Homeless man pleads for help after denied access to migrant shelter in Roxbury, Massachusetts
A video went viral on social media on Thursday showing a homeless man angrily pleading with police after being denied entry into the new migrant shelter set up in Roxbury, Massachusetts.
The Melnea Cass Recreational Complex which gives local children a safe place to play, will now be shut down for at least 3 months to house migrant families according to Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey.
She toured this closed down facility on the exact day the 4th and final Walgreens Pharmacy closed its doors in Roxbury, Massachusetts, which has been a major concern in this community that feels it’s resources are running thin.
Why Governor Healey chose to close down a recreational center in Roxbury (one of the poorest neighborhoods in Boston) of all places, is raising serious concerns of residents in Massachusetts.
The homeless gentleman in the following video is clearly frustrated that the local homeless population is not receiving the same help and attention that homeless migrants are. Warning the video does contain explicit language.
