Duluth07 ::: Favorites I get really nervous seeing these religious groups running in to rescue and then 'preaching' and trying to 'save' the homeless. Every shelter is the same - this is very similar to what was done to the Natives and the Catholic boarding schools. You assume you know what's best for them, so you brainwash them with religion - and the carrot you hold over them is free stuff - requirement? Agree to get brainwashed. Someday people will help other people without an agenda. 07-09-18 22:28:09 __________________________________________________
tonwil06 ::: Favorites I live in Detroit,Michigan and it is not as bad as L.A. I guess the cost of living is much lower in Detroit. 07-08-12 18:52:41 __________________________________________________
cramsa ::: Favorites And who caused their homelessness? Probably they should get off the drugs and all that crap, and try to get a job... at lest they should do it for their family and children if not for themselves! 07-08-07 22:28:20 __________________________________________________
angie90061 ::: Favorites this is so true; everyday im down that way i cant help to get emotional. people are so quick to pass judgement and look down on people in these types of situation. we need to really inform people how serious this crisis is, instead of going over seas 07-07-12 23:16:20 __________________________________________________
Glidescube ::: Favorites It is much cleaner now I was there today 05/18/2007. The LAPD did a real number shooing all the homeless away. 07-05-18 07:28:25 __________________________________________________
XxFaithxX2008 ::: Favorites My youth group and I are going to L.A. in less than a month. It is my first time to go, and this video really opened my eyes! Thank you for posting this!! 07-05-14 10:44:02 __________________________________________________
robohaggis ::: Favorites Must disagree. The film was more about how we, as people who are in vastly different circumstances, can be effectively Christian to the homeless and poor. It's not about putting filth on film. The filming is not done at a distance to keep the filmmakers out of harm's way. People who want to keep themselves safe don't even venture to Skid Row, let alone going to a mission to volunteer and serve the population. 07-01-28 08:58:15 __________________________________________________
