Homeless for a week in San Antonio Texas

For the next 6 days I will be living on the streets of San Antonio and will spend a few nights at some local shelters.I will be approaching local politicians as a homeless person.And I don’t want to say much right now.It felt really good to see that some good friends were wondering where I was.

This is to do an expose on the State of Texas and just how horrible their social services are.The city of San Antonio is by far the worse city I have ever seen as far as what they do for the many  1000’s of people that live on the streets downtown.Last night I was thrown in jail for no reason.When I went in front of the judge he said I don’t even know why your here I said either do I and was immediately released.

This is what they have to offer here a jail cell.Well the gig is up these people will have plenty of answering to do.I hope they have their numbers correct.

I will also be looking for places that are doing things to help.I’m not sure there are many but we will see.It will be 97* degress here in San Antonio today.It is very dangerous out there.Where I slept the first night everyone was on crack and they all had weapons,box cutters and a man was recently killed right there.No one heard about that because no one cares.He had his juggler slit and they caught the person who did it.

So here we go I can post from the goodwill they have free internet access but today I’m going to approach them as a homeless man and we’ll see what they have to say with that big fancy building.Tonight I may stay at the local Salvation Army and see what that is like.

So why am I doing this? Well I have lived in many places in this great country and because of my own doing I have experienced being homeless.The main reason is because it is BEYOND unbelievable.Do I think the government owes these people,NO.But when you have trillions for bombs it’s time to take care of your own people.These are Americans and they are lost.Many of the men I have already met could with some treatment have normal lives the whole point is that is probably not going to happen if they stay here in San Antonio.And yes I do believe each person has to take responsibility for their own life.You can not fix what you don’t recognize.

I don’t want to hurt the city and their little tourist racket but I want to help the city and have them take responsibility.My ultimately goal is to use the proceeds from another blog I have called sanantonioriverwalknews.com and rent a small house and have 3-4 men stay there for up to 90 days.That is why I’m doing this and another project I need to work on.So if your the spiritual type please pray for my safety Thanks

This is actually in preparation also for my blogging across america which I will do in early September.
