How fucking dare so-called journalists come into established encampments, misrepresent themselves, cosplay as a homeless person for a matter of hours without contributing to the community or even bothering to get to know the people therein, and then write a smear piece...
Fuck you all the way to hell, @RosieDiManno.
You think the couple hours you spent in our camp gives you insight into our minds, our hopes, our dreams, our creativity? You don't know shit, and you obviously didn't learn shit, or want to, from your little poverty tourism excursion

Your attempt to dehumanize encampment residents is disgusting. Referring to us as transients, feral, indigents... as though we're not, first and foremost, human beings who have fallen between the cracks of your capitalist society, failed by everyone we come into contact with
You denigrate Sean and Molly, who treated you as a guest, even as they have nothing, as though you housed people are somehow superior for slamming the door in the face of those who come to you looking for companionship or help. Mock Monica for her faith, as though without...

Viewing human beings as a spectacle, animals in an interactive zoo that you can walk through. You wanna know why you weren't welcomed with open arms, the way our street angels are?
Because years on the streets hones your ability to sniff out abusive trash and you ***reek*** of it

Im literally sitting here crying over this senseless attack piece, because you had such a great opportunity to meet some amazing people, truly enrich both your life and ours, and yet you chose violence, like so many do when faced with evidence that society is fundamentally broken
