He went on: There is a plain distinction in between being ‘homeless’ – not having your own home, and sleeping outdoors every night since of an absence of other alternatives.” And in a more tweet he stated: “But there is a huge distinction in between not having your own home, and sleeping out in the cold every night. I’m in it for those who require me who are desperate, who have no place else to turn. Not those who leap up and down, make a great deal of sound, however do not wind up altering a single life since they’re just in it on their own.”
