I saw a neighbor who’s the type that walks down the street with a broom and dustpan.
When a dude started setting up a tent near his block I knew he’d have an issue.
He waited for the guy who was setting up camp near his neighborhood to leave and once he did the neighbor took all his stuff.
It happened once more and no one has tried to set up camp since.
very smart. i was scared that i would get arrested for that while the homeless could continue doing all illegal activity scot free
I would think the police would try to arrest to neighbor for “stealing” the homeless guys stuff. Seems like the homeless have more rights then tax payers these days
@@aprilsilverman1571 Exactly.
Good move 👏
Throwing away homeless stuff is legal. Especially if on private property. The owner of the property technically owns the stuff when the homeless leaves it unattended.
Owner has rights to get homeless arrested for trespassing too
So PSA for good anyone who wants to clean up the community of the city won't:
If the homeless encampment is unattended, do you part in cleaning it up
One person who made a huge positive impact on her whole community. You go girl.

It's sad that there are no men with the courage to deal with this guy. Leave it to your woman.
she should be more worried about that plastic surgery
@@Mac-po1sr Wow, that’s what you got out of this video?
@@Mac-po1srat least she isn't fat. Nice to see a human who appears to be a healthy weight.
politicians always take credit for the work of others
Yea
They did nothing to help me . They lied . He never got housing all lies
Police and Politicians live off the backs of the taxpayers while taking credit for the work of others.
WD-40 and a lighter ? 😆
I was watching a Dateline where this unstable abuser who beat and threatened his wife went on a killing spree against people who were involved in his divorce. He killed two secretaries at a law office, a nationally recognized psychiatrist and a couple of others. At the very end a person said something that has stuck with me: “this is such a tragedy, these were people were honest, kind, hard working , law abiding, contributing citizens……”. I look at what is happening now and it truly seems that politicians, the activist left, and the judicial system all hate those qualities and truly sympathize with and actively encourage those who have the exact opposite qualities. What is happening?
"Defending this man and prioritizing a criminal" Huge respect for this woman; she's an asset to her community.
Thank u!!
Yes well you have the intellect and the ability to articulate under pressure. Keep talking.
A friend of mine had a drug dealer living, then squatting after he had been evicted, in the house across the alleyway from him. He and the neighbors called the Seattle police and city hall, and fought with city attorneys to do something for over two years. One of the neighbors was threatened with a gun. But they wouldn’t do anything. People would come by at all hours of day and night to buy drugs, the alley was littered with needles, there were two overdoses at the house. My friend and other neighbors would call 911 and the response was “We know they are dealing drugs. We know they are receiving stolen goods and cars. What do you want us to do?” Really, we want you to serve and protect the people who pay taxes and abide by the law.
I think most people don't know what happened in Tacoma on September 23rd 1989. The battle for Hilltop.
Good point 👍 id totally forgotten about that@@jeff7.629
"What do you want us to do?” .. O my. More evidence that those lazy incompetennnnt bureaucrats work for themselves, not for you
For Americans drug use is normalized in school. Police is no exception.
This is a perfect example of progressive policies from far left Democrat controlled cities.
The politicians will defend him until he moves into their neighborhood and then they would have the cops arrest him within minutes. RE ELECT NO ONE
This woman also can tell The Grove?
VOTE BOTH PARTIES OUT!!! I’d take my chances with Independents and 3rd party candidates before I vote for another Democrat or Republican EVER AGAIN!!!

Good for her!!! It’s disgusting what people have to put up with nowadays…… she also did the right thing by getting this on the news, that’s the only time that the city does something about it when they get exposed. Junkie needs rehab not housing.
Thank u!!! It was beyond disgusting . I have all the proof of their negligence
Big racket “homelessness”
That’s why I became a republican
Exactly. I'm in AZ now. I noticed that AZ has a lot of rehab centers and little homelessness. AZ is rehabilitating drug addicts. CA is giving them needles and places to shoot up. What could go wrong?
@@Bidenfriend I'm a liberal who strongly believes in liberal principles, but most Democrats lack moral clarity and ignorantly follow liberal ideology. This political situation is maddening. A lot of Republicans are selfish and abuse their inherited privilege, but I'd still rather have Republicans making the laws than Democrats.
If one courageous woman can do this, imagine millions of brave citizens?
I know the homeless need to stay somewhere but they don’t have to destroy everything in their wake. I’ve been homeless myself many years ago & this is unacceptable!
Yes I’ve met some lovely homeless people who were down on their luck. Not the ones who are disruptive and burglars
@@jeanblaaaI was homeless for 6 months after falling victim to a rental scam.
It's difficult living on the streets, but there's no reason to make a mess wherever you go.
I also didn't panhandle; instead I would dumpster-dive to find stuff to sell, sometimes I'd find discarded car batteries that I could take to auto part stores for store credit from the core charges, and that would get me things like candy bars and beef jerky.
Other times I would wait until "fast-food row" shut down for the night to walk the drive-thrus and pick up change that fell from peoples car windows. I could make $5-20/night doing that, especially near the nightclubs, and I'd get clearance food from WalMart after to make the most of it.
I also knew of buildings with unlocked doors, and one was a bathroom that had a network programmable thermostat on the wall (with no buttons). I'd sleep there during the winter because I could take a paper towel, wet it in the sink, then leave it outside to freeze. I'd then take it and rubber band it around the thermostat, tricking it into kicking the heat on so I wouldn't freeze.
Eventually I got back on my feet after a while, and I do have empathy, but it bothers me still seeing others use their setback as a justification for breaking the law. You can get by just fine without stealing or being a nuisance.
The homeless in LA are awful. Just today I tried to use a bathroom at a store, and they said they had to repair the toilets bc one time they normally said yes to the homeless but said no one time, then the next time they allowed them to use the restroom they destroyed the toilet and smashed it in and the sinks. They are awful here. Entitled and a different breed of people.
@@jeanblaaaSOME!? There are waaaay more honest and good homeless people than you know and they are everywhere these days.
I'm homeless, my camp is neat & kleen,, BUT I'm not a druggie or alcoholic..
They protect them more than us. 😢
😂🤣😭 aww poor lady. Too much time on her hands.
It’s on purpose. They drive down the Home prices, and then their “friends” come and buy up the property.
“Us”?.. you must yet not be immersed in the fact of reality that you and yours may be alone?..
@@iminmylaneYou may feel differently if he camps in front of your house. Correction, your mamas house.
@YaqobStanding stick to pol ass clown
That this is tolerated in the slightest is simply amazing.
The government doesn't allow people to do anything about it.
Well, one of the problems is if you call the police, these people are not gonna comply and a lot of people are gonna get mad if the police use force. Do you want them to fix the problem but you don’t want them to use force that is exactly what this is all about.
@@lcfflc3887 Yep, and the ones that WILL get prosecuted are just THOSE people.
It's encouraged by the LAPD.
The city needs to be audited because safety measures should never be cut due to “budgetary constraints.”
Give this lady the job of "Director of Homelessness Strategies". She will get things done.
She only did something because it was in her neighborhood. That doesnt mean she wants to clean up yours. 😂

Citizens must be prepared to do what public official won't do.
The city needs to be held accountable for not taking action when there is a clear problem like this.
They were just ignoring you because that was easier to do than to try and solve the problem. I salute you.
Thanks exactly . Never got a response and he never got housing. Liars
solve the issue? why loose any funding?
@@aprilsilverman8744they reject housing
Actually, it is their POLICY to not "shame" them by requiring anything of them. This is the "Housing First" policy and it's BS.
Taking matters into your own hands and issuing vigilante justice is the only way to solve these problems. The government is complicit and against the citizens.
I hope you’re not going to church Sunday or any other day.😒☹️
Christian nation? My butt.
Working people have their property stolen, vandalized and destroyed and OUR government only cares about setting violent criminals free to hurt more people.
Our leaders will issue the usual vacuous, "We care" statements but they don't care.
We, the workers, are the bad people now and the powers-that-be will no longer help us.
As many have said, we are on our own.
I agree 👍 arm up
I hope UA-cam does something abut these foreign agents pretending to be American fostering some very unamerican anti-government sentiments. A bunch of right wing nut jobs are going to think these are real people and they'll smear feces on the halls of congress when their dictator for life mysteriously doesn't win in 2024. IT LITERALLY HAPPENED IN 2020. OP did not say OUR hands. he said YOUR hands. He's Russian bot. Do not side with Vladimir Putin in American politics. He and the GOP he runs just want to see America finally fail.
I live in Tokyo, Japan. In the city proper, we have a population of 14 million people. The greater metro area has nearly 40 million people. The entire country of Japan has 123 million people. Yet, the entire country of Japan has less than half as many homeless as the city of Sacramento, which has a population of 500,000. Japan's open secret to having almost no homelessness or crime is no drugs. Japan has never allowed drugs to get into society, and with no drugs, you don't have the myriad social problems caused by drugs and addiction. How does Japan keep drugs out of society? Simple, Japan harshly punishes drug users. Get caught with a joint, and you get a year or more in prison, and a lifelong conviction as a drug offender. By going after users, there is no market for dealers or distributors. America's so-called "War on Drugs" focused on dealers and distributors, not users. This actually caused an increase in demand, higher drug prices, and more people become drug dealers. But liberal cities in America are not trying to prevent addiction, by decriminalizing or legalizing drugs, they are increasing the addiction problem, and making the homeless situation works. Drugs turn people into animals, as you can see in the video. Japan also doesn't tolerate theft or property crime. Steal a bottle of water from a store, your first offense will get you 5 weeks in jail.
99% cinviction rate does hurt now, does it??
@@ixfxi Except that crime is so rare in Japan that very few people ever get arrested. Japan’s prison incarceration rate is 25 times lower than America’s. More than a few innocent people have been wrongfully convicted, but many times more people have been wrongfully convicted in America.
@@jpguthrie6669 Good for you, stay there 🤣.
There was a homeless camp that popped up overnight on the outher side of the brick wall behind my grandmothers house. The folks there turned her yard into their trashcan and bathroom after she shut off the pipe they had been stealing her water from.
So in response they started tossing so much trash, used drug needles and sacks of human waste into her yard. Her garden died an she couldn't let her own dogs out in her yard anymore after she found snail poison an glass in dog food.
She called the police over an over an they didn't little to nothing because they were technically not on her property. They took over a spillway owned by the city. But still nothing, cops said unless she had proof they can't do much. She spent 2k on setting up cameras an alarms to gather proof. She recorded them tossing things in her yard, catching then when they broke into one of her neighbors houses that was in-between renters, they broke in an took it over for a whole week. But no, it took a murder before the police finally forced them to move on! It was a hellish year for her.
Borrow a Rottweiler. Those dogs are NOT having it!
@@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823 She actually had two Bull Mastiff/Akitas an for a while they worked after the water stealing fiasco. She let me loose when they were trying to hook the hose back up at 6am and it sent the guy scuttling right back over the wall so fast he caught an ripped his shirt off. But unfortunately that's when the snail poison started being chucked over the wall as well.
Imagine paying a lot of money for your property and your business and living in fear! Good job!
I'm happy they feel that way. That's exactly how everyone else feels when they can't buy a house. So what let them go through with it?
@@sapien2291 Just stop the BS, these people aren't on the street because they can't afford a house. They are on the street due to their substance abuse and mental illness problems. Stop being so naive and learn to live with the truth.

This is what their community voted for and has cost LA taxpayers Billions of dollars. Not sure what they did with all that money to solve the homeless problem.
The city does not care about her or the homeless.
I know more than a few working homeless and I am close to homelessness myself due to a renoviction and cost of rent. I was always very sympathetic but it takes one bad experience to change that. I was assaulted by a homeless addict a couple months ago. Right outside my building door. I was quick enough to get the knife away from him but it took a toll. I always have to tell myself that theres some good people that are homeless (especially now considering its 2300 a month rent for a one bed apartment) but the bad ones ruin it for many.
I wish you safety, stability, and recovery dear soul❤️

@NotoriousEmu
There are different groups of homeless. Some are temporary -- lost a job, lost a house, but are working and will be back on their feet. They are not mentally ill. They are not druggies. Sometimes they have kids with them, but they keep the kids clean and fed and in school. If offered housing they will jump at the offer.
The other kind are long term homeless. About 80% are mentally ill. Nearly 100% are druggies, many self-medicating for their symptoms, and their habits are expensive, so they frequently turn to theft, extortion of other homeless, and prostitution. They share needles and spread diseases. They fight amongst themselves and with non-homeless neighbors and passers-by. If offered housing they will reluctantly go, but will move out or be asked to leave within the month.
Why, oh why, do we give these two groups the same care and attention? I am very sad when people are mentally ill but won't take their meds. Likewise with those who are drug addicts. But the contrast of people who want to help themselves, and people who don't, is glaring. You can't do anything for people who refuse your help. Spend the available money and resources on the homeless who want help and will use it to get out of homelessness.

I live in the Valley. As soon as one homeless car shows up our neighborhood, it won't last 24 hours before it's made to leave. These people should've never allowed the tent in the first place.
The tents and the shopping carts were grievous mistakes.
Outlaw them both and 85% of your homeless problem is solved.
There was a old guy who slept under the pine tree's,, never bothered anyone, did it for years, then the punks & druggies started camping there & city ran everyone off..
BAN SHOPPING CARTS
How do you make them move within 24hours?
@@xxkissmeketutxx make them extremely uncomfortable and disrupt their activities. They move to somewhere else where they won't be bothered.
They keep talking about housing- these types of homeless dont want homes, they want to live in tents, sell drugs, sex and litter trash everywhere. it is so dangerous to walk past these "sites" !!!
That’s exactly wats going on so it’s hard to have sympathy.
A home has to be cleaned and maintained and several bills come along with it for electricity, water,garbage, insurance etc...
Most of these people would destroy a house in just a few months.... then what?
They want lawlessness. Housing mean rules and they simply won’t follow them
It's so true! Some homeless do need the help others don't want it.
@@christopherconcept926yeah perhaps being at the shelter at 7 PM or get kicked out but your job has you out til 10 is a rule many struggle to follow. Not to mention you aren’t allowed to even smoke weed which is legal yet they’ll make them pick up cigarettes from other people as part of the chores. Just too many things that aren’t right about shelter life. Being around coughing sick people and getting bit by a spider isn’t very appealing either.
If everybody refuses to pay taxes, this will change.
This needs to happen everywhere.

If you dont pay your property taxes someone else will pay them for you. Its called a tax certificate. You are then forced to pay them back plus interest . If you dont pay them back in a certain amount of time. Your house will be auctioned off at a tax sale, to repay the investor. The county will get their money as right away, you lose even more.
April Silverman articulated well what could have been described in a vague and gray manner and left sounding simply like "I don't want him here." Rather, Ms Silverman detailed key points that made known a real threat for the community.
Thank you Karen Bass for not even coming close on delivering your promises. This area has gotten so bad.... it's not just the residents... we have all these people that are supposed to get help. People voted for the wrong mouth breathing giddy smiling mayor. More of the same in this city.
thats basiclly all politian. all fake promises to get votes
All politicians are crap. They need to be held accountable for their false promises. People need to wake up and realize that politicians are not here to help. They just help themselves.

This is a problem in Western Cities. Seattle has become a lawless city. I see men exposing themselves every day on the bus and walking down the street, open drug use, people defacating and urinating openly on the sidewalks in downtown, drug sales aren't conducted "in hidding" because there is no fear of arrest, graffiti sprayed during the day with people walking by, bodies layed out on the sidewalk every block you walk, people getting assaulted, stabbed and shot at all hours of the day and night. Fires in abandoned buildings, lots of those now because businesses are leaving like crazy. It is straight out of a horror movie. The city does absolutely nothing.
I guess you haven't been to NY. You'd hate it.
Thats how you handle it. People are done with being nice to these folks. I agree we need real solutions to the houseless, but this is how you step up for your neighborhood when dealing with a drug dealer. More power to everyone in LA who take this route..
TELL THAT TO KAMALA HARRIS!
Then we need to build houses in Los Angeles and every city in California and only give them to people that don't have houses and sell them for $100,000. That way these people can pay under $1,000 for mortgage, a set of paying over $4,000, a mortgage and the people that do have a house that it's already paid off. They're property taxes don't even put a dollar back in their parks or cities. So when are they going to wake up and realize their house ain't not worth $500,000?
When have people been nice ? 😅😂
Ok NIMBY. I bet you've never been homeless. Enjoy living alone in your 18 bedroom Mansion.
No, not "houses". "Homeless shelters" is what you meant to say. No one is entitled to special housing privileges if they cannot afford to procure it on their own. As someone who was homeless in Las Vegas for 4 months in the Summer heat, I couldn't even fathom having the nerve to ask my local government for my own single family home. Are you serious? A bunk bed inside of a building with heating & air conditioning & a shower is all that I or any homeless person needs. And I'm a completely sane, educated, and drug-free person. @@sapien2291

Just like Illegals are dreamers after they cross the border.
Just FYI, these are not homeless people, they are drug dealers
This is exactly why we moved to Northern California from LA 2 years ago. We tried everything to get our neighborhood cleaned up, for years, to no avail.

This is a real bad situation they are not just homeless they’re drug dealers and if you call the police they just completely ignore the situation.
Tough situation. Politicians wont do anything, the police wont do anything. If you do anything you will get arrested. They can sit out there and deal drugs all day and cops do nothing. But of you make their tent vanish, you get arrested.

@@DavianSinneryes, because this requires that she can make complete sentences and use a phone.
...and judging by many comments, she is above average simply by not being obese and by being able to communicate.
She is the type of person we need in local politics.
A vast majority of LA homeless do not truly want to get shelter, and actively avoid and refuse it. They want to live in their car or tent doing drugs and committing petty crime to finance it. While we make any theft under $950 a non-prosecution offense. Notice an incentive or perhaps a problem given current circumstance? Either make living on the street illegal, or make theft illegal. Tolerating both is why we get, both.
No me, I MOVE. Lightfoot ruined Chicago. And I had hopes for her. The Daleys wouldn't tolerate ANY of that.
It sucks that here hard earned time and money need to be used for something we taxpayers pay for anyways. Good for her bad for the hard working law abiding citizens of California!!

America is not facing a homelessness issue - it is facing drug addiction. Big difference
Thanks to lax enforcement, soft on crime DA's and judges, and "open borders"!
exactly.. you have to be drug free to get the housing and some don't want to give up their habbit.
It's really sad. All my life in USA I never ever want to try drugs.. It's just never appealing for me. I know once I tried it, it will destroy my life and my future.
America's not building houses. That's the number one problem
Politicians aren't shitting on sidewalks and stabbing people.@@jj5153
Planters with cactus plants have proven to work in our neighborhood.
So does a Rottweiler. Lol. This is an immensely smart dog that isn't having it. They don't have to bite or growl, they just stare at you. That's enough.
Imagine buying a home well over $1m and paying taxes all to have to deal with this BS!?? Precisely why I left SoCal for Arizona!!! The city’s a dump with 🤡s for elected officials!!! When will the SoCal citizens start taking action against this 💩 and vote according to ACTIONS not PROMISES!???
That's why Arizona is fucked.
Never, they are all thoroughly brainwashed, and have a bad case of Stockholm Syndrome.
Buying property is the investment risk owners assume. There no guarantees any property will hold value, one big fire, one eq, one floid, one tornado and the million dollar house is zero. Owner liability. Even if 200 rv park outside your door. Its no guarantee the 1million will be that in 2 years. As a property owner that is the risk YOU assume.
It's the gov't's responsibility to do their jobs, not rely on a private citizen to do it for them. Vote out mayors, sheriffs and council members that won't motivate the law enforcement arm of the gov't to DO THEIR JOBS, and keep the citizenry safe!
I love the phrase " we will investigate " , meaning stall until election time.
they're too busy investigating --- they never resolve anything. That's how it works.
They'll investigate the donut shop.
There’s nothing to investigate. Drugs are legal now. Lol.
I'm dealing with a similar situation. The same guy keeps coming back to the same spot at the top of my street. I don't pay $11k/year in property tax for this. I created 311 reports and nothing ever happens. Since he's not on private property there's nothing legally we can do. Sooner or later something's gonna happen and someone's gonna get hurt. It'll be the city's fault for prioritizing bums over law abiding tax payers.
311 is useless. The problem is you have no contact person to follow up in the appropriate department. You need specific names, emails and phone numbers to follow-up.
We should all go through the same steps she went through to take care of the homelessness.
Agreed thank u!
Start your own podcast if time permits, April. You're a smart, passionate, & photogenic woman with a lot to report on here, & you're not the only one dealing with this. Interview politicians. Keep this matter in the public eye by reaching out to media. Take your show on the road & cover other neighborhoods experiencing this, too. Go for it. @@aprilsilverman8744
You know theres a difference between actual homeless and drug sit ins in tents that use homeless as their scapegoat right? Big difference..
@sometea4741 you'd like to believe that, but no, no, there isn't if your actually trying to become not homeless you won't even be in this situation so has some common sense and don't defend the obvious losers sleeping in tents begging for money everyday to keep doing the same thing day after day you don't help by being ignorant.
It's what happens when cost of living doubles and your president is senile@@tangerinetech5300
Now the city will issue fines for building a fence w/o a permit on the land owner.
I think fences are usually a bit easier to install without permit, but they sure like to I bet
They can’t . It’s the property owners private property
Of course the homeless man did not accept the city housing. He doesn't want to follow the rules.
The people living on the streets are there because of drugs, crime, abuse, illness, etc. not because rent is too high.
She's brave, coming on TV. I hope that she's not in danger.
What would be even more brave is if she spent a night in a tent.
No one should feel intimidated by a crowd that tries to euthanize itself every day.
Same, hope she has a license to carry.
Where all the IRS tax dollars going to? All those hard working people who pay their property taxes and yearly taxes and get nothing to show for it. They deserve a refund. IRS is corrupt. That's the problem.
The entitlement and privilege of these individuals is outrageous. Politicians must be held accountable for enabling hatred and toxicity.
Send them over to THEIR house
I hope all you people that voted for Karen Bass are happy she’s done nothing to help the city
Homeless people and crime go together, nooooooo it can't be.
People need to start taking matters into their own hands to protect their own space.
They will call you a Karen but demand you PAY for
Everything and anything upon command as they Tax you more and more.😅😅
Correct. ! I’m an annoying conservative Karen in their books because I don’t want drugs everywhere
@@aprilsilverman8744I rather have a karen than a criminal lowlife in my neighborhood. Lmao
This was no ordinary homeless encampment. The strange man in the tent drew a bad element to this neighborhood.
This is happening all over the USA.
Only in the blue states 😂
@@jaredmartin6538 And in blue cities in red states.
No it's not.
Not in kentucky baby Repubican state
we keep the Homeless in control.
Gascon will probably file criminal charges against this woman… what a joke LA politics is
God bless this woman!
Thank u!
Matthew 25:40 “whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
This lady just kicked Jesus out of her neighborhood.
@@user-fy7ru4ii1i Jesus wasn't a drug addict and dealer
Great job of this woman! I had to do something similar in my neighborhood with a slum landlord next to me. Unfortunately if you don't take matters yourself, nothing gets done since city leaders are worried about homeless rights rather than homeowners rights especially if you are witnessing drug activity. Makes my blood boil.
What a lady! Looking after her neighbors, neighborhood and local businesses. She should be a leader of the community!!!!👍
Thank u!
Good for her. We need more people like this to take matters into their own hands.
That's sooooo wild that the tax paying homeowners have to go through all of that and even erect a structure just to keep the tents,homeless,drugs and God knows what away from family. It seems many cities and many states have lost the way to and for the the people.
It was hell . And I did not vote for any of this
I bet you if these homeless people were living across the street from a cops house the LAPD would have done something about it.
correct
Send them over there. They live on the outskirts of major cities, where it's cheaper. You don't see any crime over there, either!!
Unfortunately, most of us don't get this far. The system is completely broken. You would think society would be ashamed that their women aren't safe in their own neighborhoods. If you try to take care of a problem, all you get is the run around usually.
A large part of the homeless are women. What does the perceived safety of people living in homes have to do with this conversation?
This is what my apartment complex looks like. The manager won’t do anything about it. We call the cops but even they tell us they can’t do anything unless theirs an actual danger.
You go Silverman!!! We need to get our neighborhoods back again!!!
thank u!
Absolutely agree! Get them out of YOUR neighborhood and into someone else's neighborhood!
Lets not help the individual get OFF the street, let's get them to someone else's street.
@@user-fy7ru4ii1i Many of them flat out don't want help. They want to continue their toxic ways of life.
I wonder why people keep leaving that awful place. People who live decently and pay property tax have fewer rights than people who live a criminal existence on the street...
💯
I'm THIS close to buying an RV and not having a mortgage. Water/sewer/trash bill, interest, high insurance, heating bill, A/C and electric bills...
So much love and respect for this lady. She did what was right for society.
Thanks
Prime example of what happens when the first one sets up and everyone ignores it. Soon you are overrun with them.
We need to fight back
This all started with then District Attorney James Hahn who refused to prosecute people for loitering and camping stating that he would NOT prosecute people for not having a place to live. He basically opened up a can of worms with new opportunities for criminal behavior. It's only become worse since then.
Well, shite, there's free R and B in JAIL if the Sally isn't ok for you, or Haymarket. (Salvation Army, and they EXPECT work, its not "free,")
He doesn't have a car, he has 3
does not pay DMV, 55 fines
He has 4 cars
Glad she opened her eyes
I’m a Republican. My eyes r wide open
@@aprilsilverman8744 I’m glad they’re open, how’s the blind eye treating you.
@@MichaelCuevas-bg2btwtf
Good for you! This insane pattern of putting the rights of criminals above the rights of law abiding citizens, tax paying citizens has GOT to stop.
the city doesn't care about anyone that doesn't give big money their campaigns
When the system favors criminals over workers, vigilantism is the ONLY answer.
Many homeless individuals WANT to stay on the streets and NOT in a shelter because there are "rules" & "laws" to abide by and they would rather do what they want without helping with the chores as well as the rules & laws that go w/staying at a shelter. They do have choices.
Have you ever stayed at a shelter? Most of them are awful. There’s a reason people prefer the privacy of a tent.
I worked with homeless people for years most are respectful and find their way off the streets yet a small percentage are just nasty they don't care or respect anything and a small few are truly evil I've been attacked about 7 times and I'm the person who tries to find them housing give them food and clothing I even carry smokes to hand them out one of these evil picks pushed my female co-worker then punched me after I taught him a painful lesson he tried to get me fired and actually sued me ,yet the homeless camp actually went to court in my behalf it proved that most homeless hate these bullies as much as we do
How on earth can a homeless bum sue you??? 😮
You are literally the problem. Were you never taught not to feed strays? That's how you end up with a stray problem.
I can relate ,I volunteer to a feed the homeless ministry ,most are people down on their luck ,,,but I’ve encountered some folks that I truly believe are possessed and I’m amazed at how violent they can become in an instant,,,,,I’m no small person and like all folks out of control they could care less how big you are and how confident you address them
You work with homeless people for years what year was that?
@@1990758 I’ve been involved for only a year but I’m doing the work in the Antelope Valley ,here in thePeoples Republic of progressive Marxist Kaulifornia
This is the new normal in America. Criminals and law breakers are protected . 😮
Time to move further out. I'm two seconds out from a burb, and going further out in time.
They will follow U if U keep running
He has more rights as homeless then you do in that stupid state
We need to arrest people for loitering and sleeping on sidewalks.
Good job lady.
Thanks!
What do you expect in a govt who protects criminals rather than its law abiding citizens.
The city gov't should have taken the action without a private citizen having to do anything. That's why they were elected! Why aren't the city gov't employees, i.e. police doing their jobs?
"The council office collaborated with [Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority] to secure interim housing for the individual living at the location, and directed L.A. Sanitation to conduct a CARE+ cleaning last week. We have also asked LAPD to investigate alleged criminal behavior, and will continue to work with the residents and business owners to ensure the surrounding area is safe."
*Translation: we did absolutely nothing to take care of this problem but for public relations, we need to release a statement that trumps up our efforts of doing nothing. We’ll say we collaborated with LA homeless services, LA Sanitation and LAPD. Nobody can verify our efforts, we’ll just say we did it over the phone. If we could say we collaborated with God, we would throw that in there too. Because we don’t care. Pay your taxes, stop complaining and don’t expect a damn thing from us.*
She is the type of person who should be running for office. If more people like her were making decisions about the homeless, it would be better for everybody.
Thanks so much !!! Agreed . And I’m no liberal whatsoever I’m a republican all the way
@@aprilsilverman8744 Good for you. :) Liberals are absolutely destroying our country.

You know what...she just might do it... she'll have a lotta enemies though...but I think she can pull it off
@@aprilsilverman8744 Party affiliation no longer means anything to me. The people just want results.
It's getting bad here in Las Vegas too. I live in North Las Vegas and when Caroline Goodman decided that Main Street wasn't going to look like this, they all packed up moved to North Las Vegas and the surrounding areas. They tried to set up a camp near my neighborhood but that was shut down immediately after they started wandering around and stealing from our yards. Not sure if the police actually did something or if the people in the neighborhood said something to them, but they all packed up and left.
