Okay bro, here it is. Homeless is a major problem in U.S. There are thousands of people just living on the street. All they wish is that they can have a nice bed, well home for that matter. But instead they are living on the street in the hot, cold, and rain and even snow. In the street lawyer there was a lot of talk about homelessness and trying to figure something out to help them. But I cant speak for all but from what I have seen homeless people do not try to help themselves. They sit on the side of the road and wait for someone to give them a dollar. But lets say they get lucky and some nice person comes along and gives them 5? What do you think the average homeless person would do with it? Get food? Try and get cleaned up a little bit so they can get a job? No they are going to walk there happy little buts to the liquor store or buy a pack of cigarettes. That is the reason why I do not like to donate money to them. 
If someone is homeless they messed up somehow in there life to get in that position. Weather it be drugs, drinking or just lazy. Im not going to take the time out of my day or give them my money if they are going to take it and go buy some crack. Now there is a big difference between being homeless in Cleveland and Washington D.C. In D.C. everything will be a lot more expensive then anywhere else because of all the the people that money. Washington D.C. is a very wealthy city. With all the lawyers doctors and shoot even the President lives there. Now, in Cleveland I wouldn't say its poor but there is a lot less money in this city so things will be cheaper. Food, clothes, and everything that a homeless person may want or need. Including crack. Which is not a good thing. The reason why homeless people do drugs in because one, they don't have anything else to look forward too, and two if they are sober they might be thinking a lot and they will get all depressed. Well if they all mess up on drugs then they wont care about anything until they are sober. That is the same thing with alcohol they will just drink and drink till they pass out, Then wake up and they will do it all again. 
I feel like if a homeless person went to a shelter, got somewhere to stay, get cleaned up a little bit they could go out and get them selves a job. even if they make 8 bucks a hour it is a least something so they can get out and maybe save up the money to get a apartment or something like that. Then if they want to get out the city they can keep saving and get a car. I mean shoot (I wanted to use a different word) they can even say screw the house or apartment and get them selves a car and they can just live out of that. then you can get to work, and get around the city faster and even get another job somewhere else. Just got to make sure you get a Chevy so your car does not break down all the time. 

Article bro

                                                  Women overdoses behind the wheel.

 Two Illinois state troopers saved a woman’s life who had overdosed on opioids while driving a car. The 41 year old woman was barely breathing when the troopers found her on the side I-294 with a blown tire Sunday night around 8 p.m. Neither trooper had used the lifesaving overdose medication NARCAN before Sunday but they recognized the woman’s symptoms and saved her life.  


I think this girl needs to go to jail for a long time. It is one thing to O.D. at your home, but driving a car? Just the fact that this girl was using drugs that could kill her and she was diving a car, putting everyone around her at danger.

In this great book called the Street lawyer. Micheal and Mister are pretty similar in a few ways. Mister the broke into the lawyer firm and he was threatening to kill everyone inside. He had what everyone thought was dynamite but it was cut red broom handles. He really wasn't going to kill everyone he just wanted them to donate a little bit of money here and there for the homeless. He just really wanted some help he was in the homeless shelter that he was kicked out of and that just made life for him kinda bad. On the other hand we have Michael. He was apart of the firm that kicked mister out of where he was living. Before the whole mister thing he was just a man that wanted to make some money. Which he was doing quite well, he but after he had talked to mister he wanted to make a change to help more people, not just himself. So he decided to be a street lawyer. He took a huge pay cut with with new job and he also got a divorce. 

With the street lawyer taking place in Washington D.C. money, race, and power all have a lot to do with someone living there. Washington D.C. is a very wealthy city. If you don't have money and you live in DC you better get a really good job or you will be living on the street. With living there the prices for food are outrageous. Living expenses  are crazy and it might be very hard to find a job if you don't have a good background in whatever you want to get a job doing. Washington DC is also a very powerful city. That is also why everything is so much money. Because there is so much money within the city.

Is Michael life on a down words spiral I can go both ways on this question. In a way yes, I believe that his life is going on a down words spiral. My reason being he was in a some what good marriage of a few years. He was an antitrust lawyer making 120,000 a year. Living a alright life just working all the time. With his wife making a decent living herself being a nurse. His wife always complained that he never had time fore her because he was always working. Then his life takes a turn and he quits his job and starts making 30 thousand dollars a year being a street lawyer. He was doing something that he enjoyed and he could spend more time with her but his wife "the gold digger" doesn't like that and she wants to get a divorce with him. So yes he lost his wife and 120,000 dollar a year job, but he is also doing something that he enjoys. Plus the wife was just in it for the money obviously so he doesn't need her anyways. Those are my thoughts on what I think his life is like.

Michael's activities become questionable and even illegal.  Are these actions justified? Is is another question that I can also go both ways with. I can say no they are not justified because he is a lawyer that had preform a task that was vary illegal and he couldn't even use it in court because it was stolen. But at the same time I think that is was good because it would have helped him build a little bit more up on the case. But if he gets caught stealing something then he can lose his job. So at the same time its not even worth it.
