Recently there was a fire in an abandoned warehouse here in New Orleans. * persons, commonly referred to as gutter punks perished in the fire. From interviews with others, several who new the victims, it was found that they mostly had homes they returned to from time to time, but mostly just rode freight trains from town to town. They would stay a while, crashing in abandoned buildings and panhandle. The money would be pooled and the group would decide weather to spend it on cheap wine or whiskey. One explained they smelled like they did on purpose because it would keep others away. One young woman said she had a child that he mother took care of. She would go home for a while to be with her until the urge to roam got too strong and she would hop a freight train out. another young man had 2 prosthetic leg's from falling under a train. I'm fairly sure he didn't hop trains any more though.
Is this similar to the way UK street punks live?
