Homeless Man Refuses to Vacate Venice Beach Encampment

[@euniceloy7120]

I said this before, once the other homeless realize that all they have to do is refuse to leave, they will follow suit. I've watched them go from being silent and compliant, too angry and outspoken. And now one has made a stand and refuses to leave and it's just a matter of time before there will be a ripple effect and the others will follow.

[@jaipoh3965]

I agree. We need to nip it in the bud NOW. We need to stop allowing these folks to take advantage of the tax payer.

[@high-intelligence111]

A lot of them are tweaker dumpster divers. Some steal bikes and sell parts and hold onto the parts they don't sell, etc. Over seen and witnessed some of these people's activities and have heard their conversations. They get a meal from the sandwich and meal providers, then they don't do anything else, like file paperwork for housing, etc, to get a place and job. They like living without working, doing their drinking and drugs, and not taking any responsibility for the trash they create or their actions. To them, everything is free! When they get time in LACounty Jail, it's maybe a month, then they're released, and do it all over again. They get their EBT card, a blue tarp, get an umbrella, get drugs or alcohol, or both, with their EBT cash allowance, and the viscous cycle starts all over again, and again! Nothing gets done. A lot of them are coming in from downtown L.A.'s skid row also via the train that ends at Santa Monica Pier on Colorado. This is pathetic and really needs to be addressed because it's getting worse and worse each month. The homeless advocates are not really helping them with too much except screaming about leaving their possessions alone, etc

Who would want to take their children or parents down to the beach for a stroll or bike ride or fun on the sand??? So sad what has happened to this beach since we have WEAK men and women in government that are unwilling to do what is necessary to stop this insanity on public display. At the very least, pass an ordinance/law that states nothing but towel, one bag/picnic basket and one beach chair on the beach. Send out night patrol each and every night. Send out day patrol, each and every day. As a taxpayer, I would be so upset that I was paying for all the costs related to enforcement and clean up. They belong in addiction homes or mental institutions for long term care. None of these homeless ever appear to be anything but drug/alcohol addicts or fried out brains from their addictions. God help these poor souls that are unable to care for themselves. The city must enforce tough love and stop letting them live like rats on the streets/beaches of your cities.

[@americanmeteoritefan9670]
