no SS card, no address, no birth certificate so no birth certificate, no photo ID means no job


I dont know this guys situation but people making excuses for this are the problem. Ok so every one has had to show some proof of existence. I mean when did this change? When i go to the dmv i had to show birth certificate. a long with every one else in this damn country. stop making excuses for people when the rest of the fricking country dont have a problem getting a job and finding a place to lay their head. And this isnt even the ex LSU player that had spent time in jail, so why doesnt he know his ss #? Why cant he get a copy of his birth certificate? If my parents born in the ealry 50's have theirs, why not this guy? Some people chose to be in these situations.

if he is in his right mind, it is easy to see why he would want to live under a bridge. who doesnt love fresh air?

some people are just cant get right. drugs, alcohol, mental illness, whatever lead them to where they are is a "choice" in the loosest possible sense of the word. Nobody sets out to become an addict or an alcoholic or depressed or bipolar or whatever. But is a fast downhill ride to get there

Malcolm Scott used to be somebody and he still has pride in who he used to be. To think this dude is straight enough in the head to decide to be an addict and live under a bridge is dumb. I am always amazed at how reasonable people try to reason with unreasonable people. An addict's attitude and behavior dont make sense and it wont ever make sense.

When your life falls apart, you are living outside and you are lost in denial, things like waiting in line at a government office fall behind finding money for booze or drugs or food.
