Jayland Walker - […]

Fox News loves to bash Democrats about homelessness. They don't ever come up with their own ideas. But they are right. Homelessness in America is a nightmare and it's all because of Democratic policies.

We need to talk about why homeless people from a Hurricane get instant access to an arena for shelter and hundreds of thousands of Americans who have been stranded on the streets of the richest country in the world get nothing.

September 29 is the day some people in the West celebrate Michaelmas. Basically, because it is near the autumnal equinox, the celebration is about being brave as darkness begins to envelope us.

I doubt I'll ever write an autobiography. It's like masturbating and asking people to watch. It's just a weird exercise for people who probably spent their entire lives looking for approval through some action they did. I'm not saying that I'm not one of those guys. I certainly am. But an autobiography just feels too […]

THE DRAW OF THE STREET Something we aren’t discussing much when we discuss homelessness and addiction is how the street pulls you in. And it’s not just homeless people, addicted people and drug dealers. It’s cops and homeless helpers and harm reduction people. It’s me. The street has a small amount of high risk. You […]

The Tyrone Brown case might be even more important than the Jayland Walker case in Akron (Who was unarmed and was shot over 40 times by Akron police). There are some BIG claims on both sides.

Here's the Headline and article summary: New York City Mayor Eric Adams Considers Housing Migrants on Cruise ShipsNew York City’s shelter system has been overwhelmed with new arrivals, but advocates for the homeless say the idea is insulting.

I might be the biggest loser you have ever met. I lose at every turn for wanting to do something so basic and fundamental as giving shelter to people that desperately need shelter. One of my great friends and profound advisors, Jamie Johns, has made it very clear that what I am doing is "unwinnable." […]

From what I know about the homeless community, this is the kind of sex trafficking that goes on… Yesterday I came up on 2 very serious guys. One Black. One White. They were squaring off on each other. I asked them what was going on. The Black guy said that the White guy had taken […]

Apparently the Akron Police Department has been asking my homeless friends where I get my money. My friends thought it was a strange question to ask and so they let me know the police were asking. It's strange because it sounds a little like an investigation. I mean, who in the government asks that question […]

The rumor is that Shammas Malik is going to announce his run for Akron mayor next week. I'm going to support him. And then I'm going to run for Ward 8 City Council. That is the Ward he currently holds. Shammas Malik will win because he is a money magnet. He raised about $50,000 for […]
