"...It is very much ingrained in me that you do not manage a social wrong. You should be ending it."
Lots of good stuff in this article. I had a class on homelessness and an internship at a homeless shelter. A lot of what I have seen written about it is pretty stupid. But the ideas presented here have potential.
I remember a homeless called Lounis (after my studies, I joined Paris Firefighter Brigade), we collected him regularly because people would complain he was staying at their frontdoor. On our way to the hospital, he would sing with us in the truck, he would even do air guitar. The day some of my colleagues came back to the fire station after they collected his body on the street, we all felt like the police officers did for Murray.
