Homelessness in 100 Degrees

I shot this series a few weeks ago while covering another story. It was a very hot day and I noticed a person lying in squalor trying to get comfortable in Los Angeles' sweltering heat. When people push for War under the guise of helping other people in far away lands, I just look out my window and wonder why don't we take care of our own? I also wonder what does Syria have that the US corporations want?
