Homeless 9-1-1

(Start with Handheld-Ambulance-with-Lights mp4 video only :14 and my audio behind it.)

D.O.A. A pedestrian crossing the street is tragically struck and killed. Typically, the police or EMT’s locate a driver’s license or ID card and the next of kin rush to the hospital.

But often, that’s not what happens when the victim is homeless.

Listen to this eye-opening story from Hickory, North Carolina.

A 30-plus-year veteran of the streets…nicknamed “Spoon”, real name, Michael Squire…was struck and killed by a 79-year-old driver, last night.

Our friend Jerry and his homeless friends got the word while celebrating their mealtime fellowship at Golden Corral, today. All three friends were crushed.

Details of the accident made everyone want to cry…especially when Abel talked about Spoon’s mentally handicapped “street son.”

A story about the death of a homeless person nicknamed “Spoon” is being prepared by the town’s local newspaper, “The Hickory Daily Record.” We trust they will show the late Michael Squire the proper love and respect he is due. Because that’s how Spoon’s homeless friends all remember him.

Abel recalled…

Later that day, Jerry caught up with two more of Spoon’s homeless friends No Start and Savannah who paid their respects. Jerry asked No Start…

Then, it was Savannah’s turn.

No Start revealed the times that he has been struck by hit-and-run drivers.

IMG_1971 (:08 gap…start at 2:14 “I’ve been run over a couple times”…out at 2:22 “all the way to my knees.”)

Sidestepping speeding cars on street corners is not the only challenge faced by the homeless. Savannah recalls…

(IMG_1971 :21 gap…start at 1:09 “My best friend got attacked by a machete on Black Friday, this year”…out at 1:30 “doesn’t remember the attack.”)

Spoon’s friend, Angi, summed up his loss, best.

We miss you….kill audio at 2:49 after “miss you” but leave video running and shift it to the left side of the screen with the right side containing the Cash App donation ID numbers to help with Spoon’s funeral and caring for his family.)
