This is a new move that I've noted.. and we have to remember the World Cup is coming so they want this new heartless system of herding drug addled human chattle to work perfectly in line with the agenda every city has when a large tourist attraction comes to town: clean up the homeless!
That's nice but I don't care. Well.. I care enough to refrain from doing a piece about a major health issue that's probably effecting the homeless and probably by sinister design but I am considering waiting just until the World Cup is over to post it. And your fuckin lucky because it would probably not look so great
I don't want to the story to loose importance because of some event. I want it to get to people because it needs to.
Be aware of this new tactic. One shelter I called for beds in the North shore had this bullshit person answer after a guy told me to call back. She was new and young and stupid-an epidemic everywhere nowadays. She kept stalling and brushing me off. Two call backs later she claimed there was someone with her same high pitched tone and Indian accent working in that location...yeah, right. With the same name even! "Maybe there are two people here!". One thing I know about Hindi people is they make the absolute worst most implausible excuses for things not getting done I've ever heard from anyone.... any where. It's actually a source of amusement-there should be a website (Not Sehks. They are ancient warrior class..they don't make excuses for themselves they just handle it which is why they are left in charge of things often).
On the next callback I was transferred to 911. I got an oddly aggressive "what's going on" as opposed to someone sounding as if I may need help so I immediately asked them if they wanted to file against whoever transferred me for wasting their time as well as filing a false report. That got the tone back to normal rather quickly. It ended quickly.
Called back. Informed them that using such a resource as a form of intimidation will not be tolerated. That wont happen again believe me. I also immediately informed little miss that I have absolutely no problem coming down to the shelter in person tomorrow and seeing who's in charge and reporting all of it. Again, the crap stopped.
So it seems that due to heightened security for the upcoming event, people seem to be getting very bratty and overdramatic.
You're going to have to think quickly and I have phone experience and I have years of working with these theories (basically-getting harassed in extreme, fucked up ways) so if you can't handle it at least don't get triggered, fall for entrapment or get framed up as some security threat. They love entrapping and framing people who are inconvenient around here, believe me I know.
So I kept calling back. Eventually,
