Reply to comment by Skydivided in Police from Maine city drive woman to Manchester homeless shelter where there's no room by rabblebowser

This is not the case of the ones currently piled up around 199 Manchester St. Denying this is part of the problem.

How many of the people in that location have you talked to , assessed their history , checked with them to see if they know what recourses tare available, and determined wether or not if they’re long term homeless or chronic ? How many are vets ?I’m going to safely assume you don’t know the answer to any of that or have thought about it. You sound like the type of person who thinks the people you’re talking about should just go get a job or head to rehab. And that’s ok. A lot of people are like that. But you can stop , take some time , educate yourself on the issue , then have something worthwhile to contribute to this conversation. It’s an important topic.

I wondered if that question was coming. I spent six years working EMS in Manchester and at the Elliot ED, I’ve had my actual hands on many of these people as patients and know many of them by name. Hell, I could still tell you the DOB for a couple of the most frequent patients.

“I’m going to safely assume” you don’t even live in the city.

Nah. You made a blanket statement and it shows your ignorance on the issue. Just because you worked as a EMS(which I highly doubt or maybe you were a gung ho volunteer fire department member at most, Which is cool and we appreciate you guys), but your words and attitude show how uneducated you are on the subject. You have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about. It’s really obvious.

I’ll just leave it at that. No point in wasting time on you. You’re a dime a dozen.

Feel free to leave the last comment , im sure you’re the type to have to have the last word in. Carry on.
