Why do I go here and get robbed and others don't? You guys will find out. I didn't do anything. I asked to stay with someone other that they should said one night. I didn't know all of this would have happen to me. Not fair at all. I didn't give anyone anything. That's a fact. Ask @NIH I was talking spiritual. They don't train for 528hz, they don't get anything. I walked this whole complex after getting $100 that's my power. Next time I won't walk past. I got robbed.
