The Interview That Got The Channel Going: She Was Killed A Year Later Over A $10.00 Debt

All drug references were removed. KZbin no longer recommends my videos and daily people are unsubscribed that didn't do so on their own. I'm experimenting to determine if removing drug talk changes anything. I don't think so, but it's worth a try.
If you noticed with some recent homeless interviews I skip anyone's drug history. What's the sense of a channel if no one knows it? It's fun to chat, answer questions, etc.
KZbin used to promote my videos. Initially, all a creator had to worry about is not promoting or glorifying drugs, which I didn't. There was no need to. Now a creator isn't supposed to reference drugs, legal or otherwise, even if lets say a drug is legalized in a video where it was shot. Ultimately, KZbin decides what is permissible. I'm find with that, but the rules are constantly. KZbin promoted all my viral videos without any editing at the beginning.
I'm assuming my channel will continue to decline despite any changes. The good news is I was uploading the videos for my own use and never really counted on anyone subscribing or watching to begin with. I've never once asked someone to subscribe, share, give a thumbs up or comment. Four years ago I had over 7500 stalkers blocked. I'm not sure what the number is now because the blocked list is not accurate or up to date. This channel isn't related to a popularity contest of any kind. I plan on keeping that way and uploading videos of interests of mine.

[@TheBlackSheepDiaries]

Tom you did a most professional interview without pushing her, hats off friend. I've been homeless a couple of times in my long life but for very short periods and while still having a job and car. She really did look wiped out and I wondered what happened to her chin. Just a week ago I had a day off and grabbed my metal detector, there was an old house I'd been wanting to detect for a long time and now signs were up that construction was about to begin and my chance gone forever. So I crept through some woods and came up to it and it looked perfect, but then I heard a voice, female. I stood there thinking, then shook my head and turned to leave. Suddenly a tiny young woman ran out onto the porch and asked if I was there to take pictures of the house. A tiny dog and a larger one came to greet me as well. I made small talk and tried to leave but she insisted I look at the inside of the house. I followed. It got really weird when she was showing me some shelves and old bottles and I got a creepy feeling and turned my head to see a young man sitting on a twin bed right behind me just smiling. I had no weapon, I'd forgotten my edc pocket knife. He got up and introduced himself and we shook hands. Then the young lady started showing me art she had painted. I told her the truth, that she was gifted and I'd buy one from her If I'd brought any money with me ( I always just bring ID ). She tried to give me one but I refused, telling her she could sell them. She said it was the best she could do with the few materials she had. They had no electricity and it was 95 at that point. The guy seemed very strange but she was so nice and sweet. I finally left and wished them luck, they didn't want me to do any detecting in the yard to draw attention and I understood. I left really bummed. No history discovered, only a young couple down on their luck in these hard times. A few days later I picked up some supplies for them while shopping for my son and I, I'm an old single dad. I vowed to go back the following week, this week, and give them a little help, not much but something. I pass by this location on my way to work and I ride a motorcycle most days. Going in yesterday morning, I spotted heavy equipment up by the house, my heart dropped. On the way home I stopped there, they were gone. Most of their stuff was still there. I stopped again today, no change and nobody had been there. It's Sunday so I guess the construction started end of last week, right after I met them. God only knows what happened to them and I just wish I knew that they were OK. So I got home and your video is the 1st thing I saw. Yes I'm very depressed, seeing this is just so terrible. The only silver lining in the dark cloud hanging over me right now is the kindness you showed this woman. God bless you friend.

Everyone needs to keep in mind that when it comes to the "Homeless," you just cannot catergorize them all under one label. There are different stages of being for them--which is too much to get into here & now, but in short, Penny was still in the beginning stages of her homelessness, meaning: she was still able to steer herself with an intact moral compass and has not yet lost herself in darkness as to stooping to committing serious felonies in order to get her "fix." Those who've gone too long in this process are ones who commit the latter mentioned type of offenses on a regular and become recidivists--there is, usually, no chance of saving them; however, in Penny's case--all she needed was for someone to believe in her and to actively pull her away from that predicament and to keep her out of it. The world was sadly, too little too late. I pray that she is in a better place now. :-(

I'm so happy you are actually showing the real shit that goes on in this world that others tend to censor. People need to see the reality of the situation in order to learn. There are always going to be people who use this information in the wrong way and there's no stopping that, so censoring it doesn't help anyone see the gravity of the situation.

The sick part is she knew which guys hurt and rape you and she had to do her best to try to filter that pain out as best she could.

it is sad, But ever hear of the saying, you can lead a horse to water. In a free society, this is what happens. Here purpose was to use drugs. Only being locked up in prision would stop it and get her off the street. Your allowing this to happen term, shows you care, but are sadly uninformed.

[@ey67]

@@genefogarty5395 yes and no. 78 cents of every dollar is spent on admiration and contractors. 22 cents is spent of the homeless. It's like any business. The homeless industrial complex exits to make money for a few. It's meant to be permanent. There are several categories of the homeless and many are hopeless with mental and health problems and they eventually die on the street or in the woods or in vehicles. But there are working homeless who cannot afford rent or have had health issues and are just poor. I was homeless because of existing on SS. And not affording rent. I am with VA and got housing 3 months ago. Very lucky. In addition, living on the streets is very hard and will drive you into isolation and you may develop issues just from your situation. One can become. I always stayed away from the other homeless. Being poor is almost a crime in this country. And it exists for a reason. Saint Ronny reagan'closed the majority of mental hospitals to save taxes. Said community would do the job the job better of taking care of mentally ill. Also everytime his adult diaper overflowed we got trickle down economics. How s that working out?

Buddy, I just stumbled on this channel today, and I am heartbroken by the description. Please, do not give up on telling these stories. People need to hear this stuff. There's not enough of these interviews in the world. People are so blissfully ignorant of how easy it is to fall into this. The only way to prevent more people like Penny is o expose this horrible system for what it is.

Thanks

Its never to late, Im coming up on 11 years sober. God bless you young lady. Im so sorry you died in that life.

[@donaldfulmer7804]

A society that duz care/help its weakest members, deserves to go under. Towards the end of losing ur soul to this world, it takes so little to pluck a person out of the fire. Tom , u treating her with kindness and opening others eye's is truely God's work. U could tell no one had spoke to her like she was a person in awhile.

[@chriso1585]

This was one I could never forget, just feel like getting her and taking care of her she’s so honest and pitiful

[@sharonjojo]

Rest in eternal peace, no body deserves to face each day & night like this, only to die a year later. I hope she & many others like her, are never, ever forgotten. 💔

[@daynasafranek7807]

It makes me so sad that her life was in such a terrible situation and that it ultimately ended. Such a hard life. People can criticize people not caring for her medical issues, but her family unit abandoned her first. People need to start with this disease BEFORE it starts and gets to this. RIP Penny, you didn’t deserve this. 🕊️

[@Fierce-One]

Soo heartbreaking! If only people couldve helped her! Such a sweet young lady. The world has become such an awful place. May Penny rest in peace. ❤

This is the first video i saw of yours years ago, and is the one i will never forget. R.I.P Penny

[@skylargreen7156]

I can't imagine the pain she had to go through all her life with a totally destroyed family and a path that led her down this path. Poor young soul. I hope you have found peace on the other side.

[@myrticearonson996]

How awesome that she was willing to give him the time for this interview. She’s telling it like it is for most ladies out there. And I’m sorry for what she’s going through. Thank you for sharing this with us. What a sad ending to such a beautiful spirit.

[@toddgilmore118]

I could picture her smart enough to work at an office desk! Talking to people... all pretty and clean. Nobody would even know this was her. She's really sweet talking, and seems to care enough to talk to this man. What a shame she passed.

[@mrs.georgeglass3997]

I think of this woman every time i don't feel like getting up or am losing faith for the hope there are humane humans among the masses. She deserved to know life of love and i hope shes dancing in the stars and filled with joyfully not desperate, no sense of urgency or panic sweetness!😔

[@MichigantoFlorida]

Hi Tom. I remember this video from a while back and it is so sad to see how society is in a mess right now. I lived at Michigan and 24th street till 1952, my parents moved to the west burbs. It's unfortunate to see how the Ave has transformed today, some areas cleaned up, but the decay is continuing. Poverty is a serious issue in our country and politicians make promises and the situation is not improving. We really need to have programs that actually help desperate people.

[@ChosenWon]

Cool. Yeah, you were there in the good old days. Thanks

[@everythingmeansnothing4019]

Teard up when she said that she slept alone under the bridge!! Hurts sometimes the reality that some people go through. I hope she has the chance to start again in the next life .

[@nikmuch1]

That's such a horrible area. I won't even drive through there let alone walk. This is so sad. Unfortunately there are so many more women out there just like her. It's heartbreaking.

[@yolondathorpe8117]

Especially on Michigan & Livernois.

[@scottmcallister7817]

So very sad all she needed was that one person that could get her in that rehab she so badly wanted a sad lose! Tom did a great job of showing total respect in this interview. My heart goes out to all those suffering from this disease called addiction.

[@ChosenWon]

Thanks

[@benjamindion7221]

Sad to think earlier in life she was a young girl that had hope and dreams and aspirations. Assuming someone at one point during childhood loved her or cared for her. Bad decisions mixed with horrible circumstances make those aspirations a second thought. It’s impossible to build for your future when your just trying to survive to the next day. Sorry to hear about this young lady’s passing. Hug your children every chance you can. Let them know they are loved unconditionally.

[@killthestereotype4601]

All those men who exploited her should be exposed

[@sunshinegirl2208]

This really broke my heart !!! Penny seemed like a really nice, soft-spoken person. It's sad that she got caught up in this lifestyle. Strangely I feel some kind of connection with her. It's truly sad that she passed away. I truly hope you are at peace now Penny. RIP sweet lady.

She was nice. Thanks

[@kandykisses4580]

Hello I did read everything that you spoke on under the description of video... I wanted to say that you are totally right when it comes to being yourself and doing what YOU like to do when it comes to your channel and who cares what anyone thinks... Its not a popularity contest... Though through the years your channel has seen a decline in popularity but only because of the content ... When you started up with interviewing people of all kinds from the streets and giving them a voice people listened... The content was raw and unfiltered... You were actually one of the first really bringing awareness and showing the darker ugly side of life(im talking 6 yrs ago)..... You didn't just get their story but you followed up on them and kept everyone updated. ... You made their life a part of your viewers... Love Your Videos.... There's other channels who are doing the same thing and their not being monetized for saying or referring to things.... I just noticed that they will mute the sound but not edit it out or use street lingo... I know you still do videos like the old days here and there, I just think if you did them like back in the day or update on ones you have already done to bring people curious of them back to the channel.... Bring awareness so they can get help.... Donations ... Or find family.... just a suggestion. ... I hope you always do what you love and keep the great content coming

[@ChosenWon]

Thanks. I started a channel to Chronicle my life. That's it. I have never once asked anyone to like, hit thumbs up or subscribe. It was never about creating a channel for others. KZbin makes or breaks a channel. Their philosophy changes. My type interviews with street people that use drugs or talk about them are no longer promoted. I haven't monetized a video in over a year. If you research channels like mine that have a change happen, there's really no way to get back to being recommended again. Thanks. I'm fine with it.

​@HighballJordan, we dont know if she choose this for helfself really.

[@JulieSevelson-nb9nj]

​@@I-Have-The-CuckooWell,this interview isn't about hatred of men. It's about some event that launched her into drugs and a risky existence, and there's also the role high rents have in keeping someone homeless. I would not want to be in my 30's or 40's today ! What Penny needed was a good, competent caseworker,who could have steered her into both rehabilitation and affordable housing.

[@shazzybotnet3969]

This is what Aldean's song is about. As a people, we need to unite to protect ourselves. This girl did not deserve the death she received. Yes, she made horrible decisions. She made her life. Yet, every minute of every day is an opportunity to change. Those were stolen from her. She needed protection, even from herself. Not to be preyed upon.

[@cherrybaby7774]

I couldn’t stop myself from crying from this interview, knowing her untimely and not deserved outcome won’t leave my mind I watch a lot of vids like this n find the phycology behind addicts genuinely interesting but this video just tugs at my heart strings really just wanted to jump out n hug her rest in peace sweet penny 🫶🏻

[@allensizemore1481]

She seemed like a sweet young lady even as she was at rock bottom. I hate that she ended up the way she did and wish someone had been able to help her. She was an innocent child at one point, and something went wrong early on in her life for her to not finish school and head down this path. Sad to know that she did not make it out of her situation.

Penny was the one that touched my heart the most and I've watched nearly all of your videos. I'm not emotional easily but it ripped me up when I saw she had passed. It's made me become much more involved in outreach in my city. I may have never touched a drug or drink in my life, but anyone who thinks that gives them the right to judge these souls is at level 0 on their spiritual journey. I have no place to judge any of these souls.

[@seekingtruth1110]

I remember watching that interview. So sad and tragic what happened to her.

[@mortkb]

KZbin should allow almost any content that deals with real world issues. Drug addiction is a serious issue and to hide it only limits people like you to show people how bad it really is out there. Best of luck to you. I subscribed and liked.
