That looks like the writings of a schizophrenic having an episode.

A lot of homeless people in the city are schizophrenic or have some other kind of mental illness and the cops will just tell them to fuck off instead of trying to help them

I received a similar flyer I think in Brooklyn at the Mermaid Parade or Manhattan at the Pride Parade. I was deeply confused, I didn’t read the whole thing, too much words. The person never explained it, they just handed it out

COVID’S happy residual. Lunatics everywhere, 15 year olds with guns. Cops nowhere and the City circling the drain with overdevelopment and reimagining it as a place for a select few. Only places worse are Florida and Texas.

So this really intrigued me and some friends. We started digging, found some other similar posts and notes that people had gotten from seemingly the same lady. It goes back as far as about 13-15 years. We were able to find out her name and her Facebook page which has similar ramblings that have allowed us to piece together a bit of a story.

The basic gist is that she used to live in Ohio but moved to NYC with her mother and brothers seemingly to escape their abusive father. They attended a catholic school, but as it seems they were Jewish she was bullied quite a lot. On top of that some sort of conspiracy with the priests being pedophiles was discovered by her, which she makes seem like her brothers were victims of. She tried to fight this and expose it but was instead framed as crazy. Eventually her father found them and beat the mother to death, which she seems to think the brothers allowed to happen. The two brothers were noted as becoming g rich from Catholic charities and somehow from the mothers death (my guess is selling her stuff) but she was left behind. To me it seems like she was abandoned on account of being crazy

She was homeless for about 15 years after her mother died going in and out of shelters and other peoples homes, some of which were people she knew from High School. This is right around when the first writings were posted online by people she gave them to. Over the years she seems to have fallen deeper and deeper into her mental illness, expedited by conspiracy theories and other crazy political notions. She makes mention of the Italian Mafia hanging around on of the places she frequently stays at as well as their being an overarching catholic pseudo mob of police, Italians, etc. it seems she went to the cops herself many times to no avail

She is clearly a deeply disturbed individual, and while it was interesting to investigate her story and thoughts, it leaves one with a bitter feeling. This woman needs help, much more than is available in this country, and I’m certain she’s not the only one

I got something like this through my door once. Handposted. I reported it to the cops (UK) and they took it seriously because it was so obvious that a person having an episode of mental illness had posted it. The officer told me to lock my doors at night and I was scared. Then a few days later they called and said that a lot of neighbours had got one so it wasn't targeted. It's so sad. They must be so afraid.

She also seems to have been (still is?) struggling with homelessness and having a lot of difficulty producing records to receive government services and holding on to a working cell phone. Ten years ago her daughter was caring for her. She seems to believe in some conspiracy fantasy involving Joan Jett, a dead police officer named Cedric Dixon, and a woman named Sharon Smiley who keeps zapping her face with some sort of psychic electricity.

Tough to know which parts, if any, are real. I remember meeting a schizophrenic man who was completely convinced that he had killed his mother, who I spoke to on the phone later that day.

Schizophrenic for sure. From what I can understand, this person had a tragic life. She/he was bullied in school for being trans and then spiraled a whole series of unfortunate & tragic events causing her to be homeless which spiraled another whole series of unfortunate & tragic events.

There are services. Lots of them. One if the biggest problems is that we don't have any real involuntary hold laws, and most of these people truly believe that they have nothing wrong with them and as such won't voluntarily go seek out treatment

I deal with severe dementia and multitude of mental illnesses in my field. One of the nicer residents we look after had a normal conversation with me like it was nothing. he was talking about how his wife and him used to go to the theater until he saw Abraham Lincoln get assassinated the whole story...is a roller coaster to say the least. what caught me off guard is the absolute sincerest tone they have when talking to you.

There is buy I also think there’s a solid chance that some of it is. A lot of time mental illness plays off of the most Al experiences and can be heightened by them. I don’t find it far fetched that she went through some trauma that has contributed to her illness

I live on the upper east side and the same lady came up to my wife and I and handed us a very similar note. It was a photo copy of hand written notes with pictures on it. Same exact hand writing except it was much longer. Didn't really make much sense at all. She had a push cart with her that was filled with blue construction styrofoam and plastic bags. Felt really bad for her.

Her Instagram has her mother’s name on it. Googled it and the obituary says that she “passed away peacefully, after a long illness”.

You are very right about her needing help and it doesn’t sit well with me either that she’s nearly guaranteed to never receive that help.

Replying to andagainandagain- (#201,930)

Oh nice! I’m glad to hear the part about her being beaten to death wasn’t true. Although now that I think of it ig she never explicitly said the man killed her, only remaking that he had severely beaten her and then remarking on her passing shortly afterwards which lead me to the wrong deduction. That still makes me wanna infer if he ever did actually get to them after moving to NYC or not though

But yeah, it’s extremely depressing to know that we have so little options for people like this and that more likely than not she’ll be left with her own disturbed thoughts

I mean, there is definitely, proven beyond doubt, a real conspiracy in the catholic church to create a pipeline of vulnerable boys to abuse, then systematically cover it up, and the entire administration is complicit. Why would this very real conspiracy not also involve some Mafioso, private detectives, and some connected, corrupt cops?

It says her husband preceded her in death, so I hope that wasn’t the case (looks like he passed in 82 and her in 2014)). It actually looks like she passed away in Ohio, so I’m curious why this person didn’t return to Ohio with her mother or other family members. An interesting and sad story nonetheless. I live in midtown, surprised I haven’t run into this woman.

Yep, I’ve seen it happen to my uncle. Got to the point where he threatened me. And that’s from a guy that used to spend a lot of time with me. It’s really heartbreaking to see that shit happen.

A line that really made me sad in her posts was about how she went to her high school reunion and how when people would talk to her eventually they’d “look over her shoulder and leave”

Replying to andagainandagain- (#203,901)

Huh that’s interesting. I wonder if the husband was actually abusive and the mother went back to Ohio for whatever reason or that was a delusion that she created in her mind and thus prevented her from returning with them

People have been saying she’s mostly around the upper east side so there’s a chance you might run into her eventually judging by how long this has been going on
