Morton Street beggar not dead, in rehab
By adamg on Sun, 03/06/2011 - 9:43pm
The rumor spread like wildfire tonight: Robbie Felder, who has spent much of the past decade shuffling up and down Morton Street asking for handouts, was dead.
Not true, counter people who say they know his family: Nobody's seen the white-bearded guy recently on Morton Street by Blue Hill Avenue because he's in rehab.
The story unfolded on his Facebook fan page (yes, of course, he has a Facebook fan page):
PEOPLE ARE SOO IGG FAMILY HAS STATED THT MR.BOBBY IS ALIVE AND DOING WELL HIS SO CALLED FANS ARE STILL DECLEARING HIM DEAD AND FOR THOSE WHO CALL HIM A BUM AKA BUMB MR. FELDER ATTEND MORNING STAR BAP CHURCH EVERY SUNDAY I CAN SPEAK FOR THAT HOW MANY BUMBS DO YOU NO WHO ATTEND CHURCH SERVICES PEOPLE GET A LIFE

Not a problem
People (particularly those writing on this Facebook fan page) are so ignorant. The family has stated that Mr. Robert Felder is alive and doing well. His so-called "fans" are still declaring him dead. For those who call him a bum (aka "bumb"), Mr. Felder attends Morning Star Baptist Church every Sunday. I can attest to that personally. How many "bumbs" do you know who attend church services? People, get a life.
(PS - Adam, the Globe did an article on him before and called him "Robbie Felder", not Fiedler. You might want to check and/or correct that in your write-up.)
Thanks
Yep, Felder is correct, fixed.
Excellent, thanks.
Excellent, thanks.
Anyone can go to church...if
Anyone can go to church...if you are panhandling on the street to support your drug habit I think that qualifies you as being a bum, bumb. No disrespect to him or his fam..but it is what it is.
God Allows U-Turns
Please take note of this: It matters not where you came from. It only matters where you are going. If by chance you make a mistake along your journey always remember GOD allows U-Turns.
Good luck
I wish him luck getting clean. I used to give him a buck when he came by the car, but I stopped after he admitted in the Globe interview a while back that he was still doing crack.
Robbie Felder
I am amazed at how mean spirited and ignorant some folks can be. For those who insist on calling Mr Felder a bum try walking in his shoes for a day and experience the internal pain he must feel each moment of his life.Unfortunately Mr Felder is being judged by what people see forgetting he is a human being with obvious problems. A kind word (which doesn't cost anything)goes a long way especially from a stranger. How about prayer and or encouragement to help build him up instead of the negativity which ultimately tears him down. Come on people we are better than this.
begging is not a job! going
begging is not a job! going to church is not a job ! i guess anyone who gives this man money has the right to call it as they see it! im not impressed with the whole rehab thing cause he is back out there begging !! he is an educated man and his so called friends and family need to support him as we do(strangers driving by) he also has a cell phone that he plugs up in local business so next time i should ask to use it since i help pay for it !!! might claim him at tax time ! oh yeah thats what the family does!
