40 was just making sure the people on the block were safe. Strange van and an unknown white man.
Exactly. A middle aged white guy in the middle of Detroit will make the whole neighborhood nervous.
Right an unknown white man in the middle of the hood with a camera. Of course he was going to become a spectacle.
More than half the folks in this world are good! Cops to hoodlums to jail! They just got caught! It's sad HOW folks are so afraid of other folks! Addiction is a horrible thing though ThAt will ALLOW you to hurt and rob family for YOUR next buzz so.... Always keep ThAt in mind I LOVE y'all man
Homeless men are much more aggressive ... Be safe
I’m wondering if that’s Tartive Dyskinesia from medication side effects.. You’re interview expanded and grew as your generosity does Tom..take good care of yourself too please..🌟
Kathleen Stevens I was wondering the same.
Looks very much like tardive dyskinesia to me, although I suppose decades of chronic amphetamine use could do that, too.
I agree! Something extra sketchy about that whole situation....
I wonder if the man drinking the 40 was a pimp cause she didn't want him there listening
Not sure.
@@ChosenWon and he wouldn't leave her alone as soon as she walked away. Also he didn't want anything from you but sure n the hell was bugging her
nah probably their drug dealer
@@kristinstevenson9118 exactly!! I think he was standing there impatiently waiting for her to buy some crack from him. He ain't her pimp.
@@kristinstevenson9118 nah cause she didn't want him there. It's like she didn't want him seeing the $$
Tom you had my anxiety on max in this situation. Deep breath . I'm try to send stuff. Just have to get my medical bills a lil...ok a lot . My heart needs to help
Poor woman looks like she has tardis dyskinesia. (Strange mouth movements she can’t control) . Sad. Stay safe!
Idk what to say about this video...
Tom, you are a Saint. Certainly Santa Claus to a lot of people in Detroit. I love watching your videos and I really think it's great what you are doing.
Be careful Sir. you are a kind soul these people are truly the forgotten
I’m sure people have offered but would it be possible for me to join you at some point on your journey?
I’m a mental health therapist working with individuals in corrections - the stories you capture are parallel to that of what I hear each day. I just imagine what a gift it would be to journey with you.
You are a very beautiful person Tom
I'm not a doctor but she should have her liver checked her eyes are extremely yellow
I was thinking the same exact thing. Your the only one I see mention it. I feel bad I hope she can get checked soon 🥺
I really think the men thought he was there to help the homeless besides the younger guy with the 40 oz he had an attitude and gave bad vibes + he didnt need anything. I really think they were harmless. They kept their space and they didn't ask for money they asked for survival things but not begging or harassing anyone.

Tom your voise is so young.. i would of never guessed your age .. stay safe buddy
Thanks. That's the only thing that stayed young. LOL.

Chicken and neck bones 🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂 I cried laughing
Bless Kenneth Moore
People have a lot of respect for you.
I would never let my mother be homeless
Very interesting character. Good interview Tom! 😰
Thanks.
Wow, I’m appalled at how many people were “worried” when nothing happened. 🤦🏽♀️
Shay Mae hopefully it isn’t race wise
She needs to see a doctor because she is overproducing androgens. Honestly that’s possibly adrenal cancer! I bet she has no idea that could be possible with that issue!
Judging by the comments on these and all his other videos Black = scary. White = sympathetic
I agree. Young and old is the same thing. Unfortunate, but at least we're given a glimpse of what people really think.
Wonderful interview, good people!✌
Awwwww I would love to send clothes to the people
They are human beings... Give them respect and they will be fair.....
Oh brother. There is no fair in their world.
So sad to see this lady like this.
The only reason they are following her is bcuz they just saw Tom give her money....Leave her alone.
I would not go back there
Those guys just wanted some help to. That one guy with the drink prob was gonna sell her some drugs. I didn’t get bad vibes.
That's what I think.
Yea was thinkin the same
I only got bad vibes from 1 dude in particular.
@Gorgon Cordo Yep.
Can someone please help me understand what she said at 2:19
She said "Tell him to go over there". She said it twice, but he either didn't hear her or understand her. I think someone was making her nervous, or she was just paranoid.
U had em circling be smart Tom
Why did she have to split her 10 with all those other guys?
I gave her 20.
Ahh good man
Please be careful out there! Got a bad feeling about this.
Why did she have to give those guys anything?
$10.00.
They control her. More than likely pimp!!!
Tom I am afraid for you.
She looks rough!! My goodness......peace be with her
You'd look rough too if you were in her position,don't be so rude. She's sweet.
Neck bones?
I'm confused........lol
Lol ! Right
Beauty on a Barn Budget - You put neck bones in your spaghetti?
Ohhh man, Tom
Theirs a lot of needs out their your doing the right thing Tom
I love Young Guns too! Great movie, godless and keep u
I wouldn’t go back there
Don’t go bck tom , we love you
I'm learning to break dance.
u got balls of steel
Is Wanda Lynn a transgender???
No.
Just needs some tweezers
@@ChosenWon thank you Tom
Women grow facial hair for lots of different medical reasons. Really sucks.
Indiana Chick I think it’s hormonal maybe a thyroid issue.
Wow this is sad and I would have been scared
That’s a girl. I didn’t even realize until halfway
Be safe out there
Id stay away from this area. Someone was robbed and shot on that same street you were at. In summer of 2017. Look it up edgevale homicide.
It's Detroit... Someone has been robbed & shot on nearly every street.
I bet they will hurt her for that money
There’s something shifty about Wanda Lynn 🤔
It's her crew I don't like.
It's her crew. Taking the stuff she was given..sad
She has a beard
30 year crack heads tend to be a bit shifty.
I don’t think that’s her crew, it seemed like she didn’t even wanna be with them - they were shadowing her. Which is sad. But send her some razors instead of taking about her beard.
That could have gone very wrong ,
Mimi Mc - Any time he interviews a drug-addicted homeless person there’s a chance things could go horribly left, no matter how many times he’s spoken to them. What was different here?
That shit makes me so upset! You rather go without just to get high?!
Nice
Neckbones?😮
P Hardy 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 the nerve!!
Where is Madeline?????
Umm. Yeah. Please be careful.
That was to sketchy wow they are hungry man wow poor people
They want the money she got..sad ..she could not even make a buck without having it taken..
