Family lawyer? Wasn't he homeless?


Lawyers immediately showed up on their doorstep looking for a huge payday after his death made the news.

To be fair, I’m not sure that many urban families are aware that you can go out and proactively hire a lawyer, rather than wait for the state to assign one to you

USA TODAY @USATODAY Jordan Neely, a beloved subway performer, grew up in a family of musicians who want him to be remembered as a "human being," a family lawyer said.

Here we go… the George Floyd treatment.

Murals incoming.

I don't have a problem in the world with the Marine who restrained Neely, but I DO wish that our health care system were better-able to identify and help people with such obvious emotional health problems.

It ain’t there because the movements of the 50s and 60s to destroy the mental health system put all these people out on the streets.

These days, it is damn near impossible to find a doc to see or a bed in an inpatient unit because the system is so completely and totally fricked.

The deceased was highly unlikely to spend 9 months waiting for an appointment with a new provider, if he could find one.
