it's one of those stories that popped up when it was assumed the Cash App CEO was a victim of homeless violence (it was def my assumption)

The og story from a few weeks ago. After asking some homeless people to move from in front of his mother's house, he was attacked and beaten with a pipe, suffered a fractured skull and other injuries.

now new videos surfaced that he's likely been the guy going around SF attacking homeless people with Bear spray, and picked the wrong guy.

he was also only fire commissioner for 4 months and had to step down after a domestic violence charge.

the homeless crisis is out of control in cali, but it's a trip how stories like this play out.

Fuck the SF FC, hope he's in pain for the rest of his miserable life.

he was fire commissioner for 4 months in 2013, and had to step down in shame due to a criminal charge

Media failures.

homeless folks are treated like shit..

and yes, some of them are truly assholes but most are just out there minding their business or off their meds

also reminds me of my homie I grew up with who was a volunteer fire fighter. Dude started setting vacant houses and buildings on fire and would put them out trying to play hero so he could get hired full time. Did like 3 years in jail for that shit.

Saw him last year at Juneteenth and another friend told me that story. I had no idea.. lol.

unrelated but i just found out this dude i used to work with was a crazy klepto. like he couldn't walk into a store without stealing something. he didn't need to, and he was just this nerdy white guy no one would suspect. except he didn't have a goal in mind. he was just on that Marie Schrader.

Dude really thought he was doing justice going around harassing the homeless.

Man I don't LOVE having homeless people on my block. They are mostly harmless and some times if they ask me and I am in the right mood and have it on me, I give them a few dollars.

But I do hate the aggressive ones and I hate seeing them post up like they own the block. It was hilarious because this young white druggy couple was on my block and the block associations had fits about what to do about it. Someone eventually told them to scram and they left a scathing note behind. It was some park slope shit.

I guess I land on the side of the mayor who wants to have the ability to make it easier to commit folks who are habitually homeless. It sounds heartless but it also feels like ignoring the problem to do nothing.

My sister used to live on 6th and President.

Loved that neighborhood. Used to call it Mixed Slope because all the interracial couples lived in Park Slope in the 90’s.

LA's always had a large homeless population. SF too but i've never seen anything like the last few years, and it seems to keep getting exponentially worse.

but i feel you on the batman thing. fuck this big doofus. beating well deserved.

Northeast is too cold to have homeless people like Cali.. especially LA.

Dude that got attacked seems like a POS that got back the energy he put out. I get that.



That caveat aside, ain't no way I'm cool w/ violent homeless (and possibly mentally ill and/or drug addicted) dudes strapped with lead pipes posted up outside my mom's house.

that pepper spraying people on the sidewalk is a terrible thing to do.

i don't condone that in any way. but i understand the problem. a couple blocks down for me late last summer and into the fall there was a guy camped on the strip of grass between the street and the sidewalk. he was clearly mentally ill, on some do drugs and horde useless shit mission: there was his tent and then his ever-expanding junkyard of shit. had been a big tent camp nearby but this is a quiet stretch of street--he was about 20 yards from a small bar, a bakery and right next to an old apartment building. i'd walk by, sometimes he'd be screaming at people, sometimes smoking or shooting up by himself or with his buddies, a few times some do-gooder idiot who lives in the building would be out there humming aummm with him. so i had him clocked as a nuisance, potentially dangerous if I (or, more my concern: a woman) crossed his patch of sidewalk at the wrong moment.

well, guy's been camped out for 2 maybe three months, one night i'm walking home with groceries, say hey to a guy i know drinking on the patio of the bar...--how ya been? --that motherfucker hit ___
I look at ____. above his eye, he's got a two golfball sized bump. the homeless guy swung on him with a golfclub for no apparent reason.

cops had come, homeless guy and his friend ran off.

curious everyone's take on what happened next, i'm not still not sure how I feel about it.

someone who lives nearby walked home, grabbed lighter fluid, soaked the homeless guy's tent and shit down and torched it all.

ever since the guy has been set-up about a half mile away, in a more industrial area, not on my pleasant stretch of neighborhood. so the vigilantism worked. repeated calls to the police did not.

again, pepper spraying homeless people is another tier of fucked up. but what about torching their shit when they are endangering (and actually assaulting) your neighbors and the police do nothing?

it has made my life a bit better having him gone. but it seems like it shouldnt have to be like this.

i think this can be hard for people who don't live in places where homlessness is an actual, oh fuck did i just step in human shit again, kinda problem.

what to do?

You gotta go

Golf club dude is lucky he didn't take any bodily damages
