Just heart breaking 💔 😢
This is definitely deliberate absolutely
Jumala õnnistus neile kõigile Aamen 🙏
lol. this doc is meaningless unless. homelessness is the result of greed 99.3% the rest is a combination of mental illness, drug abuse and and or a simple fall and breaking an ankle
Its getting really bad in Alberta: /shorts/S8DaYc-6o7M
The law know who the dealers are, they could end them getting hold of drugs if they wanted too. Just like government could make them all be in housing, rehab then work. They choose to let them die. Such a criminal world we live in. I have never so many homeless people as i have through watching these videos. I am in UK in a small town, i barely see the homeless as they are not visble like this. So sad ❤
0:41 wtf is that
Born and raised in Southern California I am 65 years old it’s all by design and it’s designed by the government and the rich people and the business people do not ever think that they don’t want drugs. They absolutely want drugs they want you in rehab they want you in the hospital they want you fucked up do you know why because it makes money and if nobody believes this, you’re out of your mind I’m going to sleep now. Thank God, I have somewhere to sleep.
