Published September 22, 2025 | Video Starts at 15:57

I don't stay at the shelter because I'm not safe. It's Darwinian survival of the fetish. There are about 350 shelters. I've been in a third of them, some of them MICA shelters for the mentally impaired and for the chemically addicted. And boy, there are no rules and regulations there. It's like the Shining with Jack Nicholson. You've got to protect these people. (15:57–16:06)
