I just wanted to give that homeless guy a BIG HUG. I hope one day he stays clean and can get the help and recourses/support he needs to get off the streets because he seem like a really good person- It's absolutely heartbreaking.💔😥

Time to wake up. This is all over the USA, 50 states! It’s in every kind of area, urban, suburban, rural, rich, middle, poor. Hundreds of thousands of people are mentally ill, addicted, alcoholics, runaways, throwaways like the young man at the beginning of this video, Veterans with PTSD… A lot of the homeless are well-hidden in upscale suburbs, outside of gated communities, squatting in foreclosed homes and businesses. Something needs to be done about the people and for the people. Separate those who can be helped and want help from those who are criminal and so seriously ill that they won’t benefit from voluntary treatment. Send the criminals to prison, commit the dangerous mentally ill to long-term hospitals. Train staff who will give them the best life possible. Take the drug addicts and treatable people and require them to stay in treatment. Find out what are their real needs and meet them. You can’t just stick them in a tiny house with a day’s worth of snack food and expect them to get a job and become a productive citizen. Example, the guy kicked out of school in grade six, looks like he’s at least 18, probably older. Give him a structured living environment and get him a small job he must perform, that promised laptop, and private tutor who will stick with him to get that GED. He probably has undetected or neglected learning disabilities and nobody cared enough to do anything for him. I don’t blame him for stabbing the kid with a pencil. He knew he was going to get jumped, told both the teacher and the principal, and they let him down. Why didn’t the principal man up and personally escort him out of the school and drive him to a safe place? If the kids at that school are so violent, where are the cops? They should be on duty in the classrooms and in the halls, restrooms, everywhere. If the kids don’t want an education, give them a choice, lock-up, a job program, or straighten up and fly right. HS! guy’s 32, a grown-ass man with a sixth grade education! The school system that rejected him should be ashamed. I’m a teacher who’d like to work part time. Too bad I’m in Maine. If I were in Florida, I’d set something up and start teaching him right away. Evaluate his reading, writing, math skills and start wherever he’s at. It’s entirely possible he can’t read. Many public schools are useless, for boys especially. If he can get his GED, great, but if not, at least teach him to read enough to get a job.

Sad the school didn’t listen to a student who needed help😢

@20:40 People there want to complain about traffic congestion but if you notice it's almost all GIANT ass vehicles with one person in it

Thank you for being so kind to jimmy New Sub

Eye opening. People don't understand this is an issue in the entire country! Not just big inner cities. Tragedy and no one can come up with fixes? There are many reasons and there should be many ways to address it. Be careful, friend and thank you for showing us the reality!

Just confirms my stories about the school districts down here hmm?

I live in the suburbs of Tampa and they just had opened a over pass over 75 about a year ago and now it’s full of trash and tons of illegal dumping

Keep up the good work brother. ❤

This is happening in south Florida all over since I was a jit

This channel has a good attitude to it. Very interesting.

I found like 30-40 tires in one area someone dumped illegally.

NO to living in Florida

SL, lots of mental illness contributing to homelessness

They lightened up on the drug laws. Back in the day it was illegal to do drugs or possess them you did jail time and each time you were caught you did more jail time and were court ordered to do treatment. A lot of people were able to get clean and have a good life. nowadays it seems like they don't want them to get help. And they've shut down a lot of mental health housing. All the money spent helping other countries fight their wars would be better spent here taking care of our country. Just saying.

Very sad Situation. Im so glad that you’re showing it to us. As I can see Ron, is not doing anything for those people. Shame of him!

Thank you for going around my city & showing the realness of it💛

I'm in Iowa and been feeding and ministering to the Homeless and less fortunate for over 30 years and yes it can be dangerous but for the most part you just need to be aware of your actions and your surroundings, and always be respectful. Don't invade their privacy and never ever snitch about anything period. Another thing these people are homeless, their still human and most if not all enjoy the same things in life that the rest of us do, like KZfaq, Facebook, Twitter and etc., with that said, many of these homeless brother's and sister's are probably even some of your YT subscribers, Just keep that in mind when your making your video's it may help you down the road to get into some of these camps.

Homeless is all over America. With the higher cost of housing, food prices, weather damaged homes, health insurance costs, higher taxes, layoffs and more, many more Americans will become homeless. Will we be homeless too? The government gives billions of tax dollars to foreign countries. They should building night shelters with pods for people to sleep the night. (Chinese style pods) And showers with toiletries. Every Church should give free meals daily to the hungry and needy. Churches have been collecting tax fee donations for years. It's time to give to the needy if they are not doing it already. Can you imagine no more hunger cause all you have to tell anyone to go to a church for a meal. Not everyone is homeless cause of drugs. If you go to their "house" take some bottle water and food, they will not going to " attack you". They are just homeless.

The system has chewed up people and spit them out on the streets. It's time to build a new system that can address the needs of the forsaken.

Luv your videos. These truths need exposure. Please continue to stay safe.

The school system did to this man, what they tried to do to me.

ALC my Uncle Taught there years. A well respected man. You get in ALC because you act out in school. East Fort Myers in the building.

South Florida is really a great place to be homeless but stay out of the camps I have a friend that stayed homeless for years had a job in construction there are vegetables growing every whare and fish in all the canals. Resources is the key in a survival setting.

It looks bad, but the open paper and boxes will break down at a faster rate than if it was in a landfill. Its true. They've found newspapers in landfills from the 1930's. Once it goes in a landfill, it gets compressed and last a very long time. So, its really NOT that bad for the environment to have paper and boxes strewn everywhere. it IS ugly....

17:29 I know exactly where this is. Yes they’re building homes. But homes the average person cannot afford. They want you to gross minimum 6k a month just for a studio apt. Ridiculous

Florida has always had a certain amount of homeless during the winter months. I remember as a kid the numbers that would show up in the keys. Every winter and a certain number would stay year around.

It’s heartbreaking. Florida weather is fine in the winter but not summer. Because of their politics they could care less about the homeless. It’s not the best place if you want to get back on your feet.

Kuddos to the guy in the video for opening up about this rough way of life, and being a target 🎯. I like this type of video. Great job, keep up with the great content!

First time I've seen one of your videos. Congratulations on 100k subs

Unless this guys school was the worst in America . He had to do some pretty bad shit to get booted out permanently in the 6th grade !! I mean , unless what he did was REALLY bad . Him getting the boot that young is bullshit ! Hope he finds a way out !

It starts with family life, or lack of it. As kids, many of these people were failed by the people that brought them into the world. Were was that guys parents to get him help, to make the school help him. As sad as it is, many school officials ignore a kid who's parents don't seem to care about him. And it's not about poverty. That makes it harder, but being poor doesn't prevent a parent showing kids love.

I was homeless too years ago for a few years. I turned it around not trying to toot my horn but I didn't have a drug problem. Drinking and drugs will slow you down. You can save a lot of money working and homeless.

More old abandoned junk areas NOT active camps whatsoever.

If you’re going to be homeless Florida is the place to do it. Food, wild plants, and game. At least you’ll be warm most days and nights.

But do you compel people to shelter or housing against their will? That’s something society isn’t ready for

Omg I'm in tears 😭

The system have caused most of these peoples there situation ! 😢😢😢

I tried to help a homeless guy get into a shelter. I encouraged him to seek help there because they have a lot of resources and he could sleep there. Long story short, he threatened to k*** me, mutilate me and said he has a desire to molest children. He explained in great detail what he would do to me. All because I tried to help him. He’s on one big pity party. Accusing me of being homophobic, most of my friends are gay. He is The Gay Nomad and he is one of the most hateful people I’ve ever communicated with. I’d love to see you guys confront him.

oye bro keep it up man i like the videos. I live in the area closer to Lehigh

Only when we see the human suffering. Now we may have people stop the pain. Not a simple issue. It effects us all. I have walked in there shoes. Thank god for the people that were there for me . One step from the grim realization.

I love the videos yall. Keep them coming. #swervygang Ken

I had to get something at That Winn- Dixie yesterday afternoon in North Fort Myers.

My little sister lives in a homeless camp in the woods in Fort Meyers FL. but I have no idea where 😢

"Just doing my job" lol not the best thing to say. Your job could be to tear down their camp. Just be like what's up how u doing

No drugs no garbage two dogs three people shower area hammock huge tents solar power hook up and code enforcement police know we’re here . We pick up after ourselves including bodily fluids from the dogs. I’ve been out since October and I don’t get paid enough because landlords want three times the limit. All I wanna do is help people and I literally and fighting for veterans 32 thousand of them in a tent and they don’t even know. There is so many tricks and stuff to learn. Those new places u need to make close to 4o an hour

It is worse here than CA.

I live in ntm and could show you areas that make detriot look like a great place to live. I,ve lived here for 50+ years and have decided to leave because its getting insane.

To heck with the tires and the enviroment. Some choose homelessness, most with proper intervention would not. Treated, mental illness and addiction is a million years apart from untreated mental health. America is incapable of reason. Though I still have hope. ❤

I like the GO Pro on you.

Hay man can you do a video of the Sean within 10 minutes of the beach in Bonita springs to see what is up. I want to see if it is worth moving there from the West Coast.

God Bless you Jose for trying to help people who have had a bad break

Good video Glad to see you wearing protection, especially with the snakes down here. Stay safe Personally I like living in Florida. . But I have friends and family back home That would like to move here. And I have told them if you're going to rent you can't afford florida It's sad but true

Thank you I love your videos do you think it would be possible to locate that gentleman that got kicked out of school I live in West Palm Beach and I would be willing to drive over there and offer to help him get his GED and maybe some sort of trade to give him a shot

The best never comes easy. It’s called sacrifice. I’m up every day at 3:00am. putting in 12 hour day six days a week it’s still not enough.

U've found more illegal dump sites than actual homeless camps, cause u know lots of people that have the comfort to live wealthy tend to just illegally dump items when they have the blessing to get something new

Did that street sign say 'Donald and C00n road' ? Wow. Had to misspell the word due to KZfaq's extremely strict policy.

They dump tires and building materials in my city too. So that must be a univeral thing. I hate it nonetheless. It's partly the city's fault too for not picking tires up anymore on trash day. They used to do it.

50th in the country for mental health. You just leaveled the issue. Not enough opertunity for a hand up.

Listening to your tour, reminds me of those wild life tour guides explaining what they find. We ARE becoming less and less human and more animalistic in nature. Maybe in the very near future, it will become the norm, to build and live in an outside shelter, as living in a solid home and using simple grocery stores is becoming unsustainable. And it's all happening as we speak.

Respect from Az ✊🏼

You forgot the key endorsement North Fort Myers,FL is one of the Largest trailer Park in the United States.

More vindication. Yes my friend keep up with your gear.

You got a stand your ground law in florida. Clean up your neighborhood.

You're going to be a lot more homeless people not only in Florida all over the US they're going to be a lot of people losing their home I live in my step-brother he's selling his house and there ain't gonna be no room for me to live with him so I'm going to be living on the street hooray

Lived in Cape Coral for 6 years and worked in ft myers. Lee County is a joke and cares less about there problems. Lived 2 years on FMB and talked with local homeless daily. Whole area is dealing with effects of high cost of living, low wages, and snowbirds. All the waterways are polluted also. Glad I left before Ian. Living the dream in Santa Marta Colombia. Keep up the great work exposing the truth.

why do they have to make such a disgusting mess. Maybe if they were clean, neat, people would not have such an issue.It's just beyond disgusting and unacceptable. Mandatory inpatient programs for drugs, alcohol and true mental illness must be an option at this point.

I just don't understand how or why this gentleman can run across a grill that stands alone and is covered in leaves and obviously it hasn't been used in quite some time!! I mean believe it or not even the less fortunate people such as the homeless folks u've been disrespecting make sure that their cooking area is as clean as they can possibly get it, some homeless folks camp sites are cleaner than some folks living in a house!!

That man that was ignored in his school, is all to common, always ignored. ! Always of course other people could have helped, duh, but they ignored him, typical situation. He is probably damaged now, hopeless from the stress of trying to thrive and all the tables was turned against him. PTSD. I believe that there should be places that you can go to die peacefully and painlessly to just get out of life, instead of just being stuck in your body. Cause I believe there is no hope. A lot of Wealthy people have a lot of dark secrets.

BE CAREFUL

RIP JIMMY 🥺😥💜

Thank you for what your doing. Now what are you going to show us?

This is so inaccurate and I’m in fort myers and I have a bachelors degree I am a single mom a domestic violence victim no drugs and I’m homeless and on top of my full time job remind you I help veterans nationally

Get your facts right. There are 4 ways to get into Cape Coral that don't go through North Fort Myers.

I was thinking, at least they're off the beaten path out in the woods and not laying around in front of businesses. But i can't stand dumpers and dumping either. It irks the hell outta me. I just can't understand the folks who have no pride in themselves nor their surroundings. Clean up after yourself dam! A broom and a dustpan and bucket doesn't cost a fortune and is not that hard to get. I saw one homeless woman in a video once who was sweeping up. And i said, dam look at that, there's 1 out there who's trying to clean up her area. None of the rest pitched in to help her. It's their DGAF attitude that i don't care for.

Just like with collier county they say its safe but it aint lol. Cc and cape are surrounded by by countys that are not safe lol. Collier county pushed put the middle class like myself.

Jose how do we fix this problem???

Nice PALOMILLA & Onions! Que rico!!!!

Instead of cutting down more woods why don't they clean up and finish Lehigh Acres?

Was that a cop that you were talking to? What was that all about?

Omg I know jimmy

Flimsy house developments and congested neighborhoods

Well fort Meyers got destroyed in that hurricane so that pretty much got rid of the homeless but a lot of homeless like to camp and fish. And they like that.

If its sooo damgerous, how about staying out them then.. what is the purpose of these videos?

I wish I had a big farm out in the country . I would invite all the homeless , to stay and run free

Sweaters and thick clothes aren't going to stop at night to be better not to wear a shirt at all

Yo ur right aboyt the schools i grew uo in naples. I know all about that city lol the bad the good and everything in between lol. Sorry for all the comments screen is cracked cant hit edit lol and this is very passionate subject to me. If i would have finished school i think it hells ylu finish other things in lkfe in generali also faught everyone and everything about school. It didnt interest me at all. Huge mistake i tell my son that all the time my only refret in life is not finishing school pls so pls dont make the same mistake i did he really wants to work too and thats fine but i will make sure he finishes even if he does option 2

So damn sad😢

That's what I call progress😅

People come from all homeless America to live in Florida cause of weather

They are throwing up cheap stick construction made out of frame. You will hear all neighbors stomping around with wooden walls and subfloors - additionally it won't age well, wood rots in Florida and won't last as long as concrete (even if it doesn't get blown down from a hurricane)

Nail on the head.

Now u definitely got that part right about homeless folks being victimized! And u're talking to a man, think about the females that are homeless imagine the different ways they get victimized! I suppose in a way u are right about it being dangerous BUT it's more dangerous for the homeless folks than it is for u BUT the things u're saying and the way u're acting it's highly likely that a homeless person will take offense to u!! Seriously if u want to help talk to some of em with out the camera spend a few days with em and u'll be surprised at what u learn and then try to help out u'd be surprised how much the little things make a huge difference to someone in need

You should have flipped that dude a 20 buy him a buzz....

GoodEveningLoves❤❤❤NTHANKYOU SoMuch ❤🎉LoveChick ❤🎉 ✔ ✅ 🛫 ☑

You are walking behind a truck stop!!!

KARENS are everywhere!

Do you help the homeless or are you exposing

😮 you need a stab vest bro. They aren't too expensive either if you keep making these videos..
