Today I went to Venice Beach to show you an update on the homeless encampment from the video I took five months ago you can decide for yourself if it got worse or better I also include many movie locations I matchup pictures from the actual movie that was shot in Venice Beach Beach - บันเทิง
"This is Hollywood, and this is reality".
That so powerful. Damn.
Quote of the Century
This is California, dude. When I moved here in 1979 it was THEE place to be.
@@69zenos1 It was the place back then. Unbelievable what it has deteriorated into. Sickening.
Best line of 2021!
"This is hollywood and this is reality right here". Truest words spoken
Al Bundy not Ed Bundy
That line hit different. Sad to see.
Great video! but let's shift our attention to something productive. with the way the market is moving, we'll mostly hold for longer than 2030 to realize profit gain, I think a video on "How to profit from the present market" will be more effective, I mean I've heard of people making upto 250K within few months and I'd like to know how.
well the bigger the risk, the bigger the reward and such impeccable trades are better executed by professionals
That right, I started investing sometime in 2018 and by late 2019, I pulled a profit of over $750,000 with no prior investing knowledge or skill, I was basically just following the guidelines set by the financial advisor I use, so you don't necessarily need to be a perfect investor or do the hardworks, just have a professional guide you.
How can one find a resourceful broker, I buy the idea of employing their services, its a shame market crashes as of late have become a sort of habit for stocks
John Joseph is the brokerage-adviser. He has been of great help and his tutelage has brought me to a higher understanding of profit generation. Crypto trading is a digital currency investment that can bring you good profits over time.
I think I came across this name John Joseph on my way to work on the billboards and as to his effectiveness how can he be contacted please?
I grew up in L.A. and used to live in Venice in the 70's. I remember roller skating on the boardwalk, hanging out in restaurants there, having beach parties on the beach. This looks like a Calcutta slum. I can't believe it, so changed from the Venice I remember so fondly.
The mayor and governor need to fired, IMMEDIATELY!
LOL ok bud
If you look at the history of Venice Beach, it seems to have struggled for like 60+ yrs. There are artlcles from 10 years ago saying they use to call it "the slum by the sea" and how it was going through a renovation and becoming more a resort town. Looks like it's back on the downslide.
My sister lives near Venice Beach and she told me she lives there because that's where all the weirdo's live.
They're hired and fired by your vote.
lol dude america's got slums in every city
Sergio, dude no. What should happen is these people should get off drugs IMMEDIATELY and want to clean up their lives. But no- it's too hard for them & they are hooked on drugs. They don't want to change.
It's like a movie crew setting up the beach for an apocalyptic movie scene.
For real!
Except they're filming a now fictional rendition of Venice Beach from actual apocalyptical scene which is the set.
The pictures from the past in the same locations are amazing!
Gut Gemacht! You make great videos my friend. The way you hold up the photos in front of the real thing is a great touch!
I love the part where he shows “Hollywood” vs reality and then makes fun of Hollywood for getting rich off this place and not giving anything back. That’s why I don’t worship any Hollywood celebs.
But still the great Arnold muscle man elected gov over all the puny mere mortals .lollollollollol
Is just like fake news …..
well said man, well said!!!!
Exactly! Pay it forward!!! It's so dangerous to live like this! I'd be scared to death! Actually fuck it,jail is better than living like that!!!
He seems like such a caring man. I wish celebrities would all pull together & each put a $1,000 donation & try to make housing and give them training programs but first they need a just a studio apartment with there own shower a bed & then hygiene haircuts it could work! WTF nobody should be out there! Get ppl in rehabs I bet there's methadone clinics in skid row. Instead of skid row call it it safe row!!! So heartbreaking,it makes me want to donate & help ppl!!! Fucking celebrities pay it forward!!! Get off your pedasjll & start giving back!
Whenever you hear a politician talk about how much they care about people, remember these videos!!
Damn straight
politicians don’t give a damm. All they care is enriching their friends by giving them money to help the homeless
yeah, well the politicians are the ones that are keeping them alive. They give them food stamps, needles, social service programs, etc.
politics is about keeping your job, that's it!!! They care NOTHING about the people they are "supposed" to serve... And Americans are Too WEAK to stand up and fight ..
Politicans are invented by rich to serve and benefit rich only.
Thanks for getting out there and giving me a tour of reality. I'm loving your videos GIV!
Thank you for documenting this side of human nature. What a different world we live now.
Your picture references are literally priceless.
Yes. Definitely.
Exactly what I was thinking 🤔❤️
@@lyssanch3096 yeah
The situation won’t change till the homeless start flooding the old money neighborhoods, and everywhere else the nimby 1% democrats live. I’m not political but dems do control the state. Move skid row to Beverly Hills and bel air.
@@robertmcgee7083 how about moving the homeless in with you, you seem more of the type to house those who are a tax burden............
Beware, my 76 year old cousin was just beat up near the Venice Boardwalk and later died from his injuries! He's lived in Venice for the last 40 years.
Very sorry for your loss.
The people of la have absolutely 0 respect... I'm sorry for your loss
@@jewelscash8752 thanks
@@syleise8729 thanks
No respect man! Need to move out asap
Growing up in the late 90's while attending Hollywood Highschool one of my favourite memories was cutting school one day and taking the bus to Venice Beach, I walked around and enjoyed the scenery, that once safe and chill space seems like a distant memory now
Ok, late 90's. that makes sense!
It had started to gentrify by then.
Early 90's Venice though, would have been way more dangerous than it is today.People tend to forget that fact.
Fewer homeless back then, but way more serious crime and gang-activity.
The Oakwood area just a few blocks in from the beach was gangland, Venice Shoreline crips and Venice 13 territory.
Spent my 20's roller skating and shopping at Venice Beach. I still have the New Wave Era earring collection i purchased from the vendors. VB holds a special place in my heart. It was always sketchy, especially at night, even back then. I think the tourism has saved it. I remember the huge NY style pizza by the slice for $2 and Van Gough's Ear (an off-beat cafe). I like how the bike riding LAPD knew you!! Great video, German!
" This is Hollywood this is reality". Never better demonstrated.
Nice VIDEOS

Analogy for modern America.
L.A. youtuber An0maly recently said he was on the beach & stepped on a used needle with his bare foot.
Unreal.
I was in Venice Beach several years ago and it looked NOTHING like it does today. My God, depressing...
It truly is. My last time there was probably 10 years ago. so sad
A lot of places are like this now. I live in Australia used to skateboard in Melbourne when I was 16-18 years old was some people are were struggling then I went back when I was about 24 and the city just full of people living rough. In that time housing prices have exploded and if you were already on the edge then that would have tipped you over. We do have services that will help not like America with bandaids to the problem. It's just a failed system.
@@shonuff4323 I lived in Venice Beach in 1970. I didn't see any homeless people there.
Why don't you try o do something to help the Homeless instead of Complaining
@@TheDonz1943 nothing we can do now. californians voted for this.
Hey thanks for showing all of this people need to see it and for some reason it's not showing up in mainstream media. Good job 💪👍
It’s been 30 years since I visited Venice Beach. At that time it was so bright, vibrant and full of life and fun! How damn sad.
I am from South America, i was in Venice last years as a tourist, and I couldn’t stay more than 15 minutes. The energy around is so low and heavy for a beach area. South america has sad places to visit but i never been in a place like this before. A hell in a paradise if it’s even possible to describe. Humans struggling in a beautiful natural spot. I don’t understand yet what I witnessed. Unbelievable
We must give purpose and value to all life....maybe it's almost already to little to late....some folks are so hardened by life and suffering untold unimaginative woes and pain...it so sad to see the decay of WHAT WE CALLED HUMANITY....SO SO SAD WE VALUE THINGS MORE THEN LIFE...AND IT SHOW'S IN OUR ACTIONS AND DEEDS TO OTHERS!.😪😭🐥🐘
Drug addicts... Most homeless are drug addicts.
Just remember it’s not communism.... it’s California Communism
agree ... we visited there a few years ago and what a sad disappointment....i am sure it is much worse now..............the great government of Cali cannot do something about this? It is beyond control........................
This is the result of leftist communist corrupt politicians do to a country. Don’t vote left!!!!
Hollywood vs Reality was a brilliant shot. Just amazing!
This was a good video, very informative, i sensed the empathy and lack of judgement towards the homeless and I appreciate that! I subscribed!!
love the background music and rhythm of each post. Love the picture match ups for movies and celebrities like Michael, Jackson, Arnold s, Bruce Lee, Marilyn Monroe - shows the homeless living as it really is - so well edited
The one cop going by on his bike "Hey I watch you on TH-cam!" That was funny
I was personally thinking - you're got 30 cops cycling past all that - what are they actually doing?
I don't blame them personally, they're constrained by the insane governor policies , but it's kind of depressing when law enforcement are watching TH-cam videos of all this rather than actively doing something to improve it.
I’m sure he watches them on his downtime. Kinda hard to watch TV on a bicycle.
And these are called saturation patrols, they split up when they’re not on a trail haha
@@squidburns And do what exactly in Venice? Give out tickets to homeless people who can't pay them.
All around Venice there are mobile homes, camper vans, and cars people are living in double parked - no ticketing. If you or I could find any space left and parked between these make shift homes - we'd be ticketed though. Police patrols in that area just look like window dressing. If the windows weren't already boarded up.
@@Andrew-ib7gs
Trust me, the cops are more frustrated and embarrassed than anyone. One the one hand, there is the expectation by the public for cops to do something, but at the same time the courts have told them they cant! www.latimes.com/politics/story/2019-12-16/supreme-court-lets-stand-ruling-that-protects-homeless-who-sleep-on-sidewalk

The "man" has no care for these people. As they get richer the rest of us get poorer and poorer. And yes German in Venice, it has been getting worse. We go there weekly and tape and it is growing.
Absolutely. German is doing street journalism.
Hammer Video - Die Art wie du das jetzige Problem zeigst und dann Filmmomente von damals einstreust über die Bilder die du einfach vor die Kamera hältst (hab ich vorher noch nie so gesehen) , dazu die subtile Musik wenn du wieder auf die Obdachlosigkeit schwenkst. Ich finde es echt eindrucksvoll, vielen Dank.
I’m sold love the history lesson. Subscribed keep it up you’ve a talent and a great narrative voice may god bless and help all those poor homeless folks
Was there 5 Years ago, won't be back any time soon. So sad.
Shit, I drove over from washington state and as soon as I got over the mountain range from the east and saw this nasty brown cloud, I turned around. NO THANKS!!

@@jackstraw5527 Yosemite here I come! Joshua Tree was nice as well.
The girl being pushed in the shopping cart at the 3:52 mark of the video was my girlfriend of 5 years from 22 to 27. Her name is Kristina. At 27 she quickly developed severe paranoid schizophrenia and lost complete touch with reality. It was a very hard and traumatic experience for everyone... she has never been able to get the kind of support she needs and has been on the streets on and off for 10 years now or so just surviving. She's from Washington state but originally grew up in California. She's 37 years old now, believe it or not, and considering everything she's been through and the self medication/substance abuse, she has survived and held up better than 99% of people would. She was a care taker before she became ill and too care of elderly people. She loved kids and wanted to have her own. What's crazy is she can't keep track of anything, a phone, where she is half the time, let alone hold a job, but she remembers my phone number and still calls me once in a while.
Do you see her there often or have you interviewed her ever? Coming across this was pretty mind blowing, but I knew she was down there
That’s really touching man I hope Kristina gets the help she needs and stays safe out there especially through the heatwave

Looks more like a garbage dump than Venice Beach.
and this is how diseases spread too... i know in San Diego people shit on the sidewalks..
This should actually be a humanitarian crisis but the politicians dont give a f
have you seen arabiangains video on Hollywood? It's disgusting!
BINGO!!
What a shame, a beautiful iconic beech like this ruined by (mostly) drug addicts who don't want to get help. 70% are from out of state. No wonder, beautiful weather all the time, get high and live for free at a place most people pay good money to vacation at, with virtually no consequences. For years I've always wanted to visit Cali and see and enjoy this area, but not now.
@@gwennauslot1104 Frankly, I feel like Trump's complete failure to deal with the pandemic caused this
This is an embarrassment to the state of California!
California is not embarrassed.

This is what they have in store for all of America.
@rattlesnake pete and weak gun laws that give the criminals more protection than the law abiding citizens.
German guy you are an excellent reporter. It's sad to see that all the cool things in Venice Beach have closed up. Hey thanks very much for mentioning and showing my all-time idol Jim Morrison!! BTW this isn't Corina......it's her dad. RIP Jim.
What a wonderful, but sad, movie. I lived in West Hollywood and absolutely loved Venice Beach back in the old, Muscle Beach days. I absolutely can't BELEIVE what's happened, thanks for showing us, and really enjoyed the movie references. What in the WORLD can be done for these folks to help change their lives??
Kudos to the California governor and los Angeles mayor for doing absolutely NOTHING.
They haven’t done anything, they’ve made it worse. Handing out needles, passing laws allowing tents on city sidewalks, judges not enforcing the laws and letting people go free after the police make arrests...sad
the la city council is to busy talking about transexual issues what a shame, guess Air bnb isnt doing so good in venice anymore fuckers forced me out of my apt.
@@frontrowtennis you do realize our tax money is used to arrest people. We pay about $60,000 per inmate just to have them com back again. Your solution had been tried and is a failure and in humane. It is time for you to find a better solution than to just arrest them or else don’t say anything.
Newsome is doing a lot of things. Enjoying $500 a plate meals, for example. And he probably spends a lot of time on his hair, too.
Hes a dem man.
Move them to Beverly Hills, it will be solved in a week.
I fully agree, next to the woke celebrities
@Stunning Stuff This is true, LA is just pathetic right now.
Yeah solved by moving them right back to Venice or somewhere else.
Beverly Hills is actually a separate municipality than Los Angeles and they are very strict with loitering. The homeless don't dare set up a tent there
@@piehamcake1 I don't think they even allow them to venture into the area. My boss lives of Beverly and Wilshire and not a single piece of trash is seen on the streets. Drive a couple miles in either direction and it's a whole different story.
Subscribed! Really like your vibe on a bad to worsening situation. I live just miles from Venice beach myself for 20+ years. I'll say to viewers that as of right now it's much improved over what we see here in this video but still pretty bad.
Praying for you and your mom. Hope you both are doing better.
12:08 ... The old man eating garbage not even a seagull would want. Sad!
Because seagulls eat organic food without being good processed. I only eat fruit salad and veggies salad everyday that is why I don't have constipation problem. I'm 40 yay!
That was sad, however, the homeless don't need to go hungry. There are so many charities handing out food in LA. One homeless guy in skidrow was filming all the charities feeding them. There were so many on the street he was turning them down.
@@YA-qj8fx Yes, I'm in east Hollywood and I chat with our local homeless when I do my daily walks. They rarely ask me for food. One lady asked me for a Coke (not coke!), a youngish guy asked for a beer (I got one for him, everyone needs a bud), and an older gent asked me for a protein shake! I try not to just pass them by like they are invisible. They remind me of John Prine's song "Hello in There".

Thankyou Soo much great video.
They say California is 5 years ahead of the rest of the country. This is what the rest of us have to look forward to.
This is the effect of out of control capitalism. California deals with the brunt of homelessness, people from all over the country go there because of the mild weather. Cost of living is extremely high, in most places you don’t stand much of a chance of purchasing a home even if you make decent money.
@@deadtome44 Dude, this is the effect of irresponsible social programs that are most likely being embezzled by politicians. The cost of living certainly isn't high there because of capitalism. If that were the case, red states would be the ones with extremely high costs per living. Texas has a lower cost of living than Oregon despite having a higher population density. But sure, let's blame capitalism...
Damn Democrats destroy everything
@@deadtome44 still blaming capitalism...lol stupid leftist.
@@blushihtzu I know it’s hard for you to speak without insulting, but I’ll indulge. How is this not the result of a country that has abandoned the lower/middle working class?

Yeah I had no idea venice beach got this bad let alone muscle beach closing down. Back in the day I was a gym rat and all we thought about was Arnie and Franco working out on muscle beach.
Wow... thank you for showing us the reality of a real crises in our state
Ayy man, i just stumbled across your channel and i really appreciate your videos. i've never been homeless (also not planning to) but spent lots of good times, made lots of great memories in venice beach with the "dirty kids" and street artists back in 2017 and once more winter 2018. many of them choose to live like this because rent is so crazy high. i can imagine it only got worse with the pandemic. recently i lost someone who i had a deep connection with whom i met there on the boardwalk, it's tragic how many young people die living on the streets. but my relationship to me just made me realize no matter our social status, we can all connect if we meet each other with an open attitude. by the way i'm also from germany, currently in berlin. i love your approach and attitude in your videos, and thanks for so much for the update on the boardwalk. i subscribed and look forward to more content of yours.
i really like how you link to those historic movies and artists with photos. makes you stand out from the rest.

Sad part is: it appears that all this homeless issues are only going to get worse.... Thanks for another great video 👍
Imagine how normies will behave when the internet and power goes out for good seems the homeless got a leg up on society in that case
Yep, all of the taxpayers are leaving the state. There’s getting to be more people collecting benefits than there are taxpayers. The ones that are left paying taxes are getting shafted.
There is only one language homeless people respect: PAIN
Until they are beaten, they will continue to shit on everyone and everything
Great news from the future, the place is cleaned up

Well done video.
Your movie history of Venice is quite interesting.
I am from New Zealand, but way back in 2006 I stayed in Venice while attending my Yoga Teacher training at Sacred Movement. I stayed at a place called the Cadillac Hotel, which I picked simply because the name made me laugh and the price was right. The walls were thin, and there was a German couple in the room next to me who sure did like to bang a lot. On my first day there, where I was feeling like a stranger in a strange land, just alone, weirded out, and generally unhappy, a little fellow with no legs, lying on a skateboard pushed himself over to me, and said "Are you ok?". The concern in his voice was genuine, and as dumb as it sounds, that one single moment, instantly altered my perspective and mood. I smiled at him, and told him I was fine. That seemed to satisfy him, and he scooted himself away. While I saw plenty of homeless people at Venice, I never once felt threatened, and I felt an odd affinity with them, as if I'd travelled so far just to be with people that I somehow felt connected to in a way I could never hope to explain. I think it came down to this. In Venice, I felt normal, and I've always struggled to find that feeling anywhere else, especially here at home. I will probably never visit Venice again, but I love that place, and there will always be a part of me there. I genuinely hope Venice, and by extention the rest of the U.S. finds a way to heal itself, because it is a country in great pain and with a lot of healing to do, right now. Peace.

new subscriber and 👍!!! Thanks for your channel 💞

“The police watch me on TH-cam” 😂😂😂

No worries... American media has the ability to " Glamorize " everything, even what is Bad... so soon it will be trendy to be homeless.
American freedom! Free from homes, free from food, free from health!
It’s not going to be trendy, it already is.
@@BannerMirror501
In effect...
Homeless=freedom. Trendy!
Yeah it's like you are on permanent camping trip.
I hope you see this one buddy.😊
I lived in Hollywood for almost 8 years 15 years ago. I worked at greckos new York pizza at las Palmas and the one located at Hollywood and highland. Going back and forward with my skates when it was possible to do that. Thanks for the amazing videos, I get a bit sad 🥲 because I missed California with all my heart. Living in Norway now and I m blessed but Hollywood will be always in my heart ♥️. Thanks for making these beautiful videos possible and keep the good work buddy 🙏. Wish ya the very best
Best regards Jorge
I was
born on L.A.......Those aren't the same streets that I remember.
I'm so glad that I got out many years ago.....So sad 😔
I now live in West Tennessee (yay!!)
Thank you GIV for showing us L.A.
I wanted to move to California my whole life because of the way it has always been portrayed. I almost moved there without ever visiting but then figured that was probably a bad idea so I went for 2 weeks for a vacation and then was going to come home and pack my stuff. I definitely changed my mind about moving there.
It used to be awesome here, now it sucks cause of democrats and liberal policies.
What made you change your mind? if I could I'd go there at the drop of a hat
@John Cocktoaston yeah I love the fucked up roads, the traffic, the high taxes, rampant crime, etc.
The Cali dream of yester-
year has become a national nightmare from which our country can't seem to awaken. Shameful.
@@jrr3613 have you seen the video 😆
I was in Venice recently and I saw an ad for your channel. Glad I followed you here! I remember Venice beach in the 2000s and was pretty shocked when I saw how much the homless population has expanded. They've always been there but it's massive now.
@@JustforKicks126 more like California taxing people to death and giving broke ass people tons of government assistance.
@@JustforKicks126 Bezos has earned every cent he's made. He's free to do with it what he wants to. If he wants to open a giant homeless shelter than he can do that.
@@JustforKicks126 he definitely has. He built that entire company out of his garage and grew it to the behemoth it is today. 2nd of all nobody is getting exploited. He's the one who started raising wages that started a domino effect of other companies also increasing wages. Is Amazon the most ethical company? No but to say that he hasn't earned it is asinine. He's done way more for the world than you ever will.
@@JustforKicks126 what inequality? Amazon starts employees off at higher wages than most companies and your benefits are available from day 1. Most companies don't have that. Also, labor is value. If you don't have labor to do the work you don't have anything. And he definitely started it on his own, in his garage. It's not anyone else's fault that you don't understand that you can't have a big production facility with high paid workers from day one. He started selling books online out his garage and grew it from there. Its a well documented fact that that's true.
@@scottyhaines4226 if it were just California then California would have the highest poverty rates in the country but they don’t. This is a problem everywhere you just can see it in LA.
Wow
I just came back from Venice but saw just a few tents
Hopefully since you’ve done the video they got some help
Very interesting, and sad to see how bad the homeless situation has become. Thanks for covering it 🙏
again thank you
In 1997, when my life was good, I had a "Cottage" on Ocean Blvd. "$900" a month. At around 12 or 1am, used to ride my bike to the beach, plop it on my shoulder, and walk to the shore, and sit on a lifeguard tower to watch the waves come in. It was the life. Now, I wouldn't walk to the market at that time of night. That cottage I had is probably going for $2000 - 2500 a month now :/. I used to walk from another location in Santa Monica near the college, to work at Tower Records near the 3rd St. Promenade, can't believe _they_ let the area go to hell like this . . . very sad.
If rent was still at 1997 levels and wages moved in step with inflation, there would be a lot less of this. The housing bubble/flip craze of the early 2000’s share a role in this more than any state legislative acts.
@@normandparent7160 Amazing. My Great Aunt got a house in Whittier for around $15,000 back in the 50s.
I grew up spending all my summer days down at Venice Beach, back in the 70's. It was so fun and safe. Bike riding, roller skating all day long..this is just utterly depressing and post apocalyptic. OMG, it is just disgusting.
We're in the Last Days. It will only get worse from here on out.
@@macyr2216 I rent the place I live in. And I'm not alone. More people won't fit. Another thing to consider is, not all homeless people are good vibes, yo. Some are homeless for a reason other than being down on their Luck, as to say.
Venice beach was safe in the 70s? LOL, what gang were you in?
I was there in the mid 70's, and no one I knew there would say it was safe like you describe. Yes, lot's of skateboarding, the bike path, etc. But also lot's of shady stuff went on too. You had to be savvy and watch your ass to hang out there all the time.
@@jondog9 Well, I was always with friends and I stuck to the S.M. pier and the bike/skate paths and only stayed during daylight so I missed all you shady ppl. :). There were NO tents with homeless ppl when I was there and no one ever bothered me.
Watching from NZ, we have a bad homeless situation here too, not as bad as the U.S but for our population pretty bad. Love the photos before and after. Such a powerless situation and frustrating for the businesses i'm sure. Cheers
I thought we had a homeless problem, this is ridiculous. Appreciate the video I had no idea it was that bad out there.
This same scene is repeated in Portland Oregon all over the city.
Welcome to America.
That's because the west coast reelects corrupt politicians over and over again. Homelessness isn't nearly as big of a problem in the rest of the country.
@@ninjalemurdude Thats because all the homeless from your state come to California because your state already sucks...
@@shrayesraman5192 Right... homeless people are going across the country to where the cost of living is even higher so that they can afford even less than practically nothing.
Do you not think before you type or are you just ignorant?
@@ninjalemurdude The dude in the video even says that himself. It is much easier to be homeless when the whether is always perfect than dying of heatstroke or freezing to death. Think before you type...
@@shrayesraman5192 Right, so, where are they getting the money to go cross country? Bus fare from half of the country to LA is over $200. That's a months rent in low income housing in most of the country. That's 30 days to get a job and not be homeless anymore. Unlike in CA, a minimum wage job can easily get you by in 90% of the country.
Why doesn't Florida or the Texas Gulf have the same homelessness problem? CA isn't the only place in the country with 70 degree weather year round. Why does Washington have the same homelessness crisis as CA? It gets real cold up there.
Your argument makes so little sense that it's astonishing. Like, you're so privileged that you actually think homeless people are just traveling across the country because of the weather? They can't afford a luxury like that. If they could, they wouldn't be homeless.
I like..." This is Hollywood, and this is a reality over here."'
this is so sad, there is to many homeless people over there it's very surrealist, you guys have all the oportunities in the world ... I wish a better tomorrow to all those people
Apparently we don't have any opportunities. They take away more civil rights everyday. No liveable wages. No healthcare. No affordable housing, addiction. What are you talking about?
Du machst echt krasse Videos mein Bruder!! Respekt!
