Homeless Man Refuses to Vacate Venice Beach Encampment
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 жов 2024
- During a routine operation conducted by Los Angeles County Park Rangers to address homeless encampments at Venice Beach, an individual encountered on Friday, July 14, 2023, proved unresponsive to attempts at engagement and assistance. Despite continuous efforts by Los Angeles County Park Rangers, and homeless outreach providers over the past few weeks, the man remained uncooperative and declined all forms of assistance.
The individual had established an encampment beneath the Venice Pegoda for an extended period, amassing a collection of four shopping carts. He has then moved to this new location near the Venice Beach Restrooms. Through negotiations, Park Rangers were able to convince him to relinquish some trashs, which was promptly removed by the cleaning crew. However, when it came to vacating the area, the man adamantly refused to comply, displaying a firm resolve to remain at his current new location.
Exercising restraint, Park Rangers opted against employing force in dealing with the situation. Given that the individual's actions constituted an infraction rather than a more severe offense, the use of force was deemed unnecessary at this time.
Consequently, the Park Rangers and cleaning crew proceeded with their cleanup operations at other homeless encampments in the vicinity, while the individual continued to maintain his presence at the beach. No citations were issued to him during this encounter.
This incident sheds light on the ongoing challenges faced by authorities as they navigate the delicate balance between enforcement and compassion in dealing with uncooperative homeless individuals. It serves as a reminder of the complexities involved in resolving the issue of homelessness at Venice Beach and in broader contexts. The City of Los Angeles and its partner organizations remain committed to addressing the underlying causes of homelessness and implementing long-term solutions.
He moved from his last location. He knows he has the upper hand. He now feels entitled to stay there. If they don't get him out, it's the end of keep the beach tent free.
Right!
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.
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.
Nipping it in the bud should have happened yrs ago. They let this shit go on & on & on.
Just start picking our crap I'll put the wrong order away
Start using billie clubs on them
Nah
Basis of all societal ills:
No consequence for bad behaviour
Its as simple as that.
In all that junk does he not have one belt? Just asking.
He wears his pants that way intentionally. He thinks he sexy.
Was about to say the same …it’s disgusting 🤢
Big tough guy ..not
He has a surfboard fin i saw him throw it into his pile of garbage .
I like the janitor lady that tells them off while she cleans their mess and shames them for being slobs. She’s like a strict grandmother they should promote her to mayor. This “over-polite” strategy is not working.
Get rid of garcone
The city should not have to put up with the likes of him.
They shouldn't but unfortunately it seems they just don't do anything
That's why they do what they want because nobody does anything about it if he's that nasty go away to a place where noone can see all that nasty stuff 🤢
what a waste of tax payers money, seeing all those city workers just casually puttzing around
Votes have consequences. The people there deserve what they created.

Why is he not in jail for littering ?
Only apply to taxpayers
What has happened to obeying the law. Why is this man not arrested? What if all homeless refused to leave. The beach would be full of them and a total mess.
He would just get out that day or the next day. Plus, he really wasn’t too combative or going after the park rangers for them to feel threatened.
The homeless spoiling your view, you entitled, lucky home owner? Anyone can become homeless, it is a worldwide problem and one of Maslows foundational needs.Everyone needs a home. Try living rough for a week. It's no fun.
@@kalayne6713not on a public beach. Not in a public area. Yes….I understand the word “public” but no one may live there. There are services to help
@@kalayne6713 it's not a have against the have nots. It's the choices some, please understand..."some" of these people, well, most of these homeless choose to live. Like pigs and slobs. Packratting their way through life. Getting fucked up on drugs with used hyperdermic needles even in the beach sand, that barefooted children can step on!!!! So it's not that it's tomorrow isn't promised to anyone, it's the ongoing situation that these people keep repeating daily.
Rangers are more patent than i would be .Move your shit now !!!
They get paid regardless
My drill instructors would fix this & quick,mark my word!
It's amazing they can make that much mess, overnight, being homeless. Crazy.
It’s not just overnight, they all didn’t just set up camp each in one night. This is several days, weeks and months that became too much mess and garbage. The one guy has definitely been in that one space for awhile and he refused to leave.
@@JMarieCAlove that old man looks like he walks away waits for them to clean up, and moves right back in, can't believe how much stuff he can fit in a b a bathroom, video shows every day they clean homeless people out. On going. Crazy.
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
@@high-intelligence111 and they get a disability check, ssi, ebt , crazy when veterans get turn down for disability, my kin fought 4 wars , honorable discharge, and can't work, got turned for disability checks, go figure that, a drug zombie can walk in and get the next day.
@@Coffee240 yeah. That really sucks man. My highest of respect to your Kin! 🇺🇸✌️
Totally ridiculous!!!
This is ridiculous. All parties involved are ridiculous.
Wait until the word gets out that your aloud to camp on the beach again with out having to leave.I give it another month and it will be last year all over again.
Arrest him!!!! Arrest him for littering! This are dangerous people who do not even have connection with their families because of their bad choices.
Cops have no teeth thanks to lawyers+cellphone video+politics
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.
Sounds like a good Nazi beach where you could be ticketed or arrested for having one too many bags! When you people advocate the taking away of the others guys rights out of hate and spite, you should realize you willingly surrendered yours in exchange for the ability to hate.
Be better.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT DO HOMELESS PEOPLE DO WITH ALL OF THAT STUFF THAT THEY HAVE.
It's just a way to mark their territory. It's a control issue. Similar to what hoarders do.
Good question.
God help you if you are there and need to use the bathroom
Sheriff is useless. What a real shame.
He's not a sheriff. He's a Park Ranger, and they don't have authority to arrest.
There’s no hustle in these workers.
Only time I see anyone hustle anymore is when their supply runs out.
He’ just moving stuff around, not really doing anything Nd his pants are falling off…..sad. This man should be at work, earning a living.
There not falling off ,it’s the way he chooses to wear them . (Disgusting in my opinion) It’s seen all over ,not quite sure the reason behind it but it initially was a gang thing .
It was rife for a time in Australia,there’s the odd one or two still seen but think it’s now a thing of the past . One can only hope eh 👍🏻
Lord knows what is under the sand close to him !!!
Hyperdermic needles or glass pipes hidden so the cops won't find them, that a barefooted child or adult visitors to the beach can step on and cut themselves, catch hepatitis C from, or AIDS, or if they're lucky, just an infection or a healable fast cut.
But he has a mask!? Love the pants too. WTF How much does this cost tax payers in LA COUNTY?
Venice beach will be a dump and the tourists will stay away if the city doesn’t have the backbone to restore order to this once beautiful part of LA.
Arrest him
The police just left him after he refused to move?
I wouldn’t even want to go there because of them people I wouldn’t argue with him. I would arrest them, then take the trash to get rid of it and charge them cleanup fee if ain’t got the money community service picking up trash
There were no police this occasion. Arresting that dude would have ended in several people being hospitalized. Anyway, they come right back ten minutes after the garbage dumper leaves
Same guy that was camping on the end of the pier that refused to leave last time !! Guess they arent going to do their job again !!!
That spot is one of the few ADA places at the beach.
Oh he's done it once he knows now he's got rhe upper hand. He is the first to take a stand and so let's watch the dominos fall. More and more will take over and say no more moving us. Just watch
The "homeless" run the show...if the Park Ranger raises his voice he will risk disciplinary action. No one can safely go to the beach or want to under present conditions. It's all about the wagon riders...we all have to pay, push the wagon and cater to the protected class
Things need to change..Starting with the Governor, Mayor etc..Now where they will go, hopefully look for a job like the rest of us.
bring those 2 tall policemen who look after the illegal fruit venders over, they will have it sorted in a week.....😆
Unfortunately, I believe, at least 75% of homeless are mentally ill and need treatment in order to get their lives back together.
@@richmilito5417 Then the powers that be need to get to work...The more they stay out there, that does not help anything..Anyone will be mentally ill if they lose everything....Sending clean up crew does nothing to help their homelessness..
The PD really needs to start patrolling the beaches at NIGHT, 10pm- dawn, to interdict the dumpster diving tweakers from hauling all that junk in.
Without doing that, the City/ County is creating a potentially hazardous environment, for sanitation/cleaners & park rangers to have to deal w/these psychotics that just have to let loose with their psychotic reactions, to deter the city/county workers, caused by using IV hard street drugs & the withdrawals of the same.
And where’s LAHSA & their wanna be cop fan boy?
Shouldn’t he be here, hanging out & grinning uselessly?
No cops around, so LAHSA won’t risk it?
The cleaning crew has a great job, they just stand around 50 percent of the day😅.
It must be very hot in those nylon suits, with gloves, boots on, dealing with filth and degradation. I couldn't do it.
He is just picking up his crap and looking at it
You can tell these people are coming from out of state.
Everybody from California knows you can't sleep at that beach or camp it's been the law since the 1960s. Even on remote beaches.
"The law"? Do you actually think these losers care about laws?
Liberal policies draw them in.
There have to be consequences for anti-social behavior, or you will get more of that anti-social behavior. It's not "compassion" to let something like this slide. It hurts the homeless individual in the long run.
Man, what was that guy expecting when he moved his valuables onto the beach?
He had a black car bumper in that pile of mess !
Valuables! Lmao
The littering they do is terrible. They need to go to a home and not be on the beach. The beach is a public place not a place for homeless habitation.
Venice Beach is gotten such a bad reputation for homelessness that the foreigners and tourists rarely go there anymore. People read online reviews all talk about how it’s now full of homeless, encampments, drugs, and needles. Then tourism dies.
Esse cara aí é o rei do deboche, não respeita ninguém,invade e acampa onde quer e a polícia deixa por isso mesmo.
Parece que ai em Santa Monica ele é autoridade ,ele decide se quer sair ou não.
Nesse caso aí tem que internar ou prender ele e que ele fique sob responsabilidade do estado.
This dude needs to move to the slabs. You can live this sort of life unbothered.
Is that car hood? And what heck need surf/boogie boards for?
I don't walk that slow on my worst day !!
Knock knock. Beach clean up here. We would like to clean up all the crap you leave while living here so if you could move we would really appreciate it. Thank you so much. Since I know you will come back right after we leave will see you in a couple days and do this all again. Now you have a great day.
The California beaches are so seedy and filthy now. I’d never go there again- not until things change drastically.
And by California beaches you’re talking about Venice Beach and maybe Ocean Beach in San Diego. Let’s not be stupid here. There’s not a single homeless person on 98% of the beaches unless you’re talking about Ocean Beach or Venice Beach.
You are literally seeing one beach in these videos, Venice Beach. It is entirely atypical. The rest of California's beaches are absolutely lovely. Venice has been a challenging area almost since it was founded in the early 20th century. It is a unique case.
Yikes again and again triple again these homeless people camp and leave there trash on the beach it’s not a camp ground I am surprised local people still go to the beach and still see this endless problem California keeps getting worse I would be surprised when people visit the area then they see this mess.
That umbrella near the end really seems to have a lot of people baffled. Took a half dozen people to figure out how to fold it up to dispose of it and they never seemed to get it done.
The beach area is so much more inviting when it is nice and clean and NO BUMS are there to drag you down!! People go to the beach to relax and ENJOY the BEAUTY that GOD created and gave us, not to see trash and homeless people destroy what was a beautiful beachfront.
Right!
If you actually believe in god, then he or she created that "bum". Mental health care is needed, for you both.
You don’t need people in hazmat suits removing illegal campers, these are squatters, squatting on public property. Remove them with force and put them in jail.
Thankyou cleaning guy's you're the real hero
No for these governments hero
The picnic tables and benches look disgusting. 🤮
It just seems pointless if they know they are going to come back
Your governor ruined the beautiful state. Lawless state. All criminals are flocking to Califorrnia.😅 23:12
That is just one of the many problems with the homeless look at all that garbage motorcycle tires bicycle tires what you going to use that s*** for that's the problem😂😂😂😂😂
They need to start making it if these people don't comply they need to fine them and make them work cleaning all the beaches in L.A. to pay off their fine they need to crack down even harder 😡
Dude needs to pack lite. What's up with all the garbage? That will get attention for sure.
PYPU....Pull Your Pants Up!
Arrest him and through away all his crap.
Homeless is a sad reality... BUT WHY DO THE HOMELESS HAVE TO BE SO DISRESPECTFUL AND NOT CLEAN UP AFTER THEMSELVES
Being homeless is not a lifestyle choice. We are not criminals. We are not all addicts. Circumstances like few homes, high rents, unscrupulous agents, greedy airbnb owners all contribute. Before you judge, ask, have some compassion and give great thanks for the roof over your head tonight.
My godlike a city ordnance, make it illegal to camp on beach. They must keep moving. Arrest them for refusing. Remove by arrest. Your city is in trouble.
I live in Southern California and our town built lots of apartments for the homeless but they refuse them because they have to be in before a certain time and follow simple common sense rules 😮
Thank the Lord the guy with Jeans took over that umbrella task, I thought they were about to have a Pow Wow to see what to do next. This gang doesn't seem to have any motivation at alll.....🤩.
Do those people who pick up trash, do they live in Venice? How can the city workers etc afford to live there
The mess one guy can create, and the expense: two workers sweeping, two officers, two truck drivers. How many hours to clean the crap up? What is total expense to tax payer to get this guy gone?
Looks like the city has alot of watchers and few actual workers!
The one guy drags the umbrella full of trash while the other 4 walk behind and watch!
This is what you get, when you close all the Mental Health Hospitals. I blame the Liberals.
The laws should have been enforced without fear or favor years ago, give an inch and they will always take a mile
Why do all these homeless people need all this junk they collect. all those bike parts and office chairs.
The never-ending Story.
I can't believe they let that rude crazy guy win he's gonna act that way every time now the stain on his butt made me ill
A beginning ripple before eventually escalate to tsunami
Bring the loader in and start clearing his crap out and see if he moves a little faster .
Maybe the homeless man identifies as Venice Beach Sand⛷️
Go to Delaware to Brandon's house, he welcomes you all.
Love the sound of seagulls in the morning…..
This is a perfect situation for landlords to dump off all crap left from previous tenants and the city ounce again and again call it homeless encampment cleanup, what a joke!
So who is paying those workers to go there and do this
Venice boardwalk is the crown jewel of LA
How often do they have to remove these people it seems like once a week.
If they ever leave they will have to sift the sand for needles.😮
first--give him a belt
He can run around just in his boxers
Where are the cops
I'm at the point where i despise the homeless
Take them out to slab city and drop them off, its probably 120 out there today.
A flame thrower will sanitize the area .
8:04 - Yeah, that's a saver...
Teargas followed by flamethrower
It’d be great to know what the hey is going on!!
Why don’t you give out littering tickets? Take their name and tell them not to come back.
yes, that will work
Excellent idea. Wonder why nobody ever thought of that before. Problem solved. LOL.
This is horrendous.. I’m in South Florida.. yes there are homeless, but they’re not camping out on beach! It’s your government officials that are allowing this to happen..
Homeless in California got social services, EBT, Cash. food, clothing from shelters they don't have to worry about 💩.
Can't we designate a portion of the beach for camping and stage a clean up in those areas regularly?
Why is there nowhere that people can be?
The beach is virtually empty yet we stage this cruelty show for all the world to see.
Yes, I understand that y'all hate the poor, hate the unhoused, hate the mentally ill and the unemployed, we get it...five decades of attempts to make these beaches private using violence and harassment, criminalizing camping is just one tool.
You people would jail and harass Jesus himself.
We must find a better way.
so he wins
why did those four clean up guys follow the guy dragging the umbrella?wasn't there still stuff they could have cleaned up around that area???I don't get it.And what are those park rangers doing????nothing
Where are all the LASHA workers claiming to help the homeless? Oh, my mistake. I forgot they are all eating at McDonald's and throwing away food meant for the homeless.
Cleanup people move so slow in CA. On the East Coast, we just grab the garbage and throw it in the dumpster. We don't take detailed pictures of it all and we don't dissect bags of garbage. If the garbage is in a bag already, great, now throw it in the dumpster.
This is ridiculous. They don’t even clean up after themselves. It is uncalled for that that is that filthy around them. I understand Not all homeless people are worthless. Some people are just priced out of living in a stable environment.
That being said, we have really got to do some thing about housing opportunities.
Here, drug addicts are arrested and held without bail for two weeks before being sent to a free Government run drug rehabilitation center for two years followed by two years of probation. Volunteers have a shorter stay. It's absolutely free.
This is good to see for the most part. I grew up there in the 60s. The last few years it was a shit hole.😮
WELL ITS OBVIOUS WHY. HE STAYS THERE...THE HEAD.....
UNLIKE. THE SIDEWALKS OF. L. A.
HE GET CLEANED UP....AND SAND IS SOFTER. THAN. CEMENT....GOT THE COOL BREAZE...IF IT RAINS GO IMSIDE THE HEAD....
A massive airlift to deport 'em & establish/support a socialist colony for the homeless in a tropical island only 90mi away... in Havana 😉
Wel POLICE TELL HIM YOU HAVE TEN MINUTES GET YOUR STUFF AND GO DONT COME BACK HERE EVER AGAIN TRESSPASS HIM OUT OF THE PARK
This guy looks healthy enough to work. Could be a set up. Nice cut short hair. He don't look skinny, and he made all that mess overnight ?.
