It\u2019s not clear if he was further injured or if doctors are telling him he needs to wear it until he gets surgery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bryan does not elaborate meaningfully but it appears he has surgery scheduled soon. Someone (hospital, VA, insurance, etc.) is paying for him to be put up in a hotel, which I am not opposed to, but Bryan is complaining that the hospital is \u201ctwo hours away\u201d and he says he cannot safely drive. I guess it is implied that the big bad \u201cThey\u201d did this on purpose but it just sounds like bureaucratic incompetence to me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If I were in that situation I would just ask them to pay for a cab or Uber if I couldn\u2019t afford it myself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Bryan Tew In Sling, Placed In Hotel Far Away\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/x8MvJenZdI0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bryan had some kind of altercation at the New York Presbyterian Hospital on or around 12\/11 where he claims he was physically assaulted by a nurse and had security called on him.

For the most part, this is being tolerated other than the occasional security officer telling her she\u2019s not allowed to sleep there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019m generally in favor of leaving homeless people alone if they\u2019re not actively causing problems. However Candy is definitely causing problems. Candy thinks nobody else is allowed to charge their phones and that anyone who charges their phone in her vicinity is a satanist and a gangstalker. The idea that airports especially during holiday travel season can get busy is lost on her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"12\/15\/2023 - They keep sending #gangstalkers to charge their phones near me &amp; film &amp; record me.\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BkNtXzz_kaQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"I almost broke down just now. 12\/15\/2023 #homeless #targetedindividual\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JpXsdEZOGC4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bonus clip: Candy lies about her panhandling activities.
