The lack of empathy is astounding.
Yeah, their incredibly abrasive take on this speaks volumes about Fox 11. This is my first impression of LA's reporting and it seems like they are very Anti-American. Is all LA reporting on the homeless this disgusting?
If he was stealing catalytic converters and in and out of prison the community would’ve banded together and bought him a house lol
Facts
The news reporter on the street is cool, but the other two, my goodness
Yes!!! Their attitude towards this man is ridiculous, like it’s effecting them! and it’s the very reason why the world is like it is today! One would have thought their attitudes would have been, “wow, how can I help?” Not, “how despicable!” A SHAME!!!! 🤦🏽♀️
They totally ignored the facts that he's an army vet. That's the thanks you get for serving this country for these ungrateful people. No compassion, no sympathy, not a helpful or wishful thought is really sad.
They were vile to him.
Don't serve your country not worth it....
My thoughts EXACTLY!!!
bc he said he was a vet. lol you buy that
no, they kept offering him services and he kept turning them down.
Dude is industrious, resourceful, independent, and clearly gives a damn about the outward aesthetics which effect the social ecosystem around him. Mad respect for this dude!
Sounds like Marla doesn't have a clue what a generator is
She's sheltered. If she be homeless for a day, she'd lose her mind.
@@Scrappy_ill_fold_ya_Doo Definitely
I thought the same thing 😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂
I am sure if he had asked Marla for some help she would quickly called the cop on him saying, he is trying to rob her.
This gets under my skin. This man served his country and he’s homeless? No one who has served in any branch should be homeless and without food.
Even if you made seriously stupid decisions in life? Man, Americans should stop crawling up the ass of the military.
He refused services and help though
To be fair, they did offer him housing and food. It was his choice to do this on his own
Its his choice
Many have addictions and would rather live on the street because they can’t follow the rules that the government sets for them if they decide to get government services like staying clean etc.
The fact they called the cops while reporting is insane.
right?I was like really? that was unnecessary and he was waiting for the whole thing to get cleaned up talking about how 'interesting" it will be
FRRR like he seems like such a chill guy and even gave them a whole interview like whattttt
Talking about “To see what can be done to help”, they probably flipped it when they realized the police weren’t gonna say anything
Fking nuts
Racist newscasters make me sick to my stomach…
Thanks, Phil, for ignoring Marla as much as possible.
Phil had empathy
I needed that 😂
The attempt to accuse him of “milking” the city power grid after he said he has a generator already… my god woman.
Don't think she understands what a generator is.
when a homeless vet has more class than anyone else in this story...
26 years old Christopher Copeland.. 666th coment here..
ABSOLUTELY!!!!!!!!
You said it. The urinalist female is irritating.
Makes u wonder huh...?
The administration has to do a better job with our veteran population/ the effort has to be reciprocated from the veteran population as well.. I have seen first hand how veterans act when they are getting all of their desires given to them and it’s reprehensible… There is so much funding available to assist the veteran population.. Some work the program and successful attain their erstwhile desires and then there are those whom let their addictions control them and it’s so very sad…
Imagine serving your country and your country not helping you in return.
Did you even watch the video? He refused help.
Did YOU not watch the video he clearly said they put you in a constration camp....where is the help💀@@boboida1
Did YOU not watch the video he clearly said they put you in a constration camp....where is the help💀@@boboida1
@boboida1 that's because the help isn't really help. He said the services are equivalent to going to a concentration camp
This is America!!! Home of hypocrisy and the land of lies!!!
The apathy & snobbiness from those 2 at the desk is disgusting… you can see the pain in that man’s eyes … god bless him & keep him safe throughout his journey of life ❤️
Bougies. They think everyone should have their values, and seek out positions of power so that they can force their values on everyone.
You can tell by the look in his eyes hes sad and just wants to live his life. seems like a good dude
They actually called the cops, the other guy asked if he was paying property tax and that lady asked if he’s paying a utility bill by using the city’s electricity? This is a perfect example of how heartless and cold this society is we live in 7:37
True, and how bad are this people who are privileged and not helping others because they are self centered
😢😢I noticed that as well😢😢
Lady doesn't even understand what a generator is an she's putting him down
This is the world we live in bro…smh… then they want remorse!!!
@@joshmoore1895 Yes, when trying to sound smart made her sound dumb.
He’s not homeless. He built a home. That’s bad ass
Fr
Sweet 😇
But I have to pay rent for my house. He doesn't. He gets everything for free while we foot the bill. Yeah, this guy isn't a problem but this will eventually start happening everywhere. It can't keep happening. This isn't helping anyone. This kills neighborhoods and isn't helping the man himself. All we are doing is enabling homelessness by not doing anything about it. I have no issue with this man personally but why are we allowing this?
Amen
He's so intelligent.. it's the credit holding people back.
Normies hate seeing someone happily living outside of the system.
he is living in the system, just not paying for its benefits
Outside the system is when you live in the woods and hunt for your own food. Not this degeneracy
It’s a generator.
@@penda4054Sure if that makes you feel better
@@cristobalcaro3392dude he's homeless. You're gonna complain that a person who built his little ass house on the street and has next to nothing isn't paying taxes! Disgusting.
Bruh the news really called the cops on this man. Like go do something productive instead of bothering people in financial crisis
That news lady is a terrible human being.
Nope. I’m a man, but life as a woman is dangerous enough without having to walk past homeless shacks to get home.
You people need to rub your two brain cells together and make a cohesive thought.
What if two things are true at the same time?
1. This veteran is nice and needs to be taken care of until he can get on his feet.
2. It’s unacceptable to build a structure, whether it’s on wheels or not, on public or private property without permission.
You don’t get to break the rules because you are homeless.
Agreed
She is asking for dumb questions
Ahh?? He was a mental health issues.. she didn’t grasp it that much
💯 percent
Agreed
I couldnt stop laffing at the fact that she couldnt get a word in edgewise omg im freakin ☠️☠️☠️☠️😭😭😭😂😂😂
How shameful is this news station is to treat this man in such a judgemental way. He's obviously doing his best to hold onto to his dignity in hard circumstances.
Right, the news report was realt shady. The reporter acted like he almost hurt him to say he was a Veteran. Unfortunately, here in our Veterans aren’t treated the best.. Hell the average citizen is treated with respect
One who judges upon one's stature and compares to their own doesn't make it true. It does make true that one is judgemental upon their own stature.
It’s Fox News that’s why. They’re the most racist news station!!! Shame on them!
They think they're journalists. They're just pathetic pundits.
Cuz it's embarrassing that that is more functional than their big studios
If you struggled a lot in life you will understand what this man is going through, I remember myself being homeless in the UAE in 2022 I will never forget that period of my life. May God bless you brother your blessing is coming to find you
The news lady called the cop on this man for rebuilt. And the black female cop have taken pictures of the wood home. That home probably better the the inside safe program
THE LITTLE PLANTS AS DECORATION IS SO PRECIOUS
Yes! I agree.❤
Why does he get to live free, when I have to pay for my grass to cut every week, a plummer, people to clean my pool, fix cracks new roof, termites, of course I'm mad because he's happy with his life being free yes I'm MAD.
@@TerryGreen-ye5ryhe’s a vet
Someone needs to get this man a contracting job asap. He has pure talent and is a veteran. The system has to do better at taking care of its people.
your house is not on your lot.
move now!
yes I'm sure he buys all that stuff
Letting you build your own shack on Hollywood Blvd and set up camp literally anywhere in the state is pretty good at taking care of them
@@TheNaturalwoman221 Uhm I'm sure this won't last long. Glad he can move it
Even if he was connected to the city so what
This is what the government fears we become: Knowledgeable and Independent.
That!
FACTS ❤❤❤
Preach! The government the media the powers that be that are behind all of it. Self reliance and ingenuity is dangerous.
Can this get pinned
True!
People low key admire his courage and creativity..
The fact that he called the police on him is sick. He's homeless, and doesn't want to be surrounded by hundreds of other people in homeless "housing".
They really want a homeless man with a generator to pay a LIGHT BILL and PROPERTY TAX?
That woman was so disgusting, I hope God turns the tables for this man. Really inspiring story.
She's not very intelligent to ask about a city bill and power cords when he said he has a generator.
She turned my liver 😣 that’s a Karen
He's fine. What tables need to be turned? Did you see that house? He's comfortable and knows exactly what he is doing. He's smart and saving so much money. When rich people find loopholes and exploit them people applaud them. That's what he is doing. Exploiting a loophole. He's a genius. He's choosing to live like that. If I wasn't on a lease I would do it in a second.
May the blessings of the bums be bestowed upo you.
And may the luck of the bums shine on you ♥️❤️❤️👍💕💕
I am praying this-- that ‘woman’ is so immature young lifeless and homeless in spirit- it appears…
I love this. These reporters are super judgmental and it’s pretty disgusting how they are treating this man. 😑
Took that outta my mouth
Agreed. Unfortunately most of the “bikes” he works on are stolen and he chops them apart. :(
He called the police!
@@7heOriginalBoss Unfortunately, most of the "land" you live on is stolen and you chop it apart with rent contracts and mortgages.
Yet, these dumb reporters have no smoke with the illegals receiving free benefits! Free healthcare, rent, money and etc! And they want to belittle this fellow Veteran! 😡
He's not bothering anyone, plus he doesn't seem to be a drug addict or have a mental illness. He looks like a great guy who fell in hard times. I really dislike how the female from channel 11 was attacking him. I hope things work out for this young man. God bless him!
So then everyone should start building structures anywhere and everywhere they want, right?
" *where does he get power. Is he just milking it from the city?* "... wow. Way to show your ignorance *Marla*
"Does he take power from the city, because he doesn't get a power bill."
Imagine being a grown adult and not realizing a generator takes gasoline or diesel.
She lives life on easy mode and has no idea what real life is. Everything was given to her on a silver platter.
@@leroygreen9227i despised both desk reporters then? And i despise them today. I was so disgusted with them both i think i had to seek therapy afterwards. Hate at it's finest
Lol I was thinking the same thing , why ask such a question which is so irrelevant to her life
Fox News reporter type of questions lol
Reporter guy is king at dealing with Karens lol. ❤
The news reporters in the station are saying everything to discredit this man .. there are truly horrible people in this world .. the fact he built this says a lot about him.. I WISH THIS BROTHER THE BEST 🤴🏾
I know - probably got generational wealth from their parents lol
Ya I agree with you that news lady is not a good person at all
It would be nice to see Q take her job. He's definitely more relatable and pleasant.
@@phoenixflower1225 Not always…. some of these reporters come from broke butt backgrounds and are just putting on a front…. Believe me, I’ve seen it, they sometimes can be the worst.
He Served are Country to PROCTECT US this news lady sounds so
Marla's never realized that you don't plug a generator into another power source otherwise that defeats the purpose of the generator. It's an independent power source. How did she ever get through journalism school with that lack of critical thinking is astonishing to me.
😂💯
It's LA. Just look pretty and have the reading skills for the teleprompter.
Leave that man alone bro literally what y’all want property tax
The "homeless" guy seems much more polite and sophisticated than the media people. Glad he has his self respect.
Yeah good point.
The anchors are sad ppl.. they need to change shoes for a day.
❤exactly
He doesn’t seem like a drug addict that’s why
@@elle_rellim My exact sentiments….
That house is now worth $3.5M due to it’s location.
He probably AirBnB's it out.
No way it's that much. Probably 1.5 million at most.
@@lulub1433sad that this probably not far off 😂😂
🤣
Big brain move.
Marla is rude and prejudiced. You can see and hear how badly she wanted to demean and "catch" him trying to abuse the system or commit a crime. Terrible behavior when he's clearly one of the few that are trying to do something with themselves.
I'm from India, and you know what. He is trying to live his life and not disturbing anyone other than that Karen and other people in that station. Get a life
Shame on the crew for trying to humiliate him!!! Very distasteful!! She kept nagging “Is he stealing electricity from the city?” No! If you were listening, he clearly said he has a generator! I’m glad he kept his cool and finished with grace and a smile.
Prayers for him! 🙏🏾
Yea,she's Lame....
Yea , she was trying way to hard and made herself look stupid
That's a lie!
@@SB-vb8bw your a lie!
She doesn't even know what a generator is and she has the nerve to question someone who can build?
As the wife of an Army Vet ..i know this is old, but the words homeless and Veterans should never have to be in the same sentence. I pray this brother will remain safe and at peace.❤️🤞🏾
Just don't understand how vets don't have a full ride after serving
As the daughter of an Army vet, I absolutely agree.
@@roodick85 ohhhhh how I wish it were that easy. You are right too. It literally makes me physically ill to see a homeless veteran..( I feel empathy for all homeless..don't get me wrong) but to see our sisters and brothers who have literally given themselves for this country have to be without really breaks my spirit. Don't get me started on the treatment or lack therefore from some of the staff who works for the VA facilities. Not all of them, but I know Veterans who have had terrible experiences and I have personally witnessed rude/disrespectful staff. 💔😩🙏🏾
I never tire of someone reminding us of this truth.
The word homeless shouldn’t be a thing period like what are we doing
I bet this man is in a way better situation now! God bless
Guy seems coherent, constructive, and has a desire to work. I hope his plans to start a business pan out. He didn't trash the area like so many others do, even had decorative plants outside his home.
They tried so hard to embarrass and belittle him! I love his composure.
What composure ? It’s called shameless. I grew up dirt poor and came from a third world country with My mom , unfortunately for me , she passed when I was 18. , I work my azz off, no ged or high school diploma, I’m now 35 and I own my own property. I’m half of this man size . What is this guys excuse ?
They embarrassed theirselves by saying so he’s got a generator and a extension cord does he pay a power bill ? No he steals the power from his generator
@@bbgen-sp6ns That's an awesome story but that's your story. Let this man live his life not by your standards but by his. So entitled to think your way or ways are best.
@@bbgen-sp6ns did you recieve free assistance when you came here? If so for how long? Also what's your nationality because this country has a long standing issue with those of the diaspora and foundational black Americans! Point is enjoy your come up but don't compare your history with ours. Your struggles started in the place you left where I assume the rest of your nation still sits in those struggles!
Clearly hire this man!
You prefer this???. FREEDOM
No matter how the media tried to shame him...HE SHOWED THE MOST ...Intellegence and Class!!😁
And he chose prime real estate too 😆 right on Hollywood Blvd
Ey f it tho right? I mean if there was a place to choose to build it -thats the spot!
Lots of real serious problems in LA and they bother this brave young man..this news station are lacking ideas and compassion.
Well he is in the wrong. He cant call the govt housing as concentration camp. Thats insulting millions of jews who died during ww2
The scumbag reporter said "he" called to Police to see if something can be done? Nothing worse than someone who has a Home complaining about people who have nothing! Unbelievable.
@@hellboundrubber4448 that part pissed me off they act like he robbing or something
His lil house looks cozy & he got flowers on it too. Great ingenuity 👍🏽
This guy is a true entrepreuneur. Somebody hire him.
Those people just made themselves look bad. He’s already in a bad situation. They’re appalled with his resilience and
are mad that he’s getting by in a way within his means and not wallowing in self pity. Good for him that he’s not letting people out of touch with humanity mess around with his sense of dignity.
TOTALLY AGREE👌
Very well said. This is becoming a trend with people. I'm starting to find that people get uncontrollably agitated when they see that someone less fortunate can find joy in simplicity. Yall b safe!
@@joyvzpain1582facts! Like why are people angry that they didn't think of it first? So what if they have to pay for stuff and he didn't? Figure out a way to navigate this system 🤷🏿♀️. Rich people do it all the time....that's how they stay rich. They just mad that the not so privileged classes are figuring out the cheat codes....so now they are worried
Envy doesn't make one better than to make others better than them.
It’s LA and its issues lies in separation of class
God, that female reporter is vile. You can hear the disgust and judgement in her voice. This guy seems so positive and like he has the potential to be a real asset to society. Situations like these are why I wish I was a millionaire 🤣 - I’d find him and pay for his schooling to be an engineer in a heartbeat.
Seriously... she literally scoffs and says "God...OK-" in a disgusted tone (6:16) when the reporter talks about how friendly he is. Nothing but hate and negativity. How insufferable and unprofessional.
He’s milking the city by having a generator and powering his stuff himself? Yeah, all right lady reporter.
Pls post your address so he knows where to go next
@@Existential_Dread literally what I came down here to say, what is wrong with this lady?? Was she dropped on her head as a baby?? Why would this man be stealing power from people when he has a generator...I understand why most people do but he's trying to make the best with what he was givin and still being self sufficient more than I am ATM.
There kinda jealous i think
Cities like LA need more tiny house villages.
The news reporter talking about property taxes is a part of the problem. Go tell the rich people to pay taxes
He won’t be homeless for much longer dude is extremely talented
Amen!
He's also extremely talented at working on people's bikes without their permission. I live in that area. I had my high-end racing bike stolen so I put up flyers all over the neighborhood. The eatery across the street called me saying that they saw him with my bike. I met the police there. I was so lucky that I got it back before he stripped it apart. It took me 2 years to save up for that bike! He also had 11 other expensive bikes stuffed in that "house".
@@origamiartist9065 multi talented see only a matter of time , technically prison counts as housing so regardless my predictions remain accurate.
@@idioticdingus😂😂😂smh
@@origamiartist9065quit lying troll.
He's the most motivated and positive homeless person I have ever seen.
You should've seen me when I was homeless😅 I could sell Jesus sandals
take a look at the short documentaries on 'soft white underbelly' lots of decent good people going through the hardest of times man. its rough
Marla you okay.? 👀
So true
Most homeless ppl do drugs, it doesn't seem like he's on any.
Seems like a resourceful young man that’s going to work his way up. Wishing nothing but the best for him.
The lack of empathy is crazy. He's obviously not a threat. You can tell he's a hardworking, goodhearted person. He made a nice looking house out of decent materials and he even put flowers out front. Listen I don't like the homeless problem either but they're still humans. We should not target homeless people who are actively trying to improve themselves. He is obviously not a problem. To me he seems like a much better person than that god awful newscaster lady. You can literally see the disgust on her face all because she saw someone she viewed as "lower" than her.
This interview is just pitiful. These people show no understanding nor compassion towards this man's plight. I thank this man for his service.
Very distasteful, and unorganized. They must ran put stories and wanted to bother this guy
Disconnected from reality…
@Triangle Pyramid I wanted to spit on that bitch
He’s an Army Veteran find him a little piece of land that he so bravely fought for and put his house on it.
God bless you Q
FACTS ✊🏿
The US government used to actually do that .Should start it back up.
The VA actually does find services and housing for you. If you are on low to no income while in the military, the VA offers you free housing and a federal job to get you on your feet, the housing is temporary until a nearby military installation has housing available or whenever you feel ready to take a VA house loan. The only rules you must follow while spieling with the VA is that you must not be on any form of federal illegal drugs or prescriptions. Normal homeless housing is terrible and is worse than living on the streets, VA homelessness housing is a lot better and actually treats you as a human being.
Right 👍🏽
No one has fought a good war since world war 2
Interviewing the coffee shops workers was an astoundingly dumb idea hahaha.
Marla is milking someone else, what a rude lady out there...
The female reporter kept trying to exploit the gentleman asking about the usage of the city's electricity. The male reporter kept ignoring her, then finally answered her by saying no. Great job and good luck to this gentleman. He's no longer homeless.
& on the low the interviewer caught her doing that plus didn’t want to make her look clueless because he knew generator’s take gasoline 6:02
Notice that a lot with women reporters. The men will usually sort of defend eachother unconsciously in certain situations where women are trying to unnecessarily vilify men
I like how Phil ignored Marla’s irritating question about the electricity and ignored it a 2nd after he said “I’m listening” 😂 I respect Phil for respecting Q
Phil called the cops on him earlier in the piece.
She does not even understand that a generator “generates” electricity using fuel! 🤦🏻♀️
@@LoveProWrestling right lol he was just scared of Q to ask
@@AN-jw2oe lol she thought he was milking the city
She's nasty and ignorant! I'm glad he ignored her!
If shit hits the fan I’m sticking with “Q” and not those phonies with the mic. Those talking heads can’t hide his genius and resilience. Trust me, Q is worth 100 times their weight in gold.
Good for him. I pray he prospers and no harm comes to him. Let those that wish and attempt bad on him to never succeed in bring him down.
As a 10 year Army veteran myself, one thing I can tell you is that the Army does a good job teaching you how to survive as a homeless person. Kudos to my fellow veteran brother. "Improvise, adapt, and overcome."
They do that on purpose so they can discard you when they are done with you and it is simply criminal that we as a country allow it to happen.
The thing is , this guy doesn't sound like or act like some homeless person on drugs or the like . He's got potential and needs the encouragement to move forward.
He/ any vet shouldn't have to be homeless, they should automatically set you up. With all the money they get!
Facts
Everyone who serves should be paid the same as the president 400 grand every year for life!!!
The lack of compassion and ignorance is astounding. This man served his country. He provides for himself by fixing bikes and scooters. He's not blocking the walkway. He respectful and polite. There were people who were ok with him being there. Those anchors go to their homes at night blessed with all those things and yes they earn a salary because of news reports such as this. They believe they are paid what they are worth because of their experience, knowledge and skills. Why isn't that same monetary value placed on our veterans with their knowledge, expertise, experience and skills. There is no monetary value high enough for someone risking their lives for their country and it's freedoms, something those anchors wouldn't have if individuals like this gentleman hadn't served.
The world is full of idiots, it's for you to be the one to identify and when to use your smarts.
way better than someone living in a tent where they can get hurt or they're exposed to the public and elements. dude has the right idea for his problem
This homeless guy needs a job in construction he clearly has skills!!!
The anchor woman concerned about where his power is coming from. She gets to go home tonight and trying to get him kicked off a sidewalk is wild
People don't think about what they say, whatever instantly comes to mind will be said even if it's not entirely true.
She doesn’t know what a generator does.
The fact that he keeps it so clean and even have little plants outside is cool…..
Let him build home in front of your house.
@@johnbrookhaven7134 he’s not building in front of anyways home .

@@KSWKREW Anyone's*
@What's on your mind? Actions are louder than words.
that lady is so talented she didn’t know if what a generator does
Small people hate seeing others succeed
The 2nd news broadcaster could use some compassion. How in the hell is he going to pay taxes, and he's homeless! He'd be taking power from the City if he stayed in one of those shelters! I'm proud of him! He built all of that with no money and donated materials! He has no running water, and he's not asking for charity. He's trying to work odds and end jobs to get his own money!Give him a break!
💯
I agree!!!
The world doesn't stop for those who trip, it only stops if one gets back up.
when he buys anything he's paying taxes just like everyone else. leave the man alone
Plus I’d much rather pay taxes for the unhoused to have electricity than paying for wars abroad
This lady is the most coldhearted person 🤦♂️
If she knew how cold she was then indeed she'd be coldhearted. But since she's not aware at all, she is indeed heartless beyond coldhearted.
She's the appalling one, NOT the homeless man. The other newsmen had a smirk on his face, as if this situation was amusing to him
She was disgusting! Anyone can end up in this situation!
@@toyafoster3173 yoooo fr watch the WEF everyone should be pissed 😤 that they run everything and just hear how they view themselves smh 🤦♂️
Most women are.
“It’s not okay that’s it gotten to this point” EXACTLY👏🏽🤷🏽♀️he’s safe warm and happy I have no concerns
A common sign that people watch the news is that they hate homeless people. If Jesus was walking down the street they would call Him a loser also.
Marla needs a lesson on empathy, compassion, and generators. This man is truly admirable. I hope he’s doing well! 💜
Generator lesson's🤣👏👏👏👏
The most educated are the most dumbest😂🤣🤣🤣
Oh is that her name Marla, Marla,Marla...!?
she sounds so dumb with that question 😂
She's a Karen. Probably the manager of an HOA🤣
The flower plant on the outside of his home made me emotional. This guy deserves a good life, I hope someone in La can hire him so he can show the world his gifts. God bless
He doesn’t want to be hired. He wants to start his own business. That’s the problem. We’re so far gone that people get mad when others try to live for themselves. Like “Whaaaatt??? You’re not giving all your money to corporations and the government? You’re not sacrificing your life to make wealthy corporations even wealthier so their kids can also be wealthy while yours stay poor? You’re not feeding a machine that will eat you alive when it has nothing else to take from you? Thats not fair! I do it, you should have to, too!” The reality is what has become our norm is extremely fucked up and corrupt, it’s a disgusting perversion of what human life should be like. We’re treated like objects, not living beings. And people want to put all the nice faces on all these different monsters we’ve incorporated as normal but they’re not nice, they’re not pretty, they’re not good. We have become soulless. We need to get back to a lifestyle where we can have small communities where you can do something good for yourself and take care of yourself and your loved ones without anyone else feeling like they deserve part of your income for nothing, really. The government is supposed to serve us. But it hasn’t in hundreds of years. We have been enslaved to it. It’s proven that it’s a bad system. It’s time to move on and come up with something better. Something healthier, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, physically, in every sense. This isn’t it. We can do much better.
He doesn't want to work he said that in the video. It has nothing to do with him not having things available. He wants to live how he wants with no rules or thoughts of his neighbors.
No he said he worked for himself.... @@chrisbuckley1785
Why does he deserve a good life? You have no ideal who he is or what his background is. You don't know if he's hurt people, killed, robbed. You don't know anything about him. But some flowers hanging tells you automatically he deserves something.
@@chrisbuckley1785these ppl are delusional. He won’t admit the reason why he won’t accept any opportunity is because he won’t give up drugs
The two news anchors' snootiness really highlights the problem with America. They don't even consider that this man is a veteran with goals and aspirations for a better life. They just see him as a leech on society.
Hope he is doing well. He served our country. Mentally he probably went through a lot. He sees building is a form of therapy. Pray he has his own lot or land to build what he desires.
He is a human being...and deserves to live with dignity
Socal qnd the rest of california are going to become fucking slums in the next 20 years. It's disgusting. Why do the people with no money always try to live in the most expensive places? 😒
If these people actually wanted to do anything with their lives and not just breed more useless leaches they would move to the thousands of cheaper places to live in the US.
Instead they leach off of government services.
@neal cassady I don’t think that much ppl have the capabilities to do that 😂
@neal cassady yeah and non of them pay property tax... While the ones who pay property tax are the ones paying for the city cleaners to clean up their trash.
He can get a damn job and pay rent like the rest of us too.
Not for free. He doesn't wanna work and that whole structure is built from stolen goods
This guy has built himself a proper home without any true resources. Living better than some people paying rent. Kudos to him and best wishes!
He has lots of friends that would love to build a shanty where you live. Please post your address so they can enjoy your kindness and virtue signaling.
@@reddiver7293 how is that virtue signaling all they said was good job 😹
@@donaldamos5326 Really? Never finished high school, huh?
If he is self employed, then he can find some roommates, and pay rent. And if he is able to build that, he can hold a job. Remember he chose to live in this expensive state. Pay your taxes.
@@sk8fm448 he is an intelligent veteran. Have respect. If you served than you know it's not easy once tours our over.
Leave The Guy Alone....he ain't robbing and disturbing no one..
love his attitude and love his ingenuity
The man is very smart and much wiser than the TV crew. Protect him at all cost.
💝!!!!!!
Totally! Those weren't reporters that were trying to be lol. Omg they were so bad at talking. I was like, Q needs to go, he's got better things to do
You say that now…what if he moved on the sidewalk in front of your house? 😅
@@edwardp8927 he’s not in front of no one house so next!
No
The fact that this man is smiling, happy, humble, and in good spirits, regardless of his situation, really upsets evil people.
Tiffany
If that ain't the truth! Well said. Miserable humans for you. I hope this man makes it in life. He helping himself as a man should.
Truth
Not really. Just the fact that if your day to day person would built something like this on their own property city inspector will force you to tear it down. Everyone has to follow the rules.
But I do believe this guy carry himself with a positive attitude. He deserves to be given a chance to get a job.
@@DonJulio510 what law is he breaking? What code is he violating? Other than people's feelings which have nothing to do with the law or city codes
@@ms.international anything built on public or private property needs a permit.
Nice job Fox, calling the cops on this guy who's just trying to get by. That's fine if you don't agree with where he made his home but to go out of your way to try and harass him is pretty low, even for Fox.
It's a national embarrassment that we can't even house our veterans
I'm glad that this man is working on his life no matter what type of housing he is currently in. The fact that he built his own house says that he is determined to be successful.
He refused proper help because he doesn't want to comply with the terms and conditions set, instead he chose to break even more laws by occupying public space and not paying taxes to the town council. He is a thief.
A lot of those shelters are abusive and degrading. Many go and then decide they never want to go back cause what's a shelter if you're treated like dirt inside. They'd rather have their freedom and make their own way. If they didn't and took assistance from the government, you'd call them thieves for that too.@@firedup692
@@firedup692Taxes are theft. That's why we had the Revolutionary War. This man is showing us what the American Dream is supposed to be.
Rather have this than the hellscape that is San Francisco at the moment!
@@firedup692 you have no clue what the your talking be the ones saying the most bullsh
@@firedup692 womp womp
He stands straight, kept his language clean. And its amazing that he still had ambition and selfworth that he’s planning to pick himself up instead of expecting assistance from others. He doesnt come off as a bad person. Just a victim of bad situations and consequence..
And why is that woman so condescending to the guy??
Simple ...cuz he's black.
@@DNDNONAME 😑🤦🏽♂️
Some people are just upset to see others live happily outside of the norm.
Preach
because she is a karen.
I like the homeless guy.
The problem with the USA, is that there is no housing for the poor, not everyone can rent or pay a mortgage. In other countries there’s housing for the poor. A room is rented on the rooftop or small apartments are rented at a low price but here in USA THE RED TAPE THE REGULATIONS THE TAXES AND JUST GREED DOESN’T ALLOW FOR POOR LIVING IN A DECENT CITY OR TOWN.
Even the reporter couldn't contain his laughter when she was asking how a generator works lmfaoo. Meanwhile she's the one reporting news and this guy's on the streets? Crazy
That female news reporter’s ignorance kills me🤣 but she is a city girl who probably never had to struggle or been through natural disasters. This man has a made a way for her to sit pretty on camera in her ignorance! Not once did they thank him for his service or acknowledge how terribly we’ve shown our appreciation for his sacrifices. I’m thankful for the kind people who still exist.
Exactly
He probably did some menial job in the military, the only ones who really sacrificed anything are the actual combat vets. Which this guy is definitely not. You live on the streets, especially as a vet, because you CHOOSE to. You may not like to hear it, but these people can all get something called a JOB, this guy has mental health issues and wants to be a gypsy, he needs to get off the public right of way.
I couldn't agree more
She has had an Enabled life
The higher your climb the harder your fall.. I pray she never falls
Even when they struggle they claim they're better than
I want her to get cursed so she can lose her job and get homeless
They were expecting a totally different person. He was respectful, honest and upfront. They were trying to find something wrong with him. Her question, "where is he getting power from". His question, "is he paying taxes". Not one question about him as a person.
AND HAS NO IDEA WHAT A GENERATOR IS,,SAD,,BUT SHE UP THERE REPORTING,,,!!!!
@@murielodette2995 exactly what I thought
@@murielodette2995 A lot of these modern journalists are "dumb blondes". They know very little and are hired because they look good on camera, which is good for ratings.
Yeah the only real difference between him and the people living in tents is resourcefulness. If the city really wanted to eliminate homelessness they wouldn't allow anyone to live in tents on the street.
@@coryc9040 or people stop being lazy and get jobs
Homeless person isn’t “homeless” if he built a home for himself. That’s an independent individual
love this guy's spirit, everyone can learn from this. Keep on keeping on!
They tried to humiliate him, but he kept his head high👏
Cant keep ur head high living on the streets...bad decisions keep being made
Lmfaoo everyone is just a few paychecks away from this Jimmy. Have some compassion 🙄 the place isnt an eye sore he could have trash everywhere and it’s much better looking than a tent regardless whether he’s here on his own poor choices or not he’s a human being he is gonna exist somewhere I’d rather see this on the street outside my business then a bunch of shit piled up 🙃🙃 but sure go ahead and judge him and the struggles you’ve never had 👍🏼
@@nicolerobinson5839 THANKS in JESUS NAME
All hate is self hate same as love
Liberals
This interview was disrespectful and he was so gracious and humble to even entertain this foolishness. Someone will see this and help him in a real mighty way. Keep going young man! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Somebody but not you. Typical liberals.
Fr they rude
The foolishness is building his toy hut in the middle if the city on the side walk. Take the help. Get off the street. Get a job.
It's snobby ppl like that that would end up in the same sh*t situation!
News Anchors may as well be aliens, they are so out of touch
I think everyone should live like this. This is so nice.
Veteran left on the street and has to literally build his own shelter to survive, "but what about the property tax?" These news reporters are A-holes
He served this country as did so many others and this is the thanks he gets. No veteran should ever be treated this way. EVER.
He's refused services what else can be done?
No decent human being it doesn't matter that you are a vet. Human beings deserve better period
I agree, however I also think that by doing this he has changed how people think. He is a true influencer.
If your service is worth less than a few tax free millions in your account, they can keep that patriotic bs.
@@meghanferrari6501 What are "services"? I will bet they are trying to send him to a shelter.
The reporters are more worried about him not paying property taxes and electricity bills yet he is a homeless vet!
Yes they are disgusting!
Vets aren't important to them, except in election speeches.
She annoyed tf out of me with her entitled arrogant attitude
Who gives a f*ck . Someone needs to tear that sh*t down. Either pay property taxes or arrest him and he can have a free room in jail
and she kept asking about bills when he uses a generator lol. And as far as im concerned, this is just an advanced tent. Why not make the other homeless pay property tax with that mentality. Some people are just so entitled, like that reporter off live camera
The women reporter had no idea how a generator works lol. She was so confident that he was stealing power
Just building a house on a sidewalk with no repercussions is just insane to me. I get that he's a vet, and I appreciate his service.......but this is just nuts.
