These are either beyond stupid or as I believe more likely people with little means of support looking for shelter and 3 meals a day over winter..

That's his problem. He was "trying." Either "DO" or get out!
If you're up that early, with nothing to do, prep a CV and find a job!

If he “lives in a facility,” he is either homeless or mentally ill.
