Homeless Man-Cigarette Man 

Nancy O'Brien Simpson Nancy, Thank you for this. I guess the older I get, the more obligation I feel to do something for the world before I leave. I’m sure I’m helping the individuals I photograph and my viewers in different ways by creating these videos, but my aim is mainly to wake us all up to how off track we’ve gotten with our greed, racism and closed mindedness. Your comment made my day. Mark

Soft White Underbelly hey Mark, can we please start a gofundme for Jim? I created one but I don’t have Jim’s information to transfer the funds. I would feel better if you set one up. Thanks. P.S I’m looking forward to seeing more of Cigarette man’s story. He seem like a Genuine guy. I would love to start a gofundme for him too. 😊

@@SoftWhiteUnderbelly Mark...this is so true.. you are their voice!

Nancy O'Brien Simpson Yes yes yes! The foundation is not only built in the home, it’s created. Either good, bad or indifferent. Look at all the RU-vid channels popping up with survivors w/ DID. Again, it starts early on. I love the message of this channel and what he does.

Nancy if you belive what you wrote. . . go take a stroll down this "skid row" at night alone, you´ll see how "Their natures are to be good" real fast. . . you "ran a cognitive-behavior program in a prison" wow and you are a "psychotherapist who spent my career in criminal justice" wow. . . where? in fantasy land??

He is quite eloquent for a self taught guy. Quite impressive!!!!!!

@Jesus Christ Denton yea but while being homeless? You have to admit that's at least commendable

The really sad part is that in abetter environment he could have been a very productive member of society and could have has great kids, sad for him and a for us.

That is very remarkable, isn’t it an oddity how he separates himself from the “intelligent” people in his life like joshua his brother and Mytel the naive runaway

Genius

Awww that girl all way in Chicago

They are traumatically stunted in early childhood development. With that said, he has potential as an intellectual if given the chance to be educated. He would be a great success story

@@dontbelongherefromanotherp9807 Yes! It's not too late.

@@dontbelongherefromanotherp9807 Nah we all have sad experiences that make us cry time to time when we go back and remember them. Like if your mom dies or grandmaa or a certain event in your childhood sometimes even a little thing makes us cry especially when looking back at life. Its normal his other interview he was much happier.

Mike Miter Sounds like you didn’t really understand the comment by Don’t belong here, From another planet.

What's your insta? Your sexy asf

@NobleJoel LOL

@@mongolsmffm4829 My guy.. lmao. That's how you pick up a 6 in high school.

Yes.

Wow.. why are people hitting on each other on RU-vid lately? Like more and more in the past month 😂

He's a actor he's also the transgender sonyah. That mike interviewed

aderline johnson who??

aderline johnson that can’t be true how is he an actor wtfff

Detroit FettyGhost does mark notice this like wth

@@lunaamor878 Not to be a creep but I seen your picture months ago and said to myself "Damn!! She's Fine As Hell! I better get clean so I can propose!!! 😉😆😂🤣😭 Just kidding, you are SMOKING hot tho! I decided to get clean cause Id just stopped progressing in life at all and want more! Want better! Want love and to travel and to have some fun! Spent my WHOLE life struggling and decided to give this clean buisness a try! How are you doing? Are you an addict? Where u from? Thanks for reaching out, it's nice meeting you♥️!!!

Rianna Jaasmine I know I agree with you

He does.

Fucktrump Supporters we don’t. Your income, connections ,ambitions, parents, your environment and, your race all play a factor in a game of life. Everybody’s situation is different.

His foster brother

Hes one of the most genuine gentle souls I have ever met or personally known and had an entire lifetime of wisdom he always is sharing with others...he would literally give his last anything to anyone who he felt needed it more than he.

Seawatersoul you know him personally

Seawatersoul if you do know him please tell him that many of us think he is really pretty awesome. What a blessing it must be to know this man

@@cindyfitzgerald4500 I do know him...I work with the homeless (well I go down there and volunteer it's not an actual job or volunteer position its just something I chose to do as I once lived there myself!!) I have showed him he comment section and hes very appreciative for all the love...he believes we should all love another unconditionally. Thankyou I will definitely let him know ♡

@@YOUNGHEBREW I do 😉✌💛

I hope. He deserves better, and he's a fighter

If you're homeless you are not alright

@@jordaneffbaby8048 that's true. Being homeless is experiencing trauma daily. Its horrible .

I think Maurice was referring to this man's Strong Mindedness and Good Will nature. his Mindset will lead him in the right direction... 👍

He is old he lived a long life im the end of the day when he dies he will have nothing Like the rest of us so there not regret there

Facts 💯

Sending ALL my love and hugs to you sweetheart 💕 ill never understand it either... I recently found out that im pregnant with my first, and as soon as i told the father he immediately wanted nothing to do with me or the baby. Been threatening me for weeks, threatening the baby, saying the worst things he can think of... Saying he'll never see the baby and will always look at it like a mistake that ruined his life.. I have no idea how these men can father children, and not be a part of their lives. Not even TRY... Ill never be able to understand how they can live their lives knowing they have children out there that desperately wanna see them and just want their approval and love.... Just know that your dad not being in your life, is HIS LOSS ! You're an amazing man and you deserve better okay??

Yummie mummiee baaabyxoxo thats crazy.. It sucks.. but do you have a way I can communicate with you more? I’m not really on RU-vid comments like that😂😂

My least favorite part about not having parents is when i am so upset and confused that i want to scream "i want my mommy" but i dont have parents and have to work through shit by myself.

Nicole Courtney dang, I’m sorry.

@@trezzygang7689 we all have stories and struggles 🖤 thank you

Right, it's sad they slip through the cracks

And that we should never judge a book.....so many people who were given shitty starts in life hopefully 1 day that will end

He's a actor he's the transgender sonyah as well

@Lugubriously not true at all!! I've worked with and have helped both sonyah and david and believe me they are two very completely different people!! I wish these dumb donkeys in the comment section would stop spreading misinformation that could hurt our most vulnerable community!!

LOL stop making a fool of yourself.

I volunteered with my sister down on Skidrow in LA a few months ago and we have him a cigarette. She still goes down there and volunteers.

Well said. That's one intelligent and resilient person. Incredibly admirable

He’s a murderer, gtfoh with this saint bullshit.

Yes! I've been trying to send him money for about a week now

@4dem2H8on he works with @beauty2thestreetz on IG and he declines efforts to get off the streets

@@mdv1013 I love shirley ! I found her through this channel actually, and I fell in love with “cigarette man “ and how protective he was with her, and always wanting to help with something. lmao while being his crazy self😂 , I’m so glad I watched this and saw this side to him and heard him share his story

@@mdv1013 oh really why?

yes!!! & you can also tell how much this man trusts him when he said "when we're off camera, i have to tell you something else" like (': that's so sweet, he wants to share his fuLL story with mark !!

Amen!!

Other than the alphabet and basic arithmetic school doesn’t do much else, up to you how much you want to learn

He's a actor he's the transgender sonyah as well

Dildo right idk what this person talking about

@@AnitaDarmp it's definitely the same person smh

@@stickyfloor1820 And History, and Music (if you're lucky, at least the basics), and basic Chemistry, Biology etc etc. - and there's the fact that teachers take a largely thankless, low-paying job because most of them genuinely want to have a positive impact on students, to make them want to learn about the world around them. Of course, as they say "you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them drink" - they can try to present the information in as engrossing/digestible way as possible, but if somebody just wants to sleep through class and thinks they don't "need" school, that's their loss.

The BillionDollar Bond You dont miss what you never had

Thank you Sharel. You dont know how much I needed that. God bless you.

Thankyou

God bless you and your family.x

i needed this.

thank you

Soft White Underbelly Mark you are changing the world consciousness🌻

i think that applies to most people on this channel, they all had a rough start and it's almost impossible to survive when you start out like this

He's a actor he's the transgender sonyah as well

@@aderlinejohnson8566 Shut the fuck up.

He is doing great things on the street for others.

ANOTHER ANGRY HOBO CHANNEL give me a fucking break.

Its sadly not even possible right now where we are. Nothing is open or hiring people. I hope all this blows over soon and he can get a job too he is such a sweet soul and i could listen to him all day. Captivated. Maybe he could get a lisense and be an uber driver. People would pay to hear his stories.

Sigrun Anderson- hey my Norwegian friend how you doing???? Much love from a Norwegian American. My family is from Njorfjord Norway, Seljax Parish. Be safe with this Covaid-19 shit!!!!!!!!

@@detroitfettyghost8492 Hei, nice to hear from a American-Norwegian - How are you doing? This is crazy, have you been in Norway? When we have social media, its only a letterkeystrokes away. I am doing fine, you know, Norway is a country that if you struggle, and you want help - there is always help for you. I watch this videos, to learn more about drugs and what it does to people, and its really bad stuff, that I can see. Take care you too!

Fellow Norwegian here! This guy desreves the best in life!

@@ziggywalsh5562 where are you from in Norway?

However not everyone has or Is taught the coping mechanisms needed to heal or let their trauma go. And then sometimes Not everyone wants to actually live a "normal pain free life"...some people can get right back up and keep walking others will lay down and let their spirits die because they have nothing to lose and have never felt or are capable of feeling unconditional love. Some have been punished their entire lives and dont know anything else but dysfunction and chaos so continue to punish themselves because its what is most comfortable for them unfortunately. 😥

@@seawatersoul333 dude he got emotional over hus moms death and his dads hate for him we would all cry on that and we all cry on something why does society now a days look down upon on crying and look at it as a mental issue! We cant be happy all the time! yeah some ppl cant over come their traumas those are the ones whocommit suicide but this man has! its just when we look back and live them again in our minds that does make us sad!

@@mikemiter6088 I wasnt talking about him being emotional in this video
