Jock mocks homeless man

-

FORMER Rangers enforcer Sean Avery is now fighting with a homeless advocate who’s offended by Avery’s social-media posts in which the exhockey player and former Vogue intern bizarrely wakes up sleeping homeless people to ask them the time. Homeless Lives Matter—a Twitter handle run by a homeless Florida man, James Worle y—was contacted by an incensed A very after Worley had retweeted our story chroniclin­g Avery’s odd hobby of “harassing” the homeless. “Get a life and actually think before you jump on the bandwagon to grab some followers,” Avery wrote on Worley’s Homeless Lives Matter account .“Asking someone [who’s] sleeping on the street for the time is the furthest thing from harassment. So if a homeless person asks me for $ is that harassment?” Worley responded, “Do you believe they enjoy being woken up?” Ever charming Avery shot back, “So now it’s about enjoyment. Your bulls - - t is funny.” Avery also posted a clip of himself on Tuesday giving a $20 bill to a man on the street. Worley, who’s currently living in a friend’s shed, told us, “I personally deal with anxiety and depression . . . However I choose to use my time attempting to help others and raise awareness as a result of my own experience­s.” Worley’s made headlines for reuniting homeless people with their estranged relatives. A report last year said that Worley “is an advocate for the homeless .. . and frequently posts pictures and videos of the homeless citizens going about their daily lives on his Facebook page.”
