(This letter was originally addressed to SMDP reader Mike Kirwan by Debbie Baron, the fiancé of Cancer Alucard, who was profiled in the SMDP on May 24, page 1.) You don’t know anything. Why are you doubting someone on the streets? First of all you don’t know him and second you are scared. Everybody has some kind of drug problem. I’ve lived in a house all of my life until a month and a half ago. It’s hard to live out on the streets. And it’s very hard to find a job when you are on the streets. When you are looking for a job you need an address and a phone number so they can contact you. I think it is very rude of people like you to automatically judge other people just because they are different than you.
Also, if you want you can always offer us homeless people a job instead of looking at us like nothing. Next time reread what you read instead of judging what you read the first time. Plus, there was also a lot of the article that the editor left out that was said in the interview.
