Anthony Metzmeier Homeless Pan Handler


I saw Anthony Metzmeier who is a Homeless man living in the woods in Brandon. I stopped and talked a little while with him and he had many questions as to why I am spending my time making these videos. My answer is simply that if I am able to do this and give others a way to be heard than I am doing my part.

"I was lucky enough to work in Washington, D.C. for all eight years of the Clinton Administration. I've heard a lot of different names for folks who served in the Administration: "Clintonites" and "Clintonians" are the top two. I am not really a fan of either."......Benjamin Kirby

Who's Steve Stanton?


I wouldn't have been suprised by Largo's actions if this had happened 50 years ago. Obviously, the city has some catching up to do. The Minaret 4 years ago.
