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.

[MarcellaFere]

The attempt to accuse him of “milking” the city power grid after he said he has a generator already… my god woman.

[Jay-qnju]

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

[jayalexander]

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.

[mojoTVS]

He's the most motivated and positive homeless person I have ever seen.

[Doseyahn]

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 ❤️

[finessefulj]

Thanks, Phil, for ignoring Marla as much as possible.

[equistarter]

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.

[SM-oemz]

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

Bruh the news really called the cops on this man. Like go do something productive instead of bothering people in financial crisis

[artfixdesigns]

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

[longlongshadows]

No matter how the media tried to shame him...HE SHOWED THE MOST ...Intellegence and Class!!😁

[aquariansoullife]

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.

[SavageImprint]

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!

[kameelahsalaam]

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?

[kccain]

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.❤️🤞🏾

[Laxmaverick]

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.

[whygodrums]

You can tell by the look in his eyes hes sad and just wants to live his life. seems like a good dude

[Norcalflat]

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.

[Hayday.]

when a homeless vet has more class than anyone else in this story...
