    Detroit man whose 21-mile walk to work inspired $350,000 in donations moves to temporary home

    you call that brotha barefootsies?

    The Detroit man whose determination to walk more than 20 miles a day to get to and from work inspired an online campaign that raised more than $350,000 for him abruptly moved on Tuesday after telling police that he did not feel safe with his new found fortune.

    According to the Detroit Free Press ? whose profile of 56-year-old James Robertson led to the outpouring of donations and gifts, including a new car ? the factory worker was moved to a temporary home after consulting with local law enforcement officials.

              Was this story bullshit? I mean come on, nobody would walk 9 hours daily to some factory job. And the part of that he could not afford a car? How much does a beater cost? Bike at least lol.
              Fishy story.

                      I see people working to and from work every day. Usually they are fast food workers.

                          So this guy couldn't get a bicycle? A moped? Really?

                          If he couldn't afford one of the above how is he going to afford insurance? Oh yea I'll pay for that with uninsured motorist coverage.

                                      WTF are you talking about? Of course many people are walking to their jobs. Did I claim otherwise? Do those you see walk for 9 HOURS daily? More walking than working. More walking than sleeping.
                                      Get a brain for God's sake..

                                          I would respect the will, but that would mean serious mental issues. I mean outside working and walking he would have less than 8 hours left. Not enough for good sleep (you need much of it walking that much + working in a factory), let alone for ANYTHING else.
                                          Instead he could at least take a bicycle if not a $500 beater to drive...

                                                  You always have an excuse to hate on people don't ya? This guy has been well documented over the last week or two on a few big sites. He is the type of minority you should want to support because he is working and doing what ever it takes to continue working. Not using it as an excuse to sit on welfare.

                                                                  I am just curious if this story is true because it does not make ANY sense (I explained why above). Who would do that instead of getting at least a bicycle?

                                                                          Moron, actually this guy deserves my respect because he is the kind of guy everybody likes - instead of collecting welfare he goes great lengths to work.
                                                                          So instead of being a democrat welfare leecher he is republican worker to put it vividly in the light of your ridiculous accusation

                                                                          The only thing I question is the legitimacy of the story (or his mental health if true, again I explained why), looks like it is too hard for dummies like you to comprehend such as simple thing

This guy has been well documented over the last week or two on a few big sites. He is the type of minority you should want to support because he is working and doing what ever it takes to continue working. Not using it as an excuse to sit on welfare.
                                                                                  Fuck you. I don't hate on anyone. I'm simply skeptical of someone who WALKS 21 miles to work when riding a bicycle would cut the time by 90%. That fact hasn't entered your mind?

                                                                                      His commute home takes even longer. Leaving work after 10 p.m., Robertson walks the 7 miles back to the mall, where he catches the last bus of the day, just before 1 a.m., taking it as far as it goes: the State Fairgrounds on Woodward, just south of 8 Mile. From there, he walks roughly 5 miles back to home through what he describes as a dangerous section of town.

                                                                                      "I have to go through Highland Park, and you never know what you're going to run into," Robertson says. "It's pretty dangerous. Really, it is, from 8 Mile on down. They're not the type of people you want to run into. But I've never had any trouble." (According to Wilson, Robertson got mugged once but doesn't like to talk about it.)

                                                                                      By the time he gets home, at 4 a.m., it's almost time to do it again.

Forget the fact that you have no time to live... You do not even have time to sleep - it would be physical impossible to do it (tiring walk + factory work) for days (especially for older person) with only 3-4 hour sleep...

Leaving work after 10 p.m., Robertson walks the 7 miles back to the mall, where he catches the last bus of the day, just before 1 a.m., taking it as far as it goes: the State Fairgrounds on Woodward, just south of 8 Mile. From there, he walks roughly 5 miles back to home through what he describes as a dangerous section of town.

                                                                                              "I have to go through Highland Park, and you never know what you're going to run into," Robertson says. "It's pretty dangerous. Really, it is, from 8 Mile on down. They're not the type of people you want to run into. But I've never had any trouble." (According to Wilson, Robertson got mugged once but doesn't like to talk about it.)

                                                                                              By the time he gets home, at 4 a.m., it's almost time to do it again.
                                                                                              Ride Smart is the public bus system for Lansing. Taken from their site ... "All SMART Fixed Route buses are equipped with easy-to-use bike racks that can quickly secures up to two bicycles." He can take the bus AND ride his bike.

                                                                                              So again, why doesn't he get a $50.00 dollar bicycle and instead of walking for hours ride a bike and sleep like normal people do?

                                                                                              My common sense meter is off the chart on this one.

This guy has been well documented over the last week or two on a few big sites. He is the type of minority you should want to support because he is working and doing what ever it takes to continue working. Not using it as an excuse to sit on welfare.

This man works harder than 95 percent of this board and for busting his ass for 10 yrs ,perfect attendance, they reward him with $10.55 an hour. Go USA !

                                                                                                                      God bless a guy that works that hard and is that dependable.
                                                                                                                      How doses a man his age work a factory job then walk that far everyday.
                                                                                                                      How does anyone regardless of age survive on so little sleep.

                                                                                                                      How has his workplace remained accident free with workers being exhausted on the job?

                                                                                                                      And yes Tony it's nice someone got him a free car. It doesn't however answer any of the questions about his story and decision making.

If someone walks 7+ hrs a day to work and to home, its 100% by choice. Anyone that can work can afford a bicycle. Anyone with a bicycle can ride to a bus stop. If he chose to walk to work and home... good for him. a nice, interesting, healthy choice. But it is a choice.... not a sentence imposed upon him by society, which demands remedy. If he wants a car.. great, I'd give a guy money to buy a car just knowing he put in that much exercise because that in itself is quite impressive. But the news is out of control these days with their bullshit.

Well the motive is pretty fucking clear as day.

                                                                                                                                                          You think for a min if it was some old white good ole boy whom worked his farm with a mule for 10 years, then was given $350k to buy a tractor.. You think they wouldn't be praising the guy for being a "true" or "quality" American.

                                                                                                                                                          Meanwhile this guy walked to work for 10 years and never missed a day, lives in Detroit is a minority, so obviously he must be a mental case or trying to pull one over on them.

This guy has been well documented over the last week or two on a few big sites. He is the type of minority you should want to support because he is working and doing what ever it takes to continue working. Not using it as an excuse to sit on welfare.
