Honolulu Homeless Sweeps: In Their Own Words  

We are raising funds for personal items to those in the videos🤙🤙please visit www.everydaystruggle.org to help

all these homeless men appeared to be in fairly good spirits. I think the homeless individual here are aware of the challenges facing their situation and cope with it pretty well.

There are many many homeless people who have “fell through the cracks” and really need and deserve help. And yes, some are drug / alcohol related. And a lot that need psychiatric help. And then you have the lazy ones. Don’t want to work. Who would rather go around stealing bicycles, mopeds or whatever you have in your garage that they can walk away with. Born and raised here I’ve seen it turned into an Epidemic 😩 🌴😎🌈Aloha🤙🏼

They should stop babying the homeless. They feed them, let them live where ever they want, use the bathroom all over the place, never arrested for anything, don't pay any taxes, just being a problem. Stop babying them. They are just living off of it. They don't want to work for anything. All they want is everything free.

Of course they would work if someone would hire them but most employers do not hire the homeless. Our society is not nice to homeless people. We have sheltered people who don’t work and live off of the government, but i guess that’s acceptable (not). I was recently in Honolulu and i saw a lot of older homeless people sleeping at the gas station and sitting in wheelchairs. The problem is that We don’t have enough affordable housing for seniors, but provide housing for those who are able to work but chooses to have kids and live off of assistance.

JOSH GREEN(E) and others received pay raise. If only they give half of it away and send back the MAINLAND HOMELESS. Tattoo their right wrist, so if they do comeback. FINE THE AIRLINES.

I wish any healthy homeless can be provided by the government to clean the city streets and get paid, there is so much to do

WHOOO LETS GO HOMELESS PEOPLE!!🎉🎉 THESE MISTAKES OF NATURE ARE INCREDIBLE

Most of the homeless choose to not follow the rules in shelters, they choose this way of life, some how they just move to another location, and continue to do what they want.

So, what options do they have?

Small island, and I've NEVER seen any of those cats around.

You could just keep all of your stuff inside of a single backpack. Leave before the sweep.

The one legged man in the chair an exception , but there are jobs you can work seated many handicapped do. The rest of these interviews they seem able bodied enough, there are no jobs they can do?

creep sweeps make my neighborhood unsafe

Is Hawaii a sanctuary state like California and New York? Gov Abbot should fly some immigrants over to a nice and warm place. 650 billion a year to fund illegals in the US. 15 billion to build a wall. Imagine if a fraction of what we spend on illegals could be spent on American homeless especially the veterans.

My life was boring, not like his. I worked a 9 to 5 job for 45 years and retired comfortably going on for 24 years. Pay now or pay later,

So sad that they are treated like this. They homeless can’t afford Hawaii because of the greed from government and real estate investors. No more ALOHA in Hawaii; that’s the truth.

So what’s the answer?

Where do you want these people to go ? Where's the Aloha ?

Fema. Camps forced rehab forced labor

The sweep need a bigger broom.

When that junk movers truck pulls up and those big brothas hop out. You got 5 mins to take what you can carry and the rest goes in the trash. lol. I call them the repo men. Don’t try to camp ala Moana or Waikiki. You will get evicted. Lol

The bottom line is INFLATION - COST OF LIVING. Politicians CAUSED this by their poor decisions.

So much land in 49 states , so wrong for other states to send their homeless . Yes, some states winter is too harsh , yet instead of florida and California, Nevada, Arizona they send them to the state with the least land and cut òff ftom other states . Just on land and limited housing Hawii should be exempt.
