The problem is street homeless are fentanyl and Tranq addicts, and they are literally like zombies. They are not able to do anything even leave private property.
This is no surprise. All the money being going through these companies providing services to the homeless and to really believe all these folks are Mother Teresa? What about criminal charges being brought against the fired employee? Hopefully the homeless person gets justice and a lawyer. To just fire the employee is just brushing it under the rug.
A similar case happened in San Francisco when a business owner did something similar out of frustration having a mentally ill homeless woman living in the sidewalk in front of his business. In that case based on all the public and advocate group outrage the business owner was arrested and criminally charged. Common George Gascon do what the voters of Los Angeles wanted and go after those harm the underserved….or do you only protect criminals and go after cops?
Good. He shouldn’t have been on private property.
hey, where’s the soap ?
That could be anyone of us. We are all just either one paycheck away or bad decision from homelessness. It upsets me to the core how callous people behave towards the homeless.
If Newsom is so great why doesn't he HELP the millions of homeless in his state?
an overdue shower
Why don't elites who support homeless invite them into their large homes that can easily house 30 people for their 5 or 2-person family?
He was getting a free bath
:(((
Why would anyone do that to anyone else??? We live in a very sad world!!!
Shame on that prior employee, how dare they, that is disgusting behavior. Horrible, inhumane actions of a prior employee, what total disregard for the humanity of our homeless population. I curse them.
He's going to jail just like the Museum owner!
I don’t want them on the side walk either but this is cruel.
So we all have to live in filth because some jerk refuses to move so we can clean. The easier it is to be homeless in your town, the more homeless your town will have.
Poop on the sidewalks is especially messy & dangerous to clean.
It’s just a picture she could’ve asked him to move several times, and she moved closer and closer with the water until he finally started to move. It’s not like she was hosing him in his face❤
That’s really sad I really feel sorry for that man that was just mean maybe that ex employee should walk a mile in that man’s shoe’s ‼️‼️ 😢 😡
He was wrong 😮😢
Homelessness has become so acceptable in California that people have become desensitized to it! Anywhere else in America it would be shocking, but not in the Golden state especially.
That's bullying. And that's such an Israeli act!! Israeled!
Sorry but the sidewalk is a public space. Not a bedroom.
He just giving a free shower.
He said Disturbing Act… Lets invite homeless to live in front of his house…
Just let the sidewalks stay as is. Water the trees instead.
The homeless problem mainly is an issue with mental health. In the past schizophrenics were forcibly confined for their own and the public’s safety. Very few of the homeless people are down on their luck bums just wanting a hand out. They are in the streets because family can’t watch out for them because of fear of violence. It’s no coincidence that the homeless problem exploded after we stopped these “out dated” views.
File a civil suit against the city. Its inhumane
Htf they going to do that 😢
Dame….human life is like animal…washdown pipe line…
It's funny when your government HAD spent billion of money for ISRAEL PARIAH APARTHEID WARS meanwhile their people suffering and homeless 😂😂😂😂😂
Oh isn't that kind and compassion. Just like a Christian 😮
Fix the title!
Illegal Alien Sprays Water on Veteran!
Spraying anyone with cold water when the weather is freezing is just cruel.
That guy has to clean up all the pelosis left by the homeless. I guess he has to love it too…

America is not a first world country
Ahh that makes sense, a contractor. No benefits, no PTO, no healthcare and no reason to care. Unemployment benefits and everything that comes with it is just as good, if not better, as being a contractor stuck on the hamster wheel of gain-less employment. Been there, done that.
Meanwhile send money to Ukraine
Imagine having to clean up after the homeless…
Haha😂. That's what u get for being an a-hole!
Your country prefers war to caring for the homeless
The struggle is real
