"Am a good person?" This is a question many wrestle with at one time or another. Kelvin Hayes Robins Jr., fortunately, does not have to worry about this. If he has even a shadow of doubt in his heart, he can visit a local Medicaid nursing home and see what he has done. All he has to do is peek through its windows and see a few old ladies who are not enjoying another year in their now-condemned homes, the ones he destroyed. No, they are spending a very cold and public Christmas with all the heat the taxpayers will provide in a cramped, dirty building, all bickers he was put on this Earth. Yes, Kelvin can then put such ambiguities to rest knowing that no, he's not a good person.
Kelvin's story first took off around New Year's 2019, when he made the news for not only scamming a woman with terminal cancer out of $19,000 but also leaving this elderly woman's home unlivable [ link

While some sociopaths would be cocks to call this a win and a little fun, Kelvin isn't your usual asshole. No, when he found out that she was going to the news after waiting months she didn't have for him to do what she paid for, he didn't just slink back to Baton Rouge $19,000 richer and lie low for a bit.

No, a brave man like Kelvin stands up to old ladies when they get uppity. To quote her family:
"The contractor has been calling quite a bit. He's been texting my mother, he's been begging her not to air the story, he's been calling her and crying. He's been quite upset, even to the point where he asks her doesn't she care about his newborn baby."
And what did Kelvin do for this newborn baby that he was tormenting this dying woman with? Well, let's skip ahead a few months and we can see that:
1. The baby was the product of one of Kelvin's affairs
2. Kelvin left the baby and another ***** behind to
3. Free up money so he could "treat hoes right"
In addition to abandoning his *****ren, threatening old ladies is also a pastime of Kelvin's. Kelvin first extracts an advance payment by soliciting an elderly woman, making promises, claiming he needs to "feed him and his crew" [ link

Once the first check clears, he will run off without completing the work if the woman is lucky or, if she is not, he and his crew will will putter around over the next few days, do a little work, and then demand another check or some cash for an unforeseen expense. If the woman refuses either then or when the third or fourth payment is demanded, he and his men grow increasingly nasty and - according to one review - even turn violent. My theory on this is that the threats and violence are not just a means to extort money from the elderly but also a successful technique to discourage them from drawing further attention to him and his crew beyond maybe leaving an online review. To put it bluntly, he knows where they live and he leaves these old ladies wondering if he'll act on this if they file a lawsuit, start pressuring the police, etc. His [ doxbin

While Kelvin has been a bit camera shy recently, Johnny posted a few pictures of the cool things stealing from the elderly can get you, including one of a horse next to a big truck labelled with what could be "Certified Tree Care" [ see: companies Kelvin Robins does business under in
