wheels 543 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 gantmc, thanks for the insight. That is the first time I have heard detailed info on him. I long suspected something along those lines. It is really Sad. And if it isn't the case for Shane, for at least someone Homeless, it ends in a Death because of neglect and then Community goes oooh aaaahh, the Gvt has to do something and maybe even a new Gvt gets voted in, but nothing actually changes. I do understand how People can make fun of Shane, because they don't know or understand his background and for others like him. People only see someone that looks more like a "grifter" ( I think the term is). Someone that uses others kindness for their own gain. But that is not actually the case with Shane. As grantmc has said, these are survival instincts he has gained over the years because of his background. There are a small bunch of us here in Blenheim that discuss regularly the Homeless situation. We all work or have worked in various ways in all the Social issue areas. We constantly see Groups sprout up, gain funding, think they are going to change the world, achieve nothing and then it all goes quite again till the next comes along. All the time the real issues and real solutions are not being addressed at all and no one Gvt side will listen. I can go on, but seeing as it isn't "that" Forum, I will refrain. To bring it back to kind of boating topic, so what happened to his Boat?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
