You’re homeless in Washington, D.C.

I was a lawyer for 33 years in Corpus Christi, Texas.

You were a lawyer?

And I guess I’m still a lawyer (laughs)

I told you it was snowin’

Yeah

Yeah, I’m a lawyer

So you’re a lawyer?, then what happened?

Charlene the love of my life

..my wife died of brain cancer.

And I was homeless for many years

Oh, shit, it’s cold

There are studies which show the average homeless person in America has a higher I.Q. than the average American G.I.

Ian Anderson (of Jethro Tull) wrote the song Aqualung about a homeless man.

Aqualung alluded to the condition of pneumonia…a homeless man dying of the condition - fluid in his lungs choking him…he bends to pick a dog end (a discarded cigarette butt)...and reflects on his broken luck.

Aqualung

Jethro Tull

Sitting on a park bench
Eying little girls with bad intent
Snots running down his nose
Greasy fingers smearing shabby clothes, hey, Aqualung
Drying in the cold sun
Watching as the frilly panties run, hey, Aqualung
Feeling like a dead duck
Spitting out pieces of his broken luck, oh, Aqualung
Sun streaking cold, an old man wandering lonely
Taking time, the only way he knows
Leg hurting bad as he bends to pick a dog end
He goes down to a bog and warms his feet
Feeling alone, the army’s up the road
Salvation a la mode and a cup of tea
Aqualung, my friend, don’t you start away uneasy
You poor old sod, you see it’s only me
Do you still remember
December’s foggy freeze
When the ice that clings on to your beard
It was screaming agony
Hey and you snatch your rattling last breaths…
With deep-sea diver sounds
And the flowers bloom like
Madness in the spring…

Press of Atlantic City, 20 Oct 2015:

“Atlantic City man arrested after posting Facebook video of him punching woman”

Ibn Hunter, 25, was arrested Monday morning after video posted on Facebook showed a woman being knocked unconscious in the city’s Browns Park.

ATLANTIC CITY — Facebook isn’t always your friend, an Atlantic City man has learned.

The 45-year-old homeless woman is hospitalized with a serious head injury, and Hunter is in jail on $100,000 bail. The video shows a man standing up yelling at a woman sitting down in the city’s Browns Park.

“I ain’t gonna do what?” he can be heard asking the woman. “I ain’t gonna grab you? I ain’t gonna do what?”

“She said you ain’t gonna smack her dog,” a woman off camera is heard yelling.

The man then looks at the camera, pulls back his right arm and smacks the woman, whose identity is not being released.

“Bing!” yells whoever is taking the video as the attacker makes contact.

The woman then falls backward.

“It’s over!” yells the man behind the camera, laughing.

The attacker then looks right into the camera: “This (expletive) got (expletive) up saying I’m not gonna smack her.” The camera then pans over to the woman, who appears unconscious with a mark on her left eye. The attacker is then heard saying, “So any of you (expletives) talking that stupid shit is getting smacked and knocked the (expletive) out like that. I ain’t playin’.”

The video was originally shared on Facebook at 1:14 p.m. Saturday, posted under the name Bdsb BroadDay. The user then shared the video to his own timeline at least a dozen more times over the hours, most recently at about 2 Monday morning.

A screenshot of the attacker’s face and link to the video was seen by police on Saturday. Detective Neil Kane showed the photo to people at the Atlantic City Rescue Mission, who said the woman was in the hospital, Campbell said. It is unclear how she got there.

A warrant was then issued charging Hunter with aggravated assault.

Just before 9 a.m. Monday, Officer Brian Shapiro recognized Hunter at Kentucky and Arctic avenues, and the suspect was arrested. He has not yet been processed at the Atlantic County Justice Facility.

A former city resident shared the public video on her timeline after she recognized Browns Park, and tagged a Press of Atlantic City reporter in the post.

A link and screenshot were sent to police by The Press of Atlantic City. A link to the video was also sent to tip411, police said.

Police are still investigating who took the video. Comments by the person who first posted it indicate he was at least there.

“She tried to spit on him,” Bdsp BroadDay wrote on one comment, adding later that “Getting spit on is the most dirtiest thing ever.”

Hunter — whose first name also has been spelled Iben — has a record leading back to cocaine possession when he was 16 years old that resulted in a suspended sentence at the Training School for Boys and probation until he turned 18, according to information released by the Atlantic County Prosecutor’s Office at the time.

Court records show he also has five adult convictions, involving charges related to drugs and theft.

Anyone with information about the attack is asked to call police at 609-347-5766 or Crime Stoppers at 609-652-1234. Information may also be texted anonymously to tip411 (847411) beginning the text with ACPD.

Press of Atlantic City, “Homeless woman’s story began long before Facebook video”, 2 Nov 2015:

“You’re the one in the video, aren’t you?” Emily Baccari keeps hearing.

The former casino worker has been living on Atlantic City’s streets for months, but this unwelcome bit of fame is new. Baccari, 44, made national news after a video uploaded to Facebook showed her being knocked unconscious in Atlantic City’s Brown’s Park.

“I wish they were remembering me for something else,” she says.

Perhaps as the 30-year-old woman who moved to Mays Landing and got married. The casino industry was still doing well then, and Baccari was working as a dealer and floor person. First at the Sands, and later at the Atlantic Club and Hilton.

“She was actually a supervisor,” says Billy Wenz, a retired Atlantic City police officer who met Baccari while conducting homeless outreach.

There aren’t a lot of women on the streets, he says, so he knows all the ones who are.

“She was in control and doing good. Then the alcohol got her,” Wenz says.

Baccari tells her story honestly, although offering few details.

She went through brain surgery, job losses, bankruptcy and a fire that destroyed her home in 2013.

There is no self-pity as she talks about what led her from a childhood in Pitman, Gloucester County, to homelessness in the gambling resort.

“I’m not a bad person,” Baccari says. “I guess I’m a needy person is what I am. I have been through a lot. I guess that’s my problem.”

She also won’t accept help, says her sister, Jennifer Byrne Coles.

“It breaks our heart,” Coles says in a phone call from her home in Pitman. “We’ve tried with the courts, but she’s an adult. We can’t force her to do anything.”

They worry every day.

Sleeping on the streets isn’t so bad if you’re not alone, Baccari says. But without anyone, her anxiety and bipolar disorder make it rough.

She met her boyfriend — who didn’t want to be named publicly — some time in March. Searching for work, he lives with his mother in Hammonton, where he can’t have visitors. Sometimes he stays with Baccari. His friends also give her a place to shower every few days and use the bathroom.

“If it wasn’t for him, things would probably be 10 times worse,” she says.

Baccari skims over some of the tougher times.

A 2009 bankruptcy filing shows how her income dwindled from $37,575 in 2007 — about 32 percent below the median income at the time — to a little more than $19,000 the next year. By the May filing, she had made just $5,609. It also tells how from 2007 to 2008 she lost about $20,000 in “gambling losses, playing slots and other games.” In 2010, she was working in Harrington, Delaware. But it got too expensive, since she needed to rent a place there to avoid the six-hour daily round trip.

She quit and filed for disability. She was denied.

The next year, she briefly worked at Resorts Casino Hotel.

After a month, they let her go.

“They didn’t see me going the way their company was going,” she says.

But she still had her home on Durango Court in Mays Landing, due to the bankruptcy. Then, on July 4, 2013, her boyfriend at the time tried to put out a grease fire with water, she says.

Her home was lost.

The Red Cross put her up for a few days at a motel in Hammonton. It had bedbugs, she says. The Transforming Rental Assistance Program took over from there. But three weeks after the fire, Baccari had another place to stay: the Atlantic County jail.

She was caught shoplifting. Baccari says it was clothing.

“My house was uninhabitable, and I wasn’t allowed in it,” she says. “I needed clothes to live in.”

There are no tears as she recalls the story. No emotion in her voice.

Six months in jail cost Baccari her rental assistance.

She was told if she stayed at the Atlantic City Rescue Mission, she could get back into that program.

Months later, she had nothing but increased anxiety from trying to sleep at the shelter.

There are too many rules there, she says. And there are “crazy people” who talk to themselves or sometimes scream out at night.

“It’s not exactly a peaceful place to sleep,” Baccari says.

The rules may be the real reason, Wenz says.

Those staying at the mission must be inside sober by 9 p.m. Baccari likes to drink.

That’s what she was doing Oct. 17, when she crossed the path of a man whom police identified as Ibn Hunter.

Baccari isn’t sure what set Hunter off. She was sitting in Brown’s Park drinking a beer.

Set between two of Atlantic City’s most troubled neighborhoods, the park is often filled with homeless people waiting out the day before they can go back to the shelter.

“I personally didn’t like the park too much because people were doing heroin there,” Baccari says.

Video uploaded to Facebook shows no one around her reacting as Hunter yells at her.

Then he brings back his arm and smacks her across the face with what police say was a gun hidden up his sleeve. Baccari goes down. A close-up shows her out cold, a bruise already forming on her left eye.

A woman next to her picks up her beer and puts it on the other side.

“I just want to know why the girl — instead of stealing my beer — didn’t put her hand out and keep my head from hitting the ground,” Baccari says.

She woke up at AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center, her eye socket fractured and bleeding in the brain.

In Pitman, Coles saw the video on Facebook. She rushed down to her sister.

“We’re constantly dropping everything and running down to do what we can do,” Coles said.

But by the time she visited the police station and headed to the hospital, Baccari had already signed herself out, craving a cigarette, she says.

She ended up back at the park, where she saw the man who attacked her.

“He said he was sorry and asked if I was going to press charges,” she recalls. “It wasn’t much of an apology.”

She ignored him. She didn’t intend to press charges.

But last week, she had a seizure, the first since her brain surgery Feb. 29, 2000. She fears the attack caused their return.

Now, she just wants justice. She wants to make sure neither Hunter nor the alleged cameraman, Anthony Faulkner, gets out and tries to take revenge on her.

She stresses she didn’t turn anyone in.

“He got them both locked up,” she said of the cameraman. “If anyone’s to be blamed, it’s the one who put it up on the Internet.”

Veteran Pornhub Star Jenni Lee Is Now Homeless And Lives In Dark Sewer Tunnels Of Las Vegas
During her heydeys, Stephanie was one of the most recognizable faces of porn and was nominated for the AVN awards, the Oscar of porn films. Despite her condition, she seemed quite content and said she was happy. She was interviewed by a Dutch team of documentary filmmakers.

Jenni Lee was once a world-famous pornstar in the early 90s. Her life has drastically changed since those days of stardom. She now stays in the sewer tunnels of Las Vegas living a life of squalor and poverty. The 39-year-old was interviewed by a crew of documentary filmmakers who were working on a film about tunnels in the city. She was living in a 200-mile long labyrinth along with a few others and seemed content Jenni, whose real name is Stephanie Sadorra, was found occupying a small area of the man-made caves with the bare minimum to get by reports the Mirror.

Looking visibly different from her earlier and glamorous porn avatar, Stephanie was dressed in a jacket with her hair kept short and looked tanned and rugged through years of poverty and hardship. During the interview, she said she was “a little too successful” during her heydays and reminisced about the time she was a star in the industry. “I actually got very famous. I should still be in the top 100 on some list somewhere. I used to be so hot.”

Young Girl in Portland Homeless Since Her Foster Mom Kicked Her Out at 13

I met Hype in Portland, Oregon. She is 19 and has lived on the streets for 5 years. She was 13 when her foster mom kicked her out. Although this may shock you it is very common. 40% of homeless youth are never ever even reported missing.

The night before Hype slept under a bridge.
