Please don’t discard the homeless.
I was homeless for a year. I have never touched a hard drug, never been arrested, didn’t get myself fired from my job, and never hurt anyone. I just came from a broken home and had lots of unhealed trauma that I didn’t deal with. Then, the company I worked for went out of business, my dad committed suicide and my brother died of an OD. After that, my wife left me. My psyche couldn’t take it. I fractured in significant ways. This all culminated with me ending up in my car full time. It’s better than a tent, but it still had no heat and no AC. Winter Nights were literally below 20 degrees F and the summer nights were hot and humid. Sleeping in a hatchback also had its own challenges, and exacerbated my mental and physical health issues in several ways. I would have trouble sleeping, which exacerbated my mental health struggles significantly, and I woke each day with new aches and pains from the cramped sleeping space.
In winter, it would be so cold that frost would form on the inside of my windows. In summer I would toss and turn as sweat poured out of me. I didn’t have many friends anymore, and nobody to offer me shelter. I didn’t speak to my family, because of the abuse and neglect from them in my past, so everything I went through, I battled and faced alone.
Along the way, I would have other roadblocks pop up. Kidney stones. Have you ever passed a kidney stone in a public bathroom? The screams of pain you let out don’t go unnoticed.
I also found a lump on a testicle during this time. I had to go in multiple times for ultrasounds, the first round of which were inconclusive. I would have to go to the dr, scared and anxious about my future, get tested, told it was still inconclusive and that I would need t come back for more testing, and then I would have to take the fear and uncertainty of that and just go back to my car, to try and sleep as the snow fell down and the tears ran down my face, and the crushing weight of loneliness and fear sucked my will away. But although, I wanted to, I did not quit.
I eventually found my way out, but only because someone took a chance on me, and allowed me to rent a room despite me having a bad credit score and being fresh off the streets. Every single shelter or parking place for transients living in vehicles was full and had ridiculously long wait lists. And since I am a single male, women children and families took up all available spots, even if they were not first in line. So I could never get help with shelter.
I was denied food assistance because I was told by the first case worker that since I paid for my own phone and insurance, I was technically paying my own bills without a FT income, which classified me as “living above my means.” To get assistance, I was always told I worked too much, or too little. It’s amazing how hard it was to get help.
Emergency help was available if I felt completely suicidal or what have you, but I didn’t need those services. I just needed a regular therapist. But I couldn’t find one in my area that took new patients. Health care and especially mental health care in the US can be a challenge when you are poor and have disabilities. I didn’t mention I am also autistic and have severe OCD and ADHD.
Trying to solve my issues of finding work and saving money and staying warm and working on my mental and physical health at the same time was incredibly taxing and took a toll on my body. Ribs and vertebrae would pop out of place all the time. It seriously did a number on my back and shoulders, in addition to the mental toll it took.
But not once did I steal from anyone, blame anyone else for my life, hurt anyone, never did I leave trash or garbage lying around. I was homeless, but I refused to be careless of others and their property.
Good luck everyone. I hope we all make it.
Yeah, the idea that people in shitty situations are there because of poor choices has crippled our society from actually helping those people get out of their predicaments. No one wants to help someone if it is all their own fault for [insert whatever scapegoat behaviour best suits your biases]. Many folks in this comment section are even using it to justify the treatment of the homeless here. It's puritanical bullshit and it needs to end.
I don’t know where you are in the world, but I am a recent retired veteran of the military and I see things over this past month that have shaken me. Always know that there is help and I’m reminding myself as well… DM me if you need to I’m here brother
From one Matt to another
Hope you're doing well ✨
You are strong. You seem like the kind of person who would make a wonderful dad , capable of moving mountains . I hope you find some humans that keep your energy and motivation up.
You exist and you live. What you contribute to this world is your choice, you are free .
Love yourself, I admire your inner strength. Good will come from this.
I've been homeless and people can truly be evil. It's rare to find someone so kind and loving
Hey Aussie Man, a big shout out to you for doing this video. Well done for calling this dumb crap out and using your channel to make people aware. I love watching your usual videos, taking the piss out of people etc but this is a real life hero right there being arrested for having humanity and showing the rest of us what being a nice human being is all about. I don’t know much about the US but that right there says that there is something rotten in their system. Cheers to you for calling it out mate! From FNQ Australia.
Man this hit me in the feels, I was homeless for the winter last year and would of died if it wasn't for awesome people like Norma... Much love and respect to her 💯
Is it okay if I ask you a question I wanted to ask homeless people? What small thing that I can give you (and that I can get on the spot, when I'm already in the city) that would actually help you? Is it a coat, a bag of rice, clean water, hygiene products or something I didn't even think of? Also, is it offensive to give a homeless person a toothbrush?
Thanks :)
@@sonjakarl3454 to be honest, anything helps especially if it's in the colder months. I was more happy just to have a conversation, the gear and goods was a bonus. For sure coats, blankets,socks and underwear are the most things needed, things like toothbrush and toothpaste, deodorant and soap are a plus. I appreciate your question as well as your intentions. Sometimes life knocks us down but we fall to get back up.
@@WARPATH_45 Thank you for answering! I'll definitely keep that in mind.
I'm always a bit shy when interacting with homeless people because I don't want them to feel like they're living off of me. I want them to keep their integrity if you know what I mean (English is not my first language). It must be a hard thing to face the fact that you cannot provide yourself with the bare necessities anymore.
So, what I wanted to say is thanks - your response really made me feel better about approaching people :)
Why were you homeless? could you just not afford a place or was it drugs alcohol or just your mental state?
@@TomTomXIV the rent went up 15% (California) and I just couldn't afford it, I had no where to go and couldn't get a place I could afford until a friend helped me out and let me move in to his place in February right before I had to have brain and neck surgery.
I'm literally at loss for words. Meanwhile someone in that town is selling drugs, driving drunk, beating their wife etc... but let's arrest a old lady for feeding homeless people? wow
Real criminals don't get arrested they get elected to congress.
you know making drugs illegal has exacerbated the situation by making is so homeless people have criminal charges and now cant work even more? do the same as the government did in prohibition. made it legal and took the money from the mafia. why not do the same with cartels? Most drugs have a legal form we just dont care.
America, land of the free
This is not an unusual story. This happened to the lady who ran " Toys for tots".
Seems pretty heartless and mean, yeah
I'm disgusted with my country because of this story AND because this is the first I'm hearing about it, from Australia! Thanks for bringing this to our attention.
It was all over Canadian news when it happened too. =/
I saw this on one of those terrorist lib channels like farron balanced. I dont know what your problem is. The politicians are all decent christians that are refusing to feed the hungry. just like jesus would want.
This is nothing compared to what the US does with the homeless daily.
There's way more to be disgusted about than this!!
Use ya brain. Allergies, razor blades, poison.
We need a fund raiser for Norma.
I agree, Then she can feed and pay to feed as many as she want
@anekedutoit3567 That’s still a violation of the city ordinance, it would still be illegal UNLESS she gets a permit.
Spoke it like a true bootlicker
Thank god for people like Norma. That women is an angel
She's the reason I, and my friends happily, valutneered to serve my country. Truly doing God's work
The biggest crime is that this was almost not a story.....imagine if that journalist wasn't there that day to listen to her story.
I’m a fan of the direction you’re taking things in, mate. You still make it funny, but I like seeing the fire and the empathy.
he does seem to swing to the left more often though
@@cplcabs yes, but on this one he is so right.
The institute for justice picked that case up!
@@chrise842 I agree and it is likely some leftist SJW snowflake loon is the one who reported this lady.
Internet is when you listen to an American story by an Australian in Europe - love it
It's an incredible tool to learn and opens up the world. I have a very shelteredblife being disabled but the Internet has brought the world to me.
Team Norma. As someone who was homeless due to poor life choices in my younger years, it was people like Norma feeding, talking, and providing help that helped me get sober. I probably wouldn’t be alive today without people like her. 18 years sober. Keep it up Norma and thanks for sharing this story with us OzzyMan. #TeamNorma#GodsWork#Weareallhuman
Thanks for sharing your story. You took ownership of your situation and showed incredible strength to improve yourself. Thank God for people like Norma. I wish you the best sir.
The city council and lawmakers should be ashamed of themselves and step aside for people who actually have a shred of decency.
It is sad, but if she feeds homeless there in a park, that’s made for kids, and remember not all of the homeless safe to be around
@@turokmakto9033 well, turn out the lights and call the cops then !
@@turokmakto9033 People with homes are also a danger to others. So lets keep those with and without homes away from public areas. Sorted.
@@turokmakto9033 Most are harmless. It's anti-human to assume someone is harmful because they are homeless. The greatest criminals with the greatest suffering caused in human history wore and wear suits.
Not feeding the homeless is what jesus would want... and it IS what trump wants. New Jesus.
This woman should be praised for giving people hope rather than to be punished for doing a good deed. The world needs more people like norma.
Ozzy Man, I am a police dispatcher in the US. People absolutely call us to rat out citizens for doing silly crap we would normally not care about. Especially when it comes to the homeless people. There are people that can't stand seeing the homeless on a street corner and they'll call us to ask them to move along. It's sad and pathetic. And trust me, there are people that call so much about stupid crap, we roll our eyes when we see their names come up on the caller ID.
Your Police Administration needs to warn this type of person in writing that they are in danger of becoming a vexatious caller.....
basically wasting Police time....
How’s that song go; calling it your job doesn’t make it right.
Get a better job than being a cop. For now you just following broken system and you being laughed at. Sorry to say that but being a cop in 2022 is just pathetic. People never respect you and wish you the worse - including me who got arrested for helping homeless. Uniform used to mean something - now its a sign of a weak and brainless person who wears it, just well trained like a dog. Recieving a call that somebody feeds homeless is one thing - BUT MAKING A CONSCIOUS DECISSION TO ACTUALLY ARREST SOMEONE FOR THAT IS UP TO COPS THEMSELVES.
@@JacPac
Note: he said he was a Police Dispatcher.
Unlike in days gone past (by about 30 years) the dispatcher/call takers are usually civilians...not trained Police Officers.
These civilians have no discretion and MUST enter every job that comes in on the phone.....so they can retain their own job.
The discretion devolves to the front line cop....who often appears to be a knuckle dragger these days...
If it's not against the law are you allowed to tell people it's not. I've often thought about these calls and wether or not the dispatch could just tell people to kick rocks if it's not illegal.
This is more common then the world knows…here in the US. Unauthorized & repeated generosity…without permission.::is becoming a law enforcement issue. Even churches keep abreast of town officials & cops (when having a series free of BBQ’s or breakfasts)
I can’t even wrap my head around the fact that someone can be arrested for feeding homeless, hungry people.
Have you ever heard about feeding stray animals? What if one is a bear? The city understands.
Hey! those were good decent christians that didn't want to feed the hungry!
@@dangol6848 so people are bears?
@@dangol6848 what a stupid comparison. 😂
all bad laws are just words on paper until violently enforced by police.. ACAB
She has me crying. When I was a cop, we had people who would call us on stupid stuff like this. One of them was on the town's council. In fact, she would call to complain about kids playing on the tennis courts. Tennis courts that only she and her friends used occasionally. I would actually ignore them most of the time. The times I couldn't, I would just talk to the person or people they are complaining about and get them to move on. It sounds like this cop doesn't want to arrest her but is being made to do it. I worked for a small town, so I could get away with it more. Some of our laws are just stupid.
No he could have looked the other way. And he chose not to. He’s just as bad as his supervisor.
@@whome4642 No he had a job and a duty that he swore to do. He has to do his job whether he likes it or not
@@whome4642 Ignorant take. What happens if he ignores it? He gets written up or loses his job, and they send someone else to do it. Possibly someone who would have no problem cuffing her. That's not better.
Fucking order followers are the problem!
Bullhead is tiny
Thank you for commenting on this Ozzy Man! In many places in the United States, it is illegal to help people in need. It is a crime to be poor. People who try to help are called communists. Yet some politicians give tax breaks to people who pay no taxes.
What makes me most disgusted is that many people here (USA) LOVE to say they are Christian yet turn their backs on the most vulnerable in our society.
This is insanity. I racked my brain, tried to put myself in the shoes of the people making laws like these, trying to think of a single fucked up reason for such laws but I'm coming up empty. Well, not empty. Sadly. But what I'm coming up with is pure distilled 200 proof evil. Not even ignorance. We're well past that. Just evil.
Your ignorance is astonishing. Those "people who pay no taxes" pay the lion's share of taxes in the US. They've paid more in taxes in a single year than you will earn in 10,000 lifetimes. You know who doesn't pay any taxes? 57% of the American population.
It's not a crime to help the homeless. The laws in the city state: city ordinance that prohibits privately prepared food from being served in a “non-social gathering” without a permit. She wasn't arrested for feeding the homeless, she was arrested because she didn't have a permit.
You people believe slanted journalism like your life depends on being severely misinformed.
@@iwasadeum Awwwwww.. poor wealthy tax payers. It goes with the territory.
Won’t somebody please think of the poor wealthy people!
What an angel Norma is. Even has the strength to hold her anger towards the heartless and shitty officers/government officials who are enforcing this "Ordinance". She's also the first person who almost made OzzyMan tear up... :'(
I don't think you can blame the officers. They had a job to do, and they did it as kindly as possible. No handcuffs, carefully helping her in the car. I'm not saying it was right, but the cops had to follow the law, as stupid as the law was.
I have been a cook my whole adult life currently finishing a 25-year stint as a military cook. Food is moral it lets people who are having a hard time know that someone cares and things can get better. My plan in retirement is to volunteer as a cook and put smiles on faces like this legend. Very inspiring and humbling stick to your guns Norma and thank you.
*c
Cooks are the literal life-savers that keep society (and the military) afloat. Whether it's troop readiness and combat effectiveness or bringing people together to share life experiences, nourishment and caring, food is some of the most powerful medicine for our souls and society that exists. When you hit retirement, I wish you all the best as you embark on a new and fulfilling chapter of your life.
From one veteran to another... thank you for your service. Salute!
I have a feeling all the legends on the internet is going to make this a "PR nightmare" for the city of Bullhead and its authorities! Go Norma! ✌️
Where are the SJW of Anonymous when you need them?
As a building block to get OUT of homelessness, the person has to have food. If you don't have food there is no way to find a job or have the energy to work a job.
😉
You can't email the mayor, city council or police department in Bullhead. Just checked. Fucking hell
@@thejudgmentalcat hmmm sou ds like a good way to end up with a angry protest on thier steps but hey im just american
I've often wondered, if we said we were having a picnic, what could they do
Way to go Norma!! The world needs more good souls like Norma.... Arizona, shame on you!
You, good sir, are an absolute legend! This made me cry.
Thank you so much for using your clout to call out these awful hypocrites and for supporting a superhero like badass sweetheart Norma 🤗
My ex-wife's dad & his girlfriend would feed the homeless once a week in Las Vegas. I helped out quite a bit. It's a selfless act of compassion, how in the hell can this be illegal?
Location
Because it isn't actually helping them. There are multiple agencies in states and cities to get homeless people the help they need with underlying conditions - mental illness or addiction. Feeding them (or worse, giving them money) means they can avoid those agencies altogether, or in other words, take the easy way out and in so doing prolong their homelessness.
No permit to hold such an event on public park property, no proper food handling license
What's been left out of all the stories on this is the part where she was warned numerous times that she could legally do it almost literally anywhere else.
@@HandGrenadeDivision so homeless people should only exist in major cities? Most poverty and homelessness in America is in rural America. My guess is that forcing the homeless away from familiar areas is twofold, first it makes residents feel better by seeing as an urban (read black) issue, and therefore not their concern, and secondly so rural hypocrisy can be weaponized to attack "big city liberals".
What a great story to tell.Thanks for keeping it real Ozzie man!
It's incredible the amount of food waste restaurants produce. I worked at a pizza parlor and we used to discard all the messed up pizzas. So I started taking the pizzas home and handing them out to the homeless or beggars. Who cares if they're addicts or make poor decisions, that's not your place to decide. If you see someone in need and you have the means to help, do it.
The city owes her an award for her exceptional community service. What a noble soul.
And they should help her set up a feeding center at a designated location, but not the community park
Yup and her award comes with a free stay for 120 days in the local jail . F*ckin pathetic!!!
shut up, she broke the law.
@@megaflux7144 thank you for making the world a worse place 😁
Or at least if it is at the park, that it be with the proper licensing and permits, like it was explained to her several times
Thanks Ozzy Man! For using your reach for good... nobody deserves this kind of treatment.
Kudos to Norma! What a good soul ❤️
Never stop Norma! You're such a beautiful soul!!!
In addition to the whole " feeding hungry people " I really question if violation of city ordinance is an arresting offence. City ordinance is not law. Giving people food is not a crime
IDK AZ, but I was also trying to parse out what kind of offense it was. Sometimes one just has to take a misdemeanor on the right cheek to make a point.
Not to defend it in any way, but the laws are generally about large gatherings of people without proper permits. It can and has been a safety issue. The problem is that 50 people in a parking lot feeding homeless people is hardly the same as a couple hundred people having an impromptu street party with booze, or massive groups of people blocking streets or other public spaces. Sadly there's enough people out there who only see the letter of the law and simply don't have the empathy or mental capability to understand the spirit of the law.
@@KhronicD gatherings without permits??? We don't need their permission
@@cautious1343 unfortunately, in most places, you do. Depends how many people are there.
@@KhronicD I'm trying to get to the heart of the matter. If you allow the alleged authority to control you ... if your mindset is that of a sheep, which is what they have worked hard to accomplish, then go ahead and play by their rules. How weak and pathetic the public has become. Boiling frogs.
"We will get rid of the homeless!"
"By providing them shelter, and a place to learn skills so they can get jobs?"
"No, we will starve them to death."
Or give them a bus ticket to California and then blame liberal politicians for the homeless problem.
@@briangarrow448 The Homeless is a Multi-Billion dollar business in California; when you have that much money involved in "Fixing the problem" then I think it's safe to say that there are too many people invested in making sure the problem doesn't get fixed because their own livelihood depends on it not going away.
Lol obviously you have zero experience in working w homeless. Go volunteer for a few months then come back and edit your comment
@@briangarrow448 Is that why Gavin Newsom spent $600/ plate for himself at the French Laundry during Wu Flu lockdowns?

Stop reaching
Try harder.
The world is going to have to realize that it is an easier go for ones that help each other than to beat down the people who do help. There are times when people just need a help up to recover. All the best to Norma. Thanks Ozzy for bringing this to light. cheers.
She’s a saint!! Love her ❤️❤️
God bless her for helping those in needs !
She should throw a party & invite 100 of her "friends" every week. Print formal invitations & distribute them among the homeless. A celebration of compassion & community! ✌🏼
Also poverty and giving up!🎉
I was thinking she should just bring birthday hats and say its one of the homeless' b days. It probably is close to one anyway.
oops, I mean, You criminal lib! always breaking laws!
This is like the "sex work isn't illegal if you film it!" bit. Fuck reality.
That actually would work, and I love it. We truly need Norma to get in on this loophole.
@@Hahahahaaahaahaa yup. That one always makes me realize how f'd up American sex laws are.
I was homeless for a year, it was people like norma that kept me alive! Here in Baltimore its rough but its not illegal to feed the homeless. Thank the lord and people like norma to allow me to become another law abiding citizen and with a job, pay... Taxes
Well done for getting through a tough time. And long may your empathy last in the face of bizarre laws and an uncaring system.
Its not illegal to feed the homeless anywhere in the USA, in most places though it is illegal to distribute food without a permit and thats for public safety especially since people all over the USA have intentionally poised people while distributing food.
@@UrialTheDarkOne Bullshit. She said it in the video. She can cook food for a 100-person party but not for 20 homeless people. It's not the distribution that has been criminalized, it's who is being fed.
Stop defending authoritarian classism. Norma and her friends are able to organize a meal for homeless people. If the government of Bullhead, AZ, cared about those people, they would, too. But they don't want to. Ergo, they activated the uniformed apparatus of government to dissuade charitable outreach.
You know that's the truth.
Paying taxes as a good thing? To pay thug cops?
Norma was told she could have a party in the park up to 100 ppl feeding them. As long as there were NO homeless people at the party. No way around denying human kindness. We live in a sick World. This is Bullshit City, I’ve called that for 31 yrs. We don’t even have street lights lol
Thank you Ozzy man, this story needs to be shared.
Thank you for sharing this story. Kinda makes my blood boil to see good-hearted Norma be treated like that.
I live in Arizona resident, and I am so disgusted by this event. It's unbelievable to see the level of inhumanity being shown here. Sadly, the attitudes that were expressed in this town are probably not that uncommon in Arizona. Fortunately we're not all like that. And thank you Ozzy for becoming perhaps the most unlikely voice for such stories. Well done mate!

@@scoldingwhisper I really hope you will fly down to Los Angeles and see for yourself (unrelated tourist tip: Go up and around to the left of the HOLLYWOOD sign, the trail down in steep but the backdrop selfie is awesome). Now on the subject of homelessness in US, believe it or not, the majority of homeless in our area choose that lifestyle and they are the first to tell u that. Come and see, talk w them, check out the missions and feeding programs, talk to local NGO's and govt agencies. I suspect you will change your opinion

@@Mofi357 He probably lives in that mansion. Homeless people want to be homeless. That's taking victim blaming to a new level.
@@scoldingwhisper Comments that paint and entire country's populace as disgusting are pretty disgusting.
As someone who volunteers with a particular large charity, here in Sydney, that helps homeless people, this video really pisses me off on many levels. I was holding it together until you highlighted the fact that this city is trying to get rid of their homeless and not help them. It makes me wonder if society is so far down the toilet that there is little hope for any if us. How could you go through life not helping anybody in need. Even though you have the ability to help. Fuck, I am so angry I can hardly put together a cohesive sentence that echoes how I feel. Thanks Aussieman for highlighting this diabolical injustice.
As long as we aren't "helping" as the leftists would like us to (giving nothing but handouts) then we should help. If by help you mean give nothing but handouts, then nope, I wouldn't support that.
A tiny hand from many peeps can make all the difference
Cities trying to get rid of homeless people is nothing new in the states, they even do things to try to make seating less comfortable so homeless people will try to sleep somewhere else.
Norma's a hero, fighting the good fight. Big shout out to the reporter that shed light on this injustice.
"...I was hungry and you fed me." ~ God bless you Grandma
She is a legend and I respect her . ❤️
I’m ashamed of ourselves for that. As someone who has always had enough, I found out recently how hard it is to not have anything after my identity was stolen and all my accounts, retirement everything was cleaned out and I lost my business and then was arrested..but not charged, (the feds thought I was part of a criminal organization, not realizing I was a victim). Now I see how it can happen to anyone, and I look on the homeless in a whole new light.
Whoa! I’m so sorry to hear that. Hope you’re doing better now ❤
@@Thatsitimleaving I had a really great job interview Thursday at the State Prison as Painting Supervisor. I think it went really well so fingers crossed! I’ve had one good and two REALLY messed up Jobs since I lost my business. I’m ready for some stability! Thank you!
@d R thank you. I try very hard to be a good person even when things are going really bad and it’s really hard. It’s my kindness, trust and gullibility that got me into this whole situation to begin with, but it’s a long story. I was let go of a GREAT job because the new General Manager who has spent exactly 1 hour talking to me (I mean telling me how important and awesome she was. She never asked a word about me) and the next day asked for my resignation because I was too nice. I kid you not. I was in shock for an entire week. I just stood there with my mouth open going “WHAT!” Lol. It’s ok. That company was disgustingly awful.
@d R I gotta tell you about one thing. Maybe you read it. Maybe not. It’s ok. It’s about the saddest I’ve been in many years when a few weeks before Christmas in 2019 I was about my lowest. A man and woman with kids walked through the rain and wind in western Washington winter, Barnes and Noble parking lot, 8 pm…to ask me if I could help them out at all. Normally I would’ve given them $20 or more, or taken them into the Trader Joe’s. Ext to B&N and had them fill a bag. That’s just how I do. They seemed kind, clean..sober-just down on their luck too. But I seriously did not have a quarter to my name. I felt SO GUILTY and humbled to the core to have to tell them “I honestly wish I could, and I would. But I do not have a single thing to give you. I’m so sorry!! Then I sat in my truck for about 20 minutes bawling my eyes out. Getting watery eyed just remembering that feeling right now. Now THAT was the definition of a humbling experience I think. Ill never forget it. I’m getting caught up but got a long ways to go still.
I really appreciate when you use your platform to call out insanity like this. “____ should feel watched” is brilliant! Thank you for sharing this story, you big bloody beautiful bastard.
That story shakes my faith in humanity! How f'ing entitled are people that they want to "remove the homeless"? There is so much wrong with that statement, I can't possibly fathom it. I suppose letting them starve is one way to go about it. Too bad they've never thought that a hand out is a hand up toward a better tomorrow. Bless Norma and may others share her compassion!
These people deserve what they get, they're scum, there's no helping these people, they just need to die off, if you feed them they'll just multiply like rats - When the different levels of society become so far removed from each other, these are the beliefs that the wealthy can start telling themselves. A certain level of inequality in society is inevitable, but the current level of inequality is hugely detrimental for all.
Value of property goes down if homeless people are around it. Look at how rich people moving out of Los Angeles because of the homelessness and associated disturbances.
This happens when the whole monetary system running on ponzy schemes.
As a former transient myself I find this very disturbing, Norma you are a legend, the world needs people like you

Thank you Ozzy Man for this. You've done two great things here: Calling out the absurdity and injustice of this situation, and showing us there are still great people like Norma in this world.
Bureaucracy at its worse. Society has already failed the homeless yet a very kind and generous woman who took the time to help the homeless is put before the courts. Those who were involved in persecuting this amazing women should be ashamed of themselves.
What I've noticed is that it's the cops from the USA that seem to be deluded in their jobs. Perhaps, power driven for a brief moment that entitles them to do as they please. People are genuinely trying to make this world a better place to live in but you have parasites like these inhumane cops who have a problem with someone who feeds the homeless. I swear, it's only in "The Land of the Free." #FiredUpForNorma
Capitalism turned homelessness into an industry of people whose jobs it is to end homelessness but at the expense of those people working becoming unemployed if they are successful so there is no motivation to fix it permanently otherwise the people responsible for fixing it themselves become unemployed.
No they need to be removed from office.
Agree,
@@josephhamrick2488 ..And locked up for awhile with minimal food shelter, with NO resources.
What the heck is our country coming to . Thanks for shining a positive light on Norma . Ozzy man always makes me smile
Over a year later, and I never heard of this. Different States, even different neighborhoods, treat folks a whole bunch of different ways - kindly, and vile, caring and punitive. Free meals have been my only meal a few times, when the rent had to be paid and no jobs in sight. Man, beans, hotdogs and a roll tasted SO good! Thanks to women & men like Norma! THANKS SO MUCH!
I love your heartfelt and humorous commentary here!
I have been feeding homeless people for many years. I was taught to do so by my parents who did likewise. We've been moved out of areas, harassed, threatened, cursed at, etc. Never by the homeless and hungry. Always by the well fed entitled folks. Keep feeding them Norma. We are with you all the way. Much Peace and Love
God bless you bro, what if Muslims feed people there ? Do they also got arrested?
she had me in tears, you can judge how moral a society is by how it helps the most vulnerable and right now this place should be ashamed of itself. i hope karma comes to the entitled people that did this and they find themselves in need of mercy only to gain the humanity they lack
some cities also put spikes on certain parts of public spaces to keep the homeless from laying down. Let that sink in.
@Yippee Skippy I hate to break it to you champ, but parks are meant for all of the public, not just "parents and kids". And despite what you may believe, the homeless are PEOPLE TOO!
Also, if the situation here was homeless people doing drugs, publicly drunk, and shitting on the ground, which are also very illegal things to do, shouldn't that cop be arresting them for that rather than a sweet old lady for giving them a little food?
You kind are all alike, all to eager to invent your own set of facts to fit your narrative.
How about another fact to burst your bubble, a large portion of the homeless are military vets that ended up homeless for a number of reasons including suffering PTSD and other issues and were not taken care after risking their lives for our country. And if I had to guess, I would bet your the type that shouts "respect our troops" any time anything military is brought up. So next time you turn your nose up at a homeless person, realize they might be an army vet who risked all to protect your selfish ass!
@Bob Duckington That argument looks great on paper, but i'd like you to think about this using emphaty.
I like how you're judging 350 million people across one of the largest countries in the world, which spans an entire continent coast to coast, based off the actions of regressive people in rural bumfuck nowhere that no one has ever heard before.
I’m going through a hard time so I understand. The struggle is real. I am currently wearing your ozzy man hoodie and sleeping under 3 blankets. When someone reaches up when they are down put out your hand to get them on their feet. Yea naw yea. Thank you for all you do!
I never thought I‘d ever see OzzyMan trying to laugh away tears of sadness.
Mate, you are a great empathic person.
Thanks for sharing this story.
Ozzy Man is the best! He's always shown how funny he is, but now he's show his compassionate side. And I'll tell you, tears came to my eyes too! I hope Norma gets her own cooking show!
This is what causes me to loose faith in humanity. This blessed woman is trying to do some good in the world.
Edit Update: Norma is suing the city over being arrested for a city ordinance law that violates her civil rights.
#GONORMA
"enabling homelessness" WTF is that supposed to even mean??? Like people will be like, woah that grandma makes some fire food i might as well live out on the streets and eat her delicious food, houses are overrated anyways
Buddy you are a awesome man for putting stuff like this out there !! I have so much respect for you !! This isnt the only one of this nature you have done. You just got a big set of nutz my friend !!! Thank you !! If i get the chance ill drive thru that bully town and take a shit in the park. But not where homeless eat !!
I think someone called the cops.. how awful.. but I must say.. I think the poor cop was put into a situation also.. he was so kind in a bad situation..
And Norma.. you are an angel.. if the world had more people like you maybe the world wouldn't be so screwed up...
Same sort of thing happening in Ireland in Dublin. A few people were feeding homeless with donations from shops of food that was coming up to expired date. But they were arrested because they did not have a permit of distribute food
What a shame! Don't they realize these folks will eat from garbage bins?
Some businesses throw things out rather than donate due to liability. Someone gets sick and sues the business.
Stupid law.
@@popuptarget7386 Here in Belgium we had somebody get fired because she gave the leftover food to the homeless instead of throwing it in the trash. "Theft of company property".
Thank you all for sharing. Everyone seems to be on an American witch hunt of sorts, thinking these kind of stupid laws only exist here.
I definitely support the old woman keep going Granny
Respect for you to share such amazing story.
hi ozzy u are an angel too for bringing this insane story of norma to the world. btw, I was in Seoul, and saw this very old impoverished looking person hauling stuff, and was asking a pocha stall holder about it, who with the help of her 2 somewhat bilingual customers, and they said something like it is a crime to feed the poor. we didn't dig too much about it then, although was quite confused if that was really the case!
This world needs people like norma more than ever
Be the change you wish to see
I guess that the US need it more than the rest of the world.
We do take care of the unlucky few here. 🇩🇰
These is one of the most touching stories ever . I also was homeless for years and no one ever fed me. This woman is a God send. Bless her. 🙌
Norma crying just broke me.
Total inversion again.
Norma, you are an absolute Angel right here on Earth.
I will NEVER STOP helping people OR giving/buying a sandwich and a drink to homeless/hungry people.
We haven't got much, but what we can do, we will.
There is NO ONE on this Earth who has the right to stop ANY of us helping each other. The ones who try doing that... well, hope they enjoy hell when their time comes.
What are they going to do about it if ALL of us do it and KEEP doing it. There's not much they can do...
💖💖💖💖
Holy poopies Ozzy... we come here to have a giggle, this is a kick in the feels. Hope Norma sees this and knows she has the support of everyone on t'internet.
I was just in Bullhead….I’ve been many times over the years, the park she was in is in a real crappy area, but so is most of that city, yes it has nice areas but that lil old lady is at risk even being down there. Shame on the whole damn city…Norma your an awesome human being. I hope the attention helps you help them even more….
"I started out a wonderful day... I had good food made up for my... the people at the park" :D
MY, she was saying my people at first bless. Or seemed like. She's got love, bless. My, personal attachment :)
Love everything you stand for , Ozzy Man.
Norma you bloody legend, I wish everyone have a granny like you. Cheers for being a good human 👍🏿
The world needs more people like her.
*less
What the world really needs are governments who want to lift people out of poverty and homelessness instead of considering them less than human.
But until we can vote for people who care about everyone instead of just their biggest, richest donors, I agree. We need more Norma’s in this world.
@@uspockdad6429 yes more government...lol
People like Norma are the face of kindness, feeding the poor is considered as a crime now wow
Go Norma! You are a special and kind lady! ❤
What a beautiful Soul! If I lived in Bully City I'd be down in the park helping Norma! Go Norma! 👍❤️
This is utterly sad! It's silly to think that acts of kindness are to be criminalized. On the contrary you can watch evil intentions get accolades or even looked over. Norma God Bless you
Seriously. Look into lawsuits against good Samaritans. It's like they are going to either criminalize or penalize people for helping each other.
Norma is a full on legend. There's a lady near here called Pauline who does the same thing. All out of her own pocket.
Who called the cops on this old lady for feeding the homeless was it even another human. Because how does another human think it's a criminal act to feed the homeless unless they are actively going around murdering people at random in town.
Everyone wants to tackle the homeless situation, but there is clearly a vast difference in how people think will resolve the issue. Norma truly has a big and empathetic heart, and in some people’s eyes, that’s the most radical to be. Keep being radical Norma! 🤘🏼💗💕
Homelessness is a natural result of capitalism. It's an economic game of musical chairs and the number of chairs continues to shrink as more wealth is concentrated at the top.
@@dangerousdays2052 Is there any system that would solve the homeless problem?
Compassion is good however just remember that giving to the homeless is not the same as solving the homeless problem.
The problem is that to some people "tackle the homeless situation" means "move them along so I don't have to look at them". People can be both more and less compassionate than we expect.
@@djgroopz4952 Socialist programs like Finland's Housing First initiative have come pretty close. It's really just a matter of resource allocation. But when you live in a country where those on top would rather have the resources go towards things endless drone strikes because they're more profitable, don't expect to see any progress made on homelessness. Same with food distribution. The US wastes close to 50% of all food produced because it's more profitable to just throw it away than to feed the hungry.
Another one worth looking up is the two grandma's that were arrested in Watumpka, Alabama for feeding cats. The cops got rough with them and were even on their own body cam saying "thank goodness no one else was there to see us beating up on old ladies".
Dear God 😭
Yeah they don't deserve to be alive
Love birds hate cats so good on um
@@neilrichardson9718 do you hate all stingrays for killing Steve Irwin? Do you hate all dogs because dogs have killed children? Your comment is asinine.
@@Bomber411 he likes his own comments for sure with that single thumbs up.. honestly that paints a big enough picture for me .. he probably hangs out with the cop in the video
Your awesome Norma !! We love ya sista !
She is a living and breathing angel.
Ozzyman - the reason I tell people to watch your videos isn't because of your amazingly hilariousness, smart comebacks, funny voices, top notch editing or fantastic merchandise. It's because of this. I started watching your videos when I was in high school (I believe 2014) and I'm now 25 years old. I've watched your journey as a TH-camr, and I will never be more impressed, in awe of, or humbled by how you have created a channel that not only entertains, but educates and advocates on behalf of people who do not have as big a voice as you. Truly Ozzyman, you are a legend in your own right. Never underestimate the impact you have made. A TH-camr worth his weight in gold (and then some).
basically same
So true 👍
You beat me to it Rose! I was just about to write the same thing.
Thank you for showing this story to the world
Finally good journalism. Makes me feel hopeful that not all journalists suck up to politicians.
All hail Grandma Norma who should be rewarded and admired for her good deeds, not harassed the world needs more like you. ❤
This world is insane
@William Tell nah mate its everywhere
Has it ever been anything else but?
Problem is the ones being fed often throw their trash wherever and the ones feeding them dont stick around to clean up after the homeless..
never have we been so callous to people in need, with the fact that more people need assistance than ever before. Thanks MURICKA for making the world terrified of Socialism because your pea brains can't figure out the difference in how ideologies work. You know who else had the same fear of socialism....THE NAZIS! (And don't give me that bullshit about them having "socialism" in their name...its as effective as "Democratic" in Democratic People's Republic of Korea).
@@erismana2105 Norma was arrested for feeding, not littering mate. Have a heart and don't paint an unfair picture
She's not enabling homelessness instead she is enabling HUMANITY in a society that doesn't care anymore.
It breaks my heart to see grandma Norma cry. 😢
If the salvation army did this, they wouldn't have a problem. Why didn't the judge throw this out of court. Is there more to this story than we are being given?
@@cplcabs Its not illegal to feed the homeless anywhere in the USA, in most places though it is illegal to distribute food without a permit and thats for public safety especially since people all over the USA have intentionally poised people while distributing food.
Well she kinda is....... I wanna move to bullshit city with 999 others and live out of vans, and have a weekly roster of 10 places with daily 100 person parties. In front of luxury hotels and outside the local politicians homes.
Would really like to give her a big hug and say Thank You for being such a sweet soul
Norma is an absolute hero, we need more Norma's in the world
We should all aspire to be like Norma. Been able to give and expect nothing back. Lots of love, health and strength to you. NORMA YOU ROCK😎🤟
Easy to say than do.
Go on Ozzy Man, good on ya! Huge respect to Norma, what a bloody legend. The world needs more Normas.
The world is full of Normas. It's also full of arseholes.
@@timbrom ain't that the truth.
#Normafiredup. There's no room on this planet for anyone against what this lady is doing with her time!!
That is a bunch of bullcrap all she was doing is feeding people she was helping people she was doing a good deed not a bad deed she should not have been arrested she should be rewarded
This is sad. There's alot of good people out there, having second thoughts of doing good, out of fear of being canceled or getting arrested for some stupid reason. 😔😠
Volunteering is good but as with almost everything, once the government get involved so does greed and incentive to maintain instead of fix situations to avoid the risk of losing their jobs for being successful, I am in such an industry where by I assist people with disabilities to obtain work, my co-workers have KPI's and as a result feel forced to put people into jobs that don't fit them and the humanity is taken out of it entirely. Everyone I work with are good people, kind people, the job itself is not well structured at a governmental level. Mental health services require more funding.
Canceled or arrested by cult of maga
