In 2021 we were working with a man deep into his addiction. He called and requested help. Activists physically blocked us from helping. A few days later he died of an OD. Not one of the activists showed up to his vigil. This is why I call it the Homeless Industrial Complex

This is the inside of the young man’s tent that died of the OD. He called and asked for our help and the activists physically blocked our ability to do so. Note the magazine he was reading on addiction. He was serious about wanting/needing help.

Another photo in his tent. Harm reductions supplies in background delivered tent side by the county. Used needed on ground. Likely the one that killed him. His camp was on school property.

There’s a pattern

Many people who call themselves “homeless advocates” aren’t. Rather, they are ideologues who oppose getting mentally ill and drug-addicted people the help they need. And they are often more motivated by hatred of modern society than by compassion for people in need. twitter.com/kevinvdahlgren…

Like a lot of do-gooders it’s more about making themselves feel good about doing something that actually solving any problems.
No different than the NGO’s that go to some Third World country to solve problem X, not realizing their solution isn’t what the locals actually need.

You've seen a lot of do-gooders doing harm, by default. But to result in a person's death when that person reached out for help....😔Painful experience I'm sure.
