Whilst passing through the north-east corner of Lincoln’s Inn
Fields I was accosted by a drug addict. This person would have been drawn there
by the food handouts that regularly set up stalls in the area.
The drug addict had asked me to give him some tobacco and
when I informed him I had none he immediately became aggressive and insulting
towards me. I have been harassed by this individual before and while weary of
him I assume his bark is worse than his bite.

The drug addict is about in his mid-fifties and ordinates in
Kerry, Ireland. His mode of conduct towards me when I refused his request for
tobacco was to run a short distance ahead of me and then taunt and insult me.
And as I moved along towards him he’d skip further ahead and when feeling at a
safe distance he’d again issue further insults and taunts to me.
Not only was the drug addict getting a thrill from abusing
me, he was also very obviously getting a kick out of the attention his act of
aggressive stupidity got from other people in the area. It seems he was getting
two birds with the one stone. First, he was getting revenge on me for not
giving him tobacco. Second, he was bigging-himself-up in front of the numerous
other food handout clients that were at the time in the immediate
vicinity.
For the most part this type of aggressive and idiotic conduct
is all part and parcel of venturing through a food hand-out in London. Though
there was something that wasn’t quite within accepted norms for this incident
and that was the Green Light medical volunteer/employee who got great glee from
sneering and laughing at the drug addict’s abuse of me.

This Green Light volunteer/employee (pictured right) didn’t
make any attempt to hide his hilarity at seeing me being verbally abused,
assailed and harassed by the unstable and mentally unbalanced drug addict.
Whilst he heartily sneered and laughed at my attempts to
extricate myself from the company of my tormentor he had with him at least two
colleagues, whom I am quite sure are also associated with Green Light. I
believe part of the reason for his ridiculing laughter was to impress these
colleagues.
When I saw the atrociously disgusting carry-on of this Green
Light volunteer/employee I assumed he was with the Samaritans – this is the type of foul conduct I’ve come to expect from Samaritan volunteers.
I thus approached him and asked whom he represented and he,
with astounding arrogance, informed me he was with Green Light. The narcissism
emanated from every pore in his body.
I had a neighbour once with special needs who received a
large financial pay-out after being in an accident. When he got the money he
pranced around like he was God. He thought the windfall made him the bee’s
knees and all his old friends were dropped whilst he attempted to climb to a
higher social stratum.
I suspect this Green Light volunteer/employee has a similar
mentality to this former special needs neighbour of mine. It seems he thinks
that going out with a Green Light medical van into the midst of a horde of
homeless people gives him carte blanche to belittle and sneer at them.
Or perhaps he has purposefully joined Green Light in order to
be among vulnerable people whom he feels he can bully, belittle and sneer at?
This isn’t so far-fetched as paedophiles are known to purposefully work their
way into positions where they’ll have easy access to victims.
What was even worse with this Green Light “medical” team was
that they had allowed a member of the vulnerable community to latch himself
onto them. This person is male, quite large and goonish; and from what I’ve
seen of him has an IQ that hovers somewhere around the South Pole.
I took a picture of the Green Light personnel in question and
then took a photo of their vehicle. Whilst doing so I could hardly believe it
when the goon began threatening and abusing me. From his short association with
Green Light it seems he assumed he had authority to forbid people taking
photographs in the public area.
At one stage he made towards me as if to attack me. Green
Light staff/volunteers then tried to dissuade him be coaxing him and gently
rubbing his arm. It would have been comical if not for the serious consequences
if this goon – believing he had authority from Green Light to do so – attacked
someone and seriously injured them or worse.
I’ve seen him involved in numerous physical fights. His modus
operandi is to latch himself onto those who are conducting food and clothes
handouts. When he has inveigled his way into their company he presents himself
to the vulnerable community as being an authority figure. From this position he
then finds it easier to throw his weight around and lord-it-over others in his
peer group.
I can understand how this goon’s sly inveigling might work
with ordinary people who go out on the street to give aid to the homeless. But
I can’t understand how an outfit like Green Light, who presents itself as a
medical group, could let a member of the vulnerable community latch himself
onto them and then start to blatantly bully and abuse others in the area.
