Homeless man freezes to death in Birmingham


Recommended Posts

BUT, that does not mean that everyone tagged as homeless is on the street and it certainly does not mean that everyone on the street has no option to be there.

 

 

If the homeless shelters are not safe, due to drugs and violence; then that is something that needs tackling. Its not a new problem, but lack of money is an issue for those providing that service.

There are also many empty houses and buildings around the country, especially in London where no one has lived for years because rents are too high, but of course squatting is illegal. What has happened to 'market forces' when some landlords would rather leave their properties empty rather than charge an affordable rent?

 

Landlords arnt charities .

Whilst not wishing to detract from the regret that some find themselves in hopeless situations, police currently believe that this young man died of an overdose amongst other users.

"frozen to death" is unlikely.

It's still a harsh reality they live in whether using or not, that nobody should need to be living, in the 21st century

Chiriac Inout was discovered in John Bright Street late last Tuesday, November 30.

 

Shocking CCTV footage of what appeared to be Mr Inout’s final moments later emerged, showing people searching through his pockets while others injected drugs just inches away.
