Thing is - some of these people don't want help. If anyone who lives in the Beltline/Mission area should know who Freedom is. Freedom is a homeless drug addict - the man has been beat up, arrested and stabbed and he is still "happy" doing what he is doing.
I was with a community association rep one night and she straight up asked him - This what we can do to help you
His reply - No i wanna do my drugs - I won't do it, take advantage ect...
He seems to be "happy" where he is with what he is doing despite all he has gone through
addication is a power thing.
