Quickie post, maybe I’ll expand later.
Bryan got into a lunch room fight at the homeless shelter with another bum and decided to leave a few days ago. He was briefly in Los Angeles but has since moved on to San Diego.
The last I saw of him, he was camping outside of the “Old Town Church” and later that morning, he went to the DMV to attempt a renewal of his California driver license. Does this mean he wants to get another vehicle (car and/or scooter as before) and possibly live out of the car? We’ll see how this unfolds.

It looks like Bryan is leaving the country, presumably to somewhere in Latin America since his United Airlines ticket was only around $200.
Bryan left a note on his cabin asking the VA to hold it for him while he’s gone.
Yeah, no, that’s not how that works. These cabins are temporary shelters for destitute veterans, not some fashionable Santa Monica condo that you only live in a few weeks a year. They’re just going to re-assign the cabin to some other veteran who needs it in a day or two.
Yeah, seriously. I laughed at that.
If he can’t wait two weeks for a doctor’s appointment then he needs to go to the ER, which I believe he did a couple of nights ago. If the ER saw fit to discharge him without treatment then he can wait two weeks.
The fact that Bryan can afford to leave the country on a whim is evidence that he’s not qualified to stay in these shelters. He can clearly afford to rent an apartment, or at least apply for assistance to defray the cost.
He also probably could have already seen a cardiologist by now if he had just stayed in New York rather than starting the whole VA process over again in L.A.
Kevin says he’s lawyering up.
Kevin, save your money and spend it on psychiatric and medical treatment instead.
Kevin is moonlighting as a food vlogger now:
Candy Grandpre thinks it is a conspiracy that her motel has a lawn service that cuts their grass. She’s being “tortured” by the sound of a lawnmower.
Candy, it does not appear to be actively raining at the time you are filming. Regardless, I’ve seen lawn services mow lawns during light rains. Unless the ground is absolutely saturated with water, lawn mowing companies are going to continue working because time is money and time not cutting grass is money lost or money delayed if they have to come back several days later. It’s absolutely normal and it doesn’t have to be completely dry to cut.
Fifteen minutes and a call to a shadowy offshore agency are all it would take for him to know everything about me, the retired U.S. Army Master Sgt. on the other end of the phone line told me. I supposedly have a dossier tucked away there that’s filled with information about my beliefs, education, and even things I’ve written. Jess Johnson, the military veteran, was not making a threat so much as putting a shot in the air warning about the potential consequences of asking questions about directed energy weapons, organized stalking programs, mind-reading technology, and other ingredients of the strange and disturbing world of people who call themselves targeted individuals.
Bryan spent ~$500 on a new laptop and headphones at Costco (presumably the laptop is for the lawsuit he is typing up).
Now he made a post saying he is going to sue the Dept. of Veterans Affairs, he’s apparently unhappy with the lack of housing options. Not sure what legal theory he thinks he can use against the VA.
The price of the laptop is… reasonable, I guess? (I only ever buy used.) However, why is he spending $100 on Beats Flex? Most reviews I’ve seen of them have the list price at $50, not that I ever spend that much on headphones myself (but I don’t buy headphones with the Apple/Beats branding markup).
Oh, minor correction, while the Beats Flex headphones appear to cost $99.99 at Costco, looking at the receipt carefully it seems like the cost of the headphones was re-imbursed when he bought the computer. I guess it must be a package deal or something.
I sort of understand why Bryan left New York. I don’t understand why Bryan left Los Angeles after only two days. Bryan just showed up on the weekend and seemed to expect that he’d just be handed his choice of apartment in a prime location on the VA hospital campus right away.
It’s like, Bryan doesn’t seem to appreciate that he’s dealing with bureaucracies (and probably also waiting lists for subsidized apartments) and these things take some time to work and the best thing to do is have patience and stay in one place even if it unfortunately means that you have to deal with other mentally ill homeless people with serious personality issues (not that the guy that hit him with the tray shouldn’t be charged with assault, assuming Bryan’s version of the story is true).
Bryan returned to Los Angeles and is now back at on the VA campus in Santa Monica.
I’m not sure what that San Diego diversion was about. Was it just to renew his California Driver’s License? Can’t you do that at any DMV in California?
Cars, even junkers are hard to find these days and very $$$$
Bryan is looking at cars.
Oh f*** he’s back in San Diego. Go away! We have enough homeless and confused people here, go home to your people.
“How did I get a thousand dollar ticket?”
Didn’t he abandon the Ford Escape he bought a few years ago? It probably has something to do with that.
I thought he sold it back to the place he purchased it at (presumably at a massive loss).
Two other things come to mind:
– He assaulted another patient at the San Diego VA and was cited. He never went to his court date. That may have turned into a failure to appear, fines, and a bench warrant.
– He got a ticket one time while out on the road. I wouldn’t be surprised if he ignored that too and it turned into a failure to appear /w fines.
