Tensions Escalate During Muscle Beach Homeless Encampment Cleanup

[@trogdooor]

That guy with the clipboard always leading the sanitation department is a gem, love him.

[@oliveacres7743]

Cracks me seeing all those in yellow vest hovering around a pile of trash, taking pictures and making notes like it’s an archaeological find of some kind. What a crazy place.

[@ljbryan4070]

The fact that lunatics are roaming the streets, illegal drugs are used freely and in the open and our veterans are unhoused are just a few of the many societal ills plaguing this place and our country.

[@Worldofourown2024]

America is a corporate work site and a corporation. It's so boring and unsettling and just not a fun place. I use to think a place like LA was to be the ultimate dream, but one has to be asleep to believe an American dream for it's a nightmare. There's not a single good employer nor any culture and community that makes good smart sense.

[@dronegirl7539]

I think that poor dog is afraid of that dude. It clearly doesn't want to be near him.

[@its-all-good]

I live in San Francisco. I noticed the addicts dogs here get no or maybe a little loving attention from their owners or the owners "friends". The moment someone reaches out to pet them with a soft voice they become so happy and alive. They seem to wander away but are very faithful to their owner and will no doubt return no matter what.

[@angelahazel9249]

Meth madness at it’s finest!

[@bordereau1]

Look at the hardware on that pups neck. That dog deserves a better home.​@@its-all-good

[@its-all-good]

@ Maybe you are right. My comments didn’t say otherwise. This “poor dog” is loyal. Being loyal was the topic.

[@socalcgvet]

He calmed down fast when the cops arrived....😂

[@locomanjim1554]

Another dog that needs rescued. If you cant care for yourself please leave the animals out!

[@samjones3106]

He looked pretty happy to me. Warm weather and probably well fed by people. The dogs that need rescuing are the ones chained up in someones backyard all day. Once I even saw someone keep their dog in a small cage in the garage 24/7.

[@matthewmadsen8123]

That guy does not need that dog

[@marygreen8775]

no dog,he can't take care of himself,,90 percent of homeless get a ssi check..if they pay rent,,,they can't get HIGH all month..FACT..

[@BH19780]

I disagree. Venice has help and food for the animals of the homeless. Food. Vaccines. And a clinic. Not all homeless are drug addicts. Or abuse there animals. That dog is more cared for than many humans.

[@GaGooch71]

These people need to realize that society is fed up with these addicts. Lifes not one big drug party,know what i mean.

[@Next96300]

Only approximately half are addicted to anything. Mental illness and laziness are huge factors.

[@PauloHernandezXD]

True

[@Worldofourown2024]

One can party and get high, but one has to pay for a room or property to do that. It's not right to see a meth pipe in public, told to F off, and then feel unsafe with thieves eyeing you. I guess celebrities and executives treat life as one big cocaine and meth party, but they have money and properties to privately live their lives.

[@DerekWill-p1b]

That poor dog is looking for someone to save him

[@rosaveliz7877]

😭😭😭😭🐾🐕🦮🙏

[@Worldofourown2024]

High anxiety and mental health disorder not only effects humans, but all animals except the birds have wings and free spirited hearts.

[@BH19780]

I disagree. Venice has help and food for the animals of the homeless. Food. Vaccines. And a clinic. Not all homeless are drug addicts. Or abuse there animals. 💕

[@DerekWill-p1b]

@BH19780 There are law-abiding citizens with jobs struggling to feed themselves and their kids, and would probably love to have a dog, but don't because they are responsible and know they can't afford to take care of one. But they have to pay a ridiculous amount of taxes in California so a homeless person can have a dog. Your argument is ridiculous.

[@DerekWill-p1b]

Camping on public property is illegal

[@billkallas1762]

It is in California, since early this year, but mayors can ignore it.

[@DerekWill-p1b]

@billkallas1762 I guess a law that can be ignored or that isn't enforced really isn't much of a law.

[@Hanover-ek4jy]

I actually remember when Santa Monica was a jewel!

[@augmentos]

This is Venice. SM worse

[@Hanover-ek4jy]

@ I remember when the third street promenade was a beautiful place to visit, now I understand many of the businesses are vacant?

[@augmentos]

@ it’s coming back generally. Better than it was anyway

[@normanott644]

Imagine what the beach would look like if the City didn’t do any cleanup.

[@adelaidebarone3807]

Why do the homeless always have so much stuff???

[@josephmontrose6368]

Glad to see that clean-up is happening. Without it the vagrants would turn it into a dump.

[@x_Dude1]

@ 11:05 - What a nice dog.

[@gregpohl412]

Poor dog!!! 😞🐕

[@southernsierra9404]

Poor puppy it’s so sad we need resources for these people with animals Gavin NewScum has done Nothing for the homeless and we have paid billions in tax payer money! We need to demand help now!

[@Artificial-Influencers]

Cam police please give the suspects a microphone so we can hear them better

[@Mike_Davidson]

3:30 Fabian almost got his face stolen from a bum. 😱😱😂😂😂🤦‍♂️

[@nancysantamarialatica1141]

Before wasn’t so many homeless addicts, bro

[@odubble]

Before what? There have always been homeless and addicts down there, BROO..

[@TrpleAgnt2011]

Well when housing was easy most had a place to crash, plus it seems a lot more drugs and addicts now.

[@daisywrabbit]

excellent acoustics in that amphitheater

[@desultorilypanacea]

Fabian I don't like that one homeless guy getting all angry at you. He's acting like it's personally your fault that he's homeless.

[@davidstough302]

Dog’s looking for a new home

[@saraanderson6615]

No leash law there? That poor dog.

[@Next96300]

22:15 "I might have a granola bar." Sad. Actually, pathetic. I'm using this clip in my next presentation at the upcoming LA Continuum of Care board meeting (if Fabian doesn't object).

[@davidstough302]

Ya got too much stuff!!!!

[@nancysantamarialatica1141]

8:04 ….Can you hear me? THANK YOU CREW FOR THE CLEANING UP !!!! Hello doggie. Hope that creatures ok . Bc shit !

[@Mike_Davidson]

1:25 He got Charlie Manson eyes.🤣🤣🤣🤣👀🤦‍♂️

[@GohAhweh]

Yackety yack... pack it out bub.. no living on the beach.

[@venus6905]

It makes no sense they come right back i wouldn't bring my family there for fear of Needles in that Sand and using those bathrooms no way stop at McDonald's 🙏

[@monomarino5349]

Who runs Barter Town?

[@augmentos]

Daisy

[@rc6614]

Why don’t they put all these people through the system build more jails if you have to put them on probation whatever if they break probation put them in jail. They’re spending billions of dollars on them living on the streets why not spend that money putting them in prison. If they can’t ticket them for being homeless, then they can ticket them for doing other stuff, and when they don’t pay the fines, put them in jail.

[@bordereau1]

The homeless guy that said "Thanks for keeping it neat for us" wow what entitlement

[@2jerrysapp560]

I used to like visiting Santa Monica/Venice beach, but not anymore. Southern California coast has turned into a cht hole

[@monicadonnelly4991]

Same old sob story 🎻🎻

[@JohnDow982]

I like to see the city trying to do something to help. I pray 🙏for all. It’s a tough situation.

[@aruizsellshomes]

They need workers who show compassion and want to actually help homeless people get resources.

[@dylan520rr]

You meet a lot of characters! Merry Christmas!

[@kvetadaigneault7037]

time for the government to step up give these people a home clean up the mess, also make them work clearly they are capable stop mollycoddling these people they are not entitled the rest of us have to work, and those who think this is cruel take them home to yours

[@TheJustJoe]

No sir, we in fact do not know what you mean.

[@unedited2716]

A BIG THANKS TO ALL JOBS ARE TI KEEP IT SAFE AND CLEAN IN BEING KIND UNDERSTANDING LISTENING TO THAT ARE LESS OFF 🙏💯♥GREAT FILMING I SEE POSITIVE CHANGES COMING TOGETHER

[@bordereau1]

Public obscenity......enough! And when the cops showed up? Wow did he calm down. Then he tries to pontificate......be quiet,get a job, get a real home.....they always threaten the cops.....arrest them!!

[@imjustsayin6562]

You cannot allow these people to have one whole week to haul all that garbage out there, You need to do this every single day or your just going to keep running into The insane coming out there and making themselves a/at home. These transient palaces aren't popping up overnight. They've had a week for them to grow and grow and grow. This needs to be nipped in the bud everyday! Somebody needs to be watching , when they start hauling all that "garbage" out there, this didn't pop up overnight.

[@w.robertjohnson558]

🙂 Self-justification can be an excellent defense -- if its 'rational'.

[@Worldofourown2024]

This is America. The conflicts and social disorder may appear to be about work and political oriented arguments, but are pure born out of failed economics for the divisions and wealth gaps are becoming too dramatic. There's no affordable rooms nor housing in this entire country. It's so weird. I was going to take a trip this week seeing flights are almost free, but rooms are outrageously expensive everywhere. Too cold to car camp and then I no longer feel safe to even go to a rural camping area or stay out fishing all night. I know I need a one way flight and new country, but there isn't another country except one could just be a tourist all the time if no need to work nor need income. We need an actual efficiently working free market economic system instead of the globalized corporate monopoly. Tech companies are awesome and we need them, but we need an actual free market small business economy and affordable housing too. No solution will ever be offered despite vast resources in the world's richest country and world empire for it's based on war, debt, slavery, and financial speculation.

[@lisacole6082]

Hey CVS I found one of your baskets :-)

[@michaelnippert945]

They have some nice body building shows there.

[@deborahschroeder1378]

A granola bar... 🙄

[@rossmiles7169]

And a lobster 🦞

[@carlosmedina42]

Nomás les gusta robar staff

[@malisamendoza7987]

For them to offer services and food There is nothing wrong with the person to ask questions about the services I am appalled for the filipino man who works with the trash clean up who takes pictures To mumble under his breath beggars can’t be choosy! What a horrible thing to say! When homelessness can happen to anyone! He needs to be working in a different job and not judge others because he is not providing a service for people in need! His job really isn’t needed!

[@katiekidman007]
