Video: "Homeless people read mean tweets"

Homeless by Alexis Rodriguez


              
                       This Article is about homeless people reading things of what the public thinks about them on twitter. Let me tell you right now, those tweets aren’t nice at all. The tweets basically say things like why do they smell so much, when they see a homeless person they get disgusted and so on. At the end of the video the homeless people start crying. It’s like if people treat them as others, as if they’re not human and don’t have feelings. Homeless people shouldn’t be treated as individuals; they are just like everybody else. They too have a beating heart, with feelings and emotions.

                By looking at their faces as they read the tweets, I see how much pain they are in after reading them. They are in shock as too why people would say mean things about them, really makes the viewers open their eyes and realize the things they go through every single day. Some of the people in the video have been homeless for quite some time.

                I feel so bad for them because some go through it alone and the ones who are a couple, are rejected by the public because they are homeless. Also because in the video it is freezing cold and some of them that are wearing jackets to keep them warm, is probably all they got. Its things like these that make me want to help them. To change this community for the better.
