Chef Jim Posted October 3, 2019 Posted October 3, 2019 I didn't see any mention of this topic here. I assume many of you have heard about his seeing it's all over the news. I'm pretty sure this is a publicity stunt. First she doesn't look homeless. I've lived in CA a long time and I know a homeless person when I see one and she ain't it. Second if you look at the bags she's carrying they look brand new and the plastic one appears to have the holes in it freshly torn to make it look old. Seriously? Are people this gullible. Rhetorical question...... https://people.com/human-interest/homeless-opera-singer-subway-los-angeles-identified/ 2

KD in CA Posted October 3, 2019 Posted October 3, 2019 Reminds me of the time a cop bought a pair of boots for the barefoot "homeless" guy in NYC in the middle of winter several years ago (someone took a picture and the media went nuts). Turns out the guy had an apartment --- and several pairs of shoes. He was hanging out on the street corner with no shoes to increase his take from pan-handling.

PetermansRedemption Posted October 3, 2019 Posted October 3, 2019 Reminds me of the Johnny Bobbit story. Where he gave his last $20 to some couple that ran out of gas. Raised around $400,000 from the GofundMe. Whole scheme unraveled when the couple didn’t give Johnny his half and he sues them for it. Turns out the three of them set it all up together.

I’m not sure of your point. Actually I’m pretty sure is was recorded by a cop.
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted October 3, 2019 Posted October 3, 2019 To me it looked like she made a quick glance to her right as if she saw someone in that direction. I assumed poorly that she would want to avoid cops.

For me I realized it was likely fake when I looked at the picture. What's under the blanket on your cart deary? Ohhhhh nothing?? 1
Gray Beard Posted October 3, 2019 Posted October 3, 2019 https://mobile.twitter.com/LAPDHQ/status/1177423181679755264 She was filmed by the LAPD and they posted it on their Twitter account 1

The Dean Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 2 hours ago, SlimShady'sGhost said: A bit too clean all around. There are many levels of "homeless". I've met people who were "temporarily homeless", living in their car, couch surfing with friends when possible, "camping" when possible, showering/washing at a public bathroom, etc. It is quite possible to not be dirty/drugged out looking/whatever and still be homeless. With that said, I'm making no guess as to if this is real or fake. Seemed fake to me, at first. But it was filmed by an police officer and posted by the department. If you read the Twitter comments, folks say they know this woman, and it is not fake. But they could be lying, too. One final thought, it is LA and LA is a "company town", with the entertainment industry as "the company". So that throws more variables into the equation.
BUFFALOKIE Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 (edited) How do yo know I haven't already? Oh, wait am I in the right thread? I'm guessing that the new holes in the new plastic bag are for her pet gerbil. The empty chlorine bucket is where she stores her meds. The pretty canvas bag is for other toys. The wheeled basket: Plastic sheets and goose down comforter. Edited October 4, 2019 by BUFFALOKIE
