"Just another dead junkie."
“Just another dead junkie.”
In Episode 48 of Straight Talk, No B.S. with Matthew’s Hope, Pastor Scott and Shelley examine the callous way many in the public regard the passing of someone experiencing homelessness as “just another dead junkie.”
They share memories of guests they have lost this year and offer insight into the stories behind those individuals and what makes them so much more than “just another dead junkie.”
Each week, Pastor Scott, Shelley and guests share their experiences from operating a homeless outreach in Florida's Orange and Brevard Counties in order to raise awareness and tackle some of the biggest misconceptions surrounding the homeless crisis in America today.

    Denying the problem by couching it in compassion, is part of the reason politicians are despised. Protect the vagrants rights and too bad if it hurts, negatively impacts, degrades, the taxpayers rights. You've lied for years about who the homeless are and folks are sick and tired of it.

  • @nicoleterry5228
    @nicoleterry5228 Před 4 měsíci

    What part of this is bad? Under HB 1365: Homeless individuals are prohibited from camping on city streets, sidewalks, and parks-and instead placed in temporary shelters monitored by law enforcement agencies. The state of Florida has the enforcement tools needed to ensure local governments comply. Homeless shelters will require occupants to not use drugs. These shelters will also include substance abuse and mental health treatments. HB 1365 also provides alternatives for when homeless shelters have reached max capacity. It directs the Department of Children and Families to authorize temporary campsites that do the following: Maintain sanitation, including access to clean and operable restrooms and running water. Provide access to substance abuse and mental health treatment resources through coordination with the regional managing entity. Prohibit illegal substance use and alcohol use on the property and enforce this prohibition.

      @@judedadude3475 He said we should talk about politics and religion. So, religion is mentioned. And gods are certainly a big part of religions - most of them, anyway. And I bet I do think more about religion than most people, because I think about how divisive and out-of-date it is quite often. There is no god, so I don't think of "him." I just think about how nuts it is to me that so many people still believe in supernatural beings.

    Everybody forgets how expensive their cars are (most people have been sucked into the leasing-debt racket that our government is running) and that is the biggest problem when it comes to homelessness. Especially since they've outpriced normal people from being able to live in walkable areas. It's going to collapse soon so the eligious will find out and it will be painful.

    Its is not just a shower or a job. That does not alleviate responsibility for the homeless on most homeless individuals. They are homeless for a reason. Until you have lived with someone you HAD to kick out you will never know. Until you have lived with someone that you love who brings home drugs, guns, abuse, house fires, death ect you will never understand. Please stop pretending that the homeless are innocent in their situation.

  • @IonVladutu
    @IonVladutu Před 5 měsíci

    So true. I volunteer at a nonprofit bike shop that does tons of outreach, people often forget the transportation aspect of getting out of homelessness. Cars it seems are a frustrating necessity for most Americans, between the ever increasing cost of fuel and insurance plus the time/space/skills to maintain a vehicle and the surprise repair bills it hard for full time workers to keep their car. And I am well aware not all unhoused people abuse drugs, reality is that many do or are in recovery so I’d much rather have them teeter over on a bike trail than be on the highways.
