There is a homeless man who appears to live at the old gas station in Prince Frederick,right across from the school - by Safeway,movie theater,etc. I see him all the time,summer and winter,and always wonder,who is he? Why is he there-don't the owners of the land care? I'm not starting this thread to talk about how horrible the homeless are or how it's all Bush/Obama's fault - most of us are only an illness or a missed couple of paychecks away form being there ourselves,I'm just curious about him and have always wondered what his deal is. Thought about just asking him once while I was sitting in my car at the light,but figured he could be mentally ill and didn't want to be perceived as intruding or whatever.

There are a few threads on here about him. He has money..he has family, local.... He chooses to live the way he does.

There are homeless everywhere, entire tent communities. When on an exit ramp, do you see blue tarps in the woods?

Wow their must be something mentally wrong, why would you choose to be homeless :shrug: I guess the same reason why people who can't afford kids have kids knowingly that welfare is going to take care of them. Plenty of free careers in the US. You can be all you want to be in America, I might want to be a bumb next year. Don't knock it till ya try it.

Next time you see him bring a Big N Tasty meal, supersized from McDonald's. :snacks:

There was a man I knew in Florida who would hang out in the bar my friends and I frequented. His name was John and he lived in a tent community in the woods. He would do odd jobs around the bar for drinks, and John had a job at a tye-died t-shirt factory. He chose this way of life. I asked him one night why. He explained to me that when he came back from Vietnam, he tried to live at home again and it just didn't work anymore. He said the only way he felt at peace was to live the life he was living. He said his family didn't understand it and he wished it were easier on them, but this is what he needed to do.

You rarely ever know someone's story or why they do what they do, but I don't think you should just judge the surface.

Why aren't you in school. As stupid as you are, you need every day you can get in a classroom.

Now are you going to cry to board mommy again and have a thread deleted? :killingme

While hunting a fugitive from St Mary's County in Woodbridge, VA, I had occasion to crawl through a number of these little villages. From a sociological standpoint, it was very interesting. They all have one guy in charge, he controls who stays and who goes. No exchange of money or food, there is little enough of that to go around. These people are frequented by church outreach programs, have opportunities to come in and shower and or sleep at shelters, but most prefer not to. There is also an issue of age, the older ones stay away from the shelters because they cannot defend themselves against the younger ones, so fear is a factor. There is also a code of conduct, where the older ones believe that the younger ones are homeless by choice as opposed to circumstances. One "leader" explained to me that the younger ones are more "Run aways" that did not want to follow their parents rules, anarchists. We are here because it is the only option that we have.

This individual explained to me that he had watched his father kill his mother and then put his brother in the hospital. He said "My father is in Hell now" and didn't offer anything further, but it wasn't difficult to see that he had helped his father get there, and then went off of the grid.

Haul him of to jail for trespassing.



For hanging out in a parking lot?


IANAL, but I would think that the owners of commercial land would have to make it known to someone that they aren't wanted before they just up and have someone hauled off to jail for trespassing.

Otherwise, they could simply have everyone in their store at any given time thrown into jail for trespassing.


There was no indication in any previous posts that the hobo in question has been warned off the property before, and I have never seen any "No Trespassing" signs in that parking lot.

They just need to put up a no loitering sign then they could easily get that dirty bum out of there.
