Homeless Ex-Marine Will Take Your Breath Away Playing Piano in the Streets 

And people shouldn’t work for less then 15 bucks an hour. I can see the potential in the people of your country, I wish u guys the best.

@@andrasdudas5084 Economically impossible.

Nobody should be homeless.

As a retired Marine, I have no words for what I would do to his son to make him realize the importance of his father, and to seek him out because that man is deserving of respect. Now, I can't make his son realize; I can only teach him, and hopefully that's enough. Everyone gets dragged down in society, but everyone can climb out of that "sunken place" too. This world is NOT what he and I fought for. This is something I don't know anymore.

Charles I agree These people put their life on the line So we can all live in freedom I am from New Zealand and respect anyone who works in the forces to keep everyone safe

Absolutely correct. We can and should be better.

@Philip Callahan right* ? :^

Somebody isn't going to do what Everybody should do but Nobody ends up doing. Because social support system is called communism in the USA. This has been a popular issue since forever and if people really wanted to fix it, it would have already been fixed.

It's a heartbreaking reality how world isn't built for warriors no more.

MAybe it is his free will to live this lifestyle? America is a free country, you know.....

With you 100%. Who knows what this Marine witnessed to change his life. War does that to people - no matter how strong, how good, how devoted to human liberty and freedom. I talk with the homeless here in L.A. - help out as I can. We all should. But instead of sending 50 billion to Ukraine oligarchs, the money should help here.

Not all of em

"Do something for these people." Thats a lot coming from someone who probably never went homeless, never slept without a bed. YOU probably do not know how hard it is to do things like that easily. Would YOU be prepared to donate more than one hundred dollars that YOU earned? I'd like for you to know how hard it would be to do this, how hard it is to come back from homelessness, and that human nature would prevent people from donating enough to financially aid all homeless people.

@@BassS1nger Yes. I just gave $160 to a homeless 66 year old black woman who has a degree, had professional job, then had a stroke. I am looking for housing in L.A. And only can find these terrible “ shelters.” With lots of drug use, everything stolen. No individual rooms. I also donate $200. Month for my 95 year old friend for her rent. I am 70+ , social security of $900. But my husband is still alive and we own a modest 70 year old home. If I can do this, so can thousands of others. But the bloated city, county, state, federal governments need to get busy to solve this homeless issue - for all homeless.

@@nanallen1 war didnt do this to him

Hats off to them.

Thank you so much for helping that man out I would have gave him and his son a roof over there heads if only I new this one touches HOME 🇺🇸 thanks again

Then take care for your Marines. He is not the only one thats forgotten by his "brothers"

ooh rah

No there is a thing called a former marine, there’s no such thing as an ex marine!! While arguing that many of the habits stay with us, we have to come to the realization that most of us couldn’t pass the pft now!! Personally I smoke to damn much and am pushing 40!! I’d be lucky if I could finish three miles without a heart attack, tho if I walked I bet I could still beat some of the fat body corporals and terminal lances. 🤔

Semper Fi..leave no man behind brother

i've never looked at it that way thanks for opening my eyes

🙏 Amen...

I hate to see any man homeless.

You're exactly right!

Amen

THANK YOU.

He does this was a long time ago

He can anything unless he quits drugs.

Somebody find him 4 me

It's a sin and a shame. When a person comes forth and puts their very life on the line for you and millions of their countrymen whom they don't even know, they should never again in life want for a single thing let alone simple basics like food or housing!

Yes it's terrible , however no human for that matter I don't wish it opon

Ask him what the military forced him to do then u may know why

Amen , you got that right.

Fi K I agree that's why I don't understand racism a marine vet went into a restaurant for a free meal. Some guy said he wasn't a marine and he was black. Before you disagree with me if he was white he wouldn't got called out like that.

It's Marine no solider

Not*

What is this freedom you talk about? Poor bastard wasted his life fighting for the corporate oil machine and miltary industrial complex.

Mark Summers We all need something to fight for man. If not the country least we can do it for our family.

His local Social Services Dept. Should be able to help him . Perhaps someone will see this & help give him a ride there. If anyone could do just what they can for him, l suspect he will receive some much needed help. Inside edition aired this story & my hope is someone can help set him up a "go fund me" page. Perhaps he will be able to get on his feet. I'm hopeful for him to be reunited with his son soon. God bless.

@Bod Donnell . Mahalo ( thanks) Bod, coming to You from Honolulu, Hawaii

I know. All while the liberals want to pay for illegal immigrants they leave the ones that fought for our freedom on the street.😡

They all mostly do because the government doesnt help them

Beth Roesch if you think the elite gives a damn about you and the vets than you’re dumber than the Donald dump supporters all the elite cares about is themselves and thier kids it’s called self interests smh

Tell that to AOC she would rather help illegals then this man

The libtards definitely don't care about them.

Ro Sri I agree

But the video isn't 10 minutes long

Me Awesome the 10 minute thing just gives you more money. You get a dollar for every thousand views I've heard from other youtubers

Hey Now Hey Now if your video is 10 minutes long then u can put more ads in it which gives you more money

Me Awesome yea ik but you made it seem like you don't get any money at all from videos unless it's 10 minutes long

No one who served shou be homeless in the country he/she served... especially if that country is the US... there's something very wrong here.😠🇨🇦

That's the US alright

@@sherrilwebb4102 *Right!*

He is not a ex once a marine always

@@ronhunter4279 what? I never said he was an ex marine

He seems content with his life. Notice how he wants his son to come track him down vs him finding his son? or that he's ok playing for tips? I served in the USMC over 20 years ago, this man is 15 years my senior; I would never abandon my children without a very serious reason. Perhaps him staying with his child would have caused more harm than good, so he left. He may have mental issues because of his service experience but he also likely doesn't want to deal with the "system" any more. I don't blame him and wish him well.

America is great, aint it?

Man I don't understand .. they don't give pensions to vet in USA?

AJ Bigfoot Definitely tell me about it!! It's morally wrong.

It Is a shame an ex Marine is homeless he served his country only to become homeless I pray that somone will help find a place live

Every country has the same failure. They train their citizens to go to war. They fail to train them to come home after. This failure is why so many veterans have the same problem adjusting to civilian life. This is OUR shame. OUR failure.

AJ Bigfoot I was unaware of this but many young men that arrived home after Vietnam live in the woods.

Look how America did John Rambo! This is Real life! America has NEVER gave ah rats Ass about their veterans!!!!!!

Susana Calmo hes already blessed with a beautiful talent

Susana Calmo I

Susana Calmo Blessed with homelessness🙏🙏🙏🙏

This why i like trump he wants us to put america first not everyone else

Well said, I agree

No son leave their father homeless

No one who has served their country should be homeless

Agreed!! Anyone who served and has been fortunate enough to come home, should have a home waiting for them free of a mortgage. A pension that they can actually survive on, and PROPER mental health support at the snap of a finger to say the least!!

Amen Kay I wish I could see him

Agreed.

invite him to live with u then

+Shoua Yang 😂😂....."You stupid (in a funny way).

He deserves a mansion

Deena Marie yeah

Deena Marie 7 more then that

Amen

Have to take care of the worthless welfare rats instead.

They only made this country worse.

He deserved to be treated with respect and cared for.

Now that we have Biden, he says all illegals in U.S. will have citizenship and gov't assistance. But, somehow this guy is a bum?

Amen Mary I wish I could see him..

Its shameful that ds great nation has homeless veterans, amongst which ex marines! Gdbls them!

It's more important to help refugees from Syria! Ask Angela Merkel😂🙏🏻They don't care about us....sad story

SEMPER FI NOT ONLY DID YOU SERVE OUR COUNTRY BUT YOU GAVE US WONDERFUL MUSIC. THANK YOU. SIR FOR YOU SERVICE YOUR SACRIFICES AND YOU WILL TO KEEP GOING MY COVER OFF TO YOU

Yup that's the army for you guys dont let your kids join

@Rogeball PB true

Agreed. He's a warrior. Thank You For your service. sir. Best of luck..

Just wants to see his son miss him so much in his life, heart broken Godspeed his healing process of lost loved one and get back on his own 2 a better life moving forward,👍😔.

im homeless toos donate me sum money $10,000 will do haha

Temmie Tem

WELL U NEED MONEY FOR COLLEGE

Temmie Tem oh my gah TEMIE CAN SPEK

Oh you wanna donate all the sudden bc he plays piano

Cowboy Curtis have a little respect man

Cowboy Curtis obviously you have unreasonable hate towards military. Thats cool i get it. But some people go as a choice man. I loved highschool.. english and history were my best subjects.

Cowboy Curtis i agree he's those things but i just feel like when a man earns that awesome title of Marine, it should stay with him forever

Cowboy Curtis those things have nothing to do with being a marine, you’re just venting your anger and putting aside logic. You can’t compare earning the title of marine and being stripped of your title as a Doctor because of medical malpractice... come on, even a middle schooler can see that.

Homeless marines exist. Period.

I know homeless guys WITH jobs living in their cars in California USA because they don't want to pay rent... rent is too high and weather is good so why not

Let alone people who have served our country

Some people deserve it

Mikey gril

Right

The country should help him but America is horrible even to those who fight for it

I agree. I really hate the way they framed this video in that respect. It was quite demeaning. Not necessarily on purpose, but it shows that people still look down their noses at people who have fallen on hard times and live on the street. A little more thought in what they were saying and HOW they were saying it would have gone a long way in my opinion.

It is funny how we have a supposed president who is so about the flag and patriotism and taking such great care and respecting our troops........ but have yet to see him ever do anything to help if it doesn't fill his pockets

SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK!

Mystery 123 me

That's what the army is about hun they just use you

Unbelievable sad 💜

@@evelyntarawa7140 it really is, I get rogeball PB but idk the army does drive some people insane.

He's not an ex marine, he is a marine! Once a marine, always a marine. He earned that title.

@@ajg8600 my

Patrick Guy How is this possible our country's HEROES TO BE HOMELESS ??? I get so angry to see how the system let down those who SACRIFICE AND SERVE ! I am a Coast Guard proud mom ! Thank you for you're service to all who serve and they're families and more to be done for our HREOES !!!

Yes, and no one should b homeless rly.

This kind of thing always sickens me... This man,,any man or woman that offers their life to defend our freedom (no matter your country) should NEVER be left without anything..Their country owes them and should never forget them any day or any year....November 11th is but one day...They fought for us EVERY day and still do...This is where the governments fail.. "fight for us you're the greatest hero...come home and you're forgotten"..Disgusting

Yes👏 It’s a shame!

Welcome to reality

he's serving his country,but his country doesn't serve him back i think.because of stupid politics may be

Yes sir! You GET IT! I am a Proud MARINE DAD!!

You mean.. Noone would be homeless right?

@@darrellwilliams1714 Especially a marine/veteran... We owe them

@@kimheinis8201 we owe them what? Basic human rights like very one else? Nobody should be homeless regardless of what they chose for a job. And yes the military is a job. They chose to do it ,so we don't really owe them anymore than anyone else.

What is Semper Fi

But folks still voted Biden.

And people shouldn't be killed by drunk drivers. It's a mad world.

​@@ZandrichMynhardt Meaning...?

I was in the Army, if he is homeless it’s because in one way or another he decided to do so. And leave politics out of this.

meaning their retarded. Edit* trump fixed VA clinics and increase solider pay, while every dem was against it. Remember when trump increased military spending... how outraged the Demonrats were...

@bosco;hi

@@smitheric6038 hey, he plays good

No one should be homeless

Lenny The Troller that's true but a Marine (and other service personnel) was willing to give his/her life for America and America isn't willing to help them when they need it

Galactic Fox Gaming well we pay taxes 😂

Well they serviced, they risked their life for you. Also they paid taxes when they had a job so..

Yeah but he did a lot for ur country. Ur just sitting on ur couch never thinking about homeless people cuz you were born with a home. :/

He does now!!! YAYAYAY!!!!!!!!

Amen

True

Very honest word

Sometimes a step, sometimes 100 miles.. Just don't judge!

Nope.... I can def judge without any of that . If society ran by this philosophy...we would have no laws or justice.

Definitely the title should be changed.

Amen brother

Amen

Aren’t “former” and “ex” synonymous?

@@Brian-js6me saying ex marine is disrespectful. Talk to anyone in the military and they will say the same thing.

Democrats don't care*

@@mikedamacenos this HAS to change......😢

It seems that's what happens when a lot of your money goes to buying drugs.

The Marines should make a living barracks for ex-soldiers so at least they have a place.

@@nyrockchicxx they should let them go on any of the bases and stay there right... something is better than nothing

Cowboy Curtis If someone has the commitment to complete a term of service as a Marine instead of entering into college just to pay off a debt for the next 20 years, I would respect the former more than the latter.

Cowboy Curtis Surprising as it may seem to you, public education isn't part of a wonderful dreamland where everyone has a choice to be perfect in every way. If your path is destined for failure, it is better to take advantage of the life that does not make you a slave to an educational system that didn't really do you much good.

Cowboy Curtis, it appears your "so called" education, hasn't remedied your ignorance. I "chose" to serve my country. Not due to a lack of options as you so claim. I attended college before I went into the Marine Corps. However, liberals, millennials, & people such as yourself, wouldn't understand the reasons for serving ones country & fellow man. You know I find it odd, you call me dumb, yet you call yourself Cowboy Curtis. Look up what cowboy means. Then talk to me about dumb. Stop & think about what you say, before you say it. It'll relieve the pain of removing your foot out of your mouth.

EarMode he is like most of us i was also in the corp we see our friends go to the va for help and a lot of times the va makes matters worse they killed three of my best friends with toxic pill cocktails before they hit 40

steven chamberlain Yeap helped kill my Dad with medication changes. I’m also A Marine served 82-86 Camp LeJeune was a 3521.

If he was Excommunicated like the title says then I don't believe that the VA will treat him. If he's a FORMER Marine, they have a duty to help him.

EarMode they should be taking care of all veterans. Not just ones that play piano.

Agreed. They certainly take care of me after serving 21 years in the Army. My body is broken.
