1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:04,000
Speaker 1: If you say yes to a solution, we will clean

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:07,520
Speaker 1: our streets and sidewalks. And look at our streets today.

3
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:12,800
Speaker 1: It's disgusting because of a lack of consequences. If you

4
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 1: don't take down your tent, then you have to go

5
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:20,599
Speaker 1: through an AA program and we're not done. Then you

6
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 1: have to go to the drug free program, and we're

7
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 1: not done. If you don't take down your tent, you're

8
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:34,879
Speaker 1: going to go to jail. When there's a threat that

9
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 1: your freedom will be taken away, some people are gonna

10
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 1: change their lives, I can tell you. And just talk

11
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 1: my amazing team who was on the ground every damn

12
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 1: day when they sort buckets of FECs and urine, fecis

13
00:00:57,760 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 1: and urine to the let's talk cruelty and evil. Now,

14
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 1: I've walked over at least a mile to try to

15
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:13,119
Speaker 1: find a bathroom, and here is one. Here's first, John

16
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 1: dot Com eight seven seven joint to go our customers

17
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 1: go first. But look at what's here for people that

18
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 1: have to use the bathroom that are in house. Look

19
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 1: what's greets and where do they go? There are no

20
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 1: handle washing stations, there are no porter parties, And this

21
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: is an example of evil and cruelty that the disguise,

22
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 1: and this is right under the tents here. People always

23
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: ask or say that what they would do during the

24
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 1: civil rights Holocaust or any atrocity during history. But the

25
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 1: reality is you're doing exactly what you have done in

26
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: those time period ces that is nothing or being different

27
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: or be afraid to act or make changes that would

28
00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 1: benefit all of humanity, not just a certain select, select

29
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 1: amount of promitic So here is THEO. Henderson Conwiediam House.

30
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: We're out here in San Pedro, and I want you

31
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: to take a very good look at what you would

32
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 1: have done during those turbulent times, because you're doing it now.

33
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 1: Create some bathrooms and supportive pies. In hand washing stations

34
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 1: audio diary. Here we found one abandoned, non serviceable hand

35
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 1: washing station. No water, no soap, no paper. In a pandemic.

36
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:38,679
Speaker 1: We're still in the pandemic. And the CDC guidelines applies here.

37
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:42,280
Speaker 1: But for some reason, for people that are police officers

38
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 1: or city council the law doesn't apply to them. They

39
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 1: are above us. They feel that they are above the law.

40
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 1: Yet they're supposed to enforce the law, and apparently they don't.

41
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 1: This is THEO. Henderson from William Howes. We have just

42
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: found out that one of the signs that says that

43
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 1: is non smoking is of quite a distance away. Our

44
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 1: guest today Andre stated that he was arrested and served

45
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:36,479
Speaker 1: a year in Chino prison for smoking a cigarette out here.

46
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,599
Speaker 1: So we're going to cover it visually as well as

47
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: talk about this this way the sign and how is

48
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: someone to know that there's no smoking if there are

49
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 1: no signs apparent here on just it's a long, hilly

50
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,359
Speaker 1: kind of area. So let's take our trek to this.

51
00:05:55,680 --> 00:06:00,280
Speaker 1: As you can see, we are near here here as

52
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 1: you can see, and you don't see any signs. I

53
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 1: don't see any signs that will say anyway. There is

54
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,799
Speaker 1: a sign that is close by that introduces the park.

55
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 1: So you can see here in the streets. You can

56
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 1: see the bridge as you can see. And this is

57
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 1: very hot and this will remind you last couple of

58
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 1: weeks ago we had a very strong heatwave and there

59
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,279
Speaker 1: was over nine on Housing County that died from heat

60
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 1: related injuries. That illnesses due to the heat wave and

61
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: the brushfire aftermath is you can see this is San

62
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 1: Pedro landmarks. They talked about the Vincent Thomas Bridge, the

63
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: uss Iowa, the municipal Ferry building, the ports of carl Village,

64
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 1: and they show us some historical things dating back to

65
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 1: nineteen o six, which starts with the Shoe String Strip

66
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,719
Speaker 1: announced to the City of Los Angeles. So this is

67
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:59,359
Speaker 1: called the Shoe String Strip. In nineteen fifteen, they connected

68
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:04,160
Speaker 1: a harbor boulevard to out of Harbor, and then from

69
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: nineteen nineteen to nineteen forty San Pedro between became a

70
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: I guess homes to the US Navy port or fleet,

71
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 1: and it all the way goes up to twenty twelve

72
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 1: where the uss Iowa is permanently docked at the Port

73
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: of Los Angeles. So as you can see, there's a

74
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 1: lot of history here. Right across the street from this

75
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: Shoe String Strip is the San Pedro United States Post

76
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 1: Office and here is a marker if you will, and

77
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 1: there's a memorial, a memorial of the maritime and this

78
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 1: industry memorial. I don't know what it's about. The shelter.

79
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 1: This shelter is dedicated to the women of the Maritime

80
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: union industries of Los Angeles Harbor. So also here is

81
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 1: the history of the Los Angeles history street of San

82
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 1: Pedro Plaza Park, which started and was open to the

83
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 1: public on July first in eighteen eighty nine. They also

84
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 1: have the Carnegie Library. In nineteen sixty six, the Carnegie

85
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: Library was demolished, so it's not here anymore, but he

86
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,119
Speaker 1: used to be a spot here. I guess they showed

87
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 1: this as the landmark of it on this location. So

88
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: here is where one of the sciences is San Pedro

89
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 1: Plaza Park. No smoking, no skateboard, no skating, camping, graffiti,

90
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 1: moon bouncer jumpers, no littering, no dogs, no alcohol, no bicycles,

91
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:45,199
Speaker 1: no amplified sound, no open flames, no shopping carts, umbrellas,

92
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 1: sunshades or canopies must be open on all sides. All

93
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 1: of these items must be removed from park before park

94
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 1: is closed. No trespassing during hours of closure. Park hours

95
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 1: sunrise to sunset. So as you can see, they have

96
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: a very anti in house sentiment here as well, due

97
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 1: to knowing that people are suffering and needing a place

98
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 1: to lodge, so which is why you see the young

99
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: housed on the sidewalks. We have over sixty thousand and

100
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 1: counting of the unhoused community, not counting people that are

101
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 1: house and secure that may be joining the ranks of

102
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 1: the un housed community. So as you can see the

103
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 1: length and distance that it takes for us to find

104
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: that sign. And if you're just standing and just taking

105
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 1: your ease and stopping to take a cigarette smoke out

106
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 1: here in the open air, that he was not in

107
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,319
Speaker 1: the park. He was standing on the sidewalk. And he

108
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 1: sent this him to a year in Chino prison for

109
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 1: smoking his cigarette. Now we talk about prison reform and

110
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:48,119
Speaker 1: incarceration and the pipeline to prison school, the prison pipeline.

111
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 1: Here is a very clear point of it. Andrea is

112
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:56,839
Speaker 1: an Indigenous American. He has been heavily criminalized, of course

113
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 1: for his status as well as from being who he is.

114
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 1: As you can seek very clearly, many people of color

115
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 1: are criminalized and punished due to just the vagaries of

116
00:10:08,280 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 1: white supremacy. Good morning. This is THEEO. Henderson from Medion

117
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 1: House and we are here in San Pedro, and San

118
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,559
Speaker 1: Pedro has gotten a very complicated history dealing with the

119
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 1: unhoused community. In the background here you can see besides

120
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 1: the lake in the water, this used to be a

121
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 1: halfway house that dealt with us an housed community. Right

122
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 1: now they're using this building. They're thrown out the young

123
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 1: house who are in front of the building, but they're

124
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 1: using it as a film excerdent. One of the residents

125
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 1: here in Sant Pete Drug uh, Andre is gonna talk

126
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 1: to us a little bit about his experiences of being

127
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 1: unhoused and with the challenges it is like to be

128
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:10,960
Speaker 1: out here in San Pedro. Uh just uh fyi this

129
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 1: is the district where council member Joe Boscano, who is

130
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 1: a former police officer that uh loves the police so

131
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 1: much that he has taken measures to target unhouse people

132
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:25,559
Speaker 1: in several different ways aggressively. So what I've further do

133
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,079
Speaker 1: this is Andre. Hello, Andre? Heh, how do you do

134
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 1: the morning we did? So tell us a little bit

135
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 1: about uh yourself. How did you become unhoused? I was

136
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 1: living here. I got here first of all, I've I've

137
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:43,720

Speaker 1: my friends and stuff from public. Then we just try

142
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,560
Speaker 1: to do doing normal things that everybody else does. Cause

00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 1: we don't have like, uh, illnesses and things like that.

144
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 1: How long have you been out here on the streets?

145
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, roughly probably are like a a year. And

146
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:15,559
Speaker 1: it's like a roller coaster. You have your videos and

147
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:19,599
Speaker 1: day it's like everybody yards us. So today's weather and

148

Speaker 1: close to ninety uh what was it close to ninety

00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 1: degrees today? Uh? Or up upward? How do you guys

151
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,679
Speaker 1: cope with the heat out here when you're out here

152
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 1: on the street, because some places people can go into

173
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 1: name on the list and the ship that bed. So

174
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 1: is it a shelter or is it a hotel a

175
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 1: project or hoh hotel room key or because if you say, uh,

Speaker 1: you didn't there's there, I'm sorry, I'll be wan want

177
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 1: s uh guy, there's there's a book and uh, I

178
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 1: guess the one with the hotel is count school. You know,

179
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 1: we're all this, we're all littlest over here. Uh and

180
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 1: uh it's for people like oh oh yeah, okay, like

181
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 1: a senior home. Yes, you know, we used to be

182
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 1: a hotel, but they haven't play at old coats. I'm

183
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 1: then at the homeless corner over here too, might ride

184
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 1: the brick building that's another's a homeless shelter. I really yes,

185
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 1: And so I are you uh for uh being in

186
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 1: a hotel or shelters because some people prefer sh uh

187
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 1: hotels and shelters. What's what's your perspective on that? Well, yeah,

188
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 1: I'll have for a uh a hotel better a why

189
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 1: because I have my uh privacy plus the showers right

190
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 1: there while to sharing what I have a prom shearon

191
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 1: either but it's more comfort than order of home, right

192
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 1: and consider there's a waiting experience, So I gotta wait

193
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 1: on that one. What what I see the cities UH

194
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 1: has always been pushing for is been pushing for you

195
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 1: guys to go to shelters. And many of some of

196
00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 1: the un house like myself included, have been uh reluctant

197
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 1: to shelters cause I've had a lot of things happen.

198
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 1: I've had uh violence encounter there, uh the staff or

199
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 1: the it feels like a prison like the one I

200
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 1: was in one of the shelters uh in the downtown area.

201
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 1: They had this very militarized kind of f uh a

202
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 1: way of living. So is this the same here in

203
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 1: these shelters or no? Yes, especially it's the same. And

204
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 1: they got a curfew man, they all share one refrigerator

205
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 1: while you know, the more people again but didn't live

206
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 1: with nobody. Uh, but uh it's a good thing. But

207
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 1: I just think that the uh they're doing that to stuff,

208
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 1: uh make themselves still good, you know, cause we're still

209
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 1: out here in the street, and I'm I'm concerned about

210
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 1: the females out here. You know why you're concerned about them?

211
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 1: What's going on here? Because first of all, when they

212
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 1: have to use the facilities, they have to use the restaurant,

213
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 1: you know, don't respect everybody. I mean, they can go

214
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 1: on a corner or words or something like that, which

215
00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 1: is not it's not a good thing to do, right,

216
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 1: But there's no for a female of golf. You know,

217
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 1: there's no outhouses out here. There's nothing to wash your hands.

218
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: You know, a COVID nineteen is in in its in

219
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 1: its height, there's no uh sanitary there's no That's what

220
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:14,080

221
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:17,399
Speaker 1: p uh bathrooms. There's no hand washing stations out here.

222
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 1: This is this is weird. So what happens, let's say

00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,399
Speaker 1: the tamp what happens in somewhat any other house community

224
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 1: and cats COVID nineteen that means it could spread through

225
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 1: the house and hot how house community exactly because we

226
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:31,280

Speaker 1: You get it like four months from now. You get

259
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 1: you don't get it right away, you get it four months. Yeah, yeah,

260
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:18,400
Speaker 1: you know, you know they put us on. They put

261
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 1: us like on it was a car, or they put

262
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 1: us on a bumper. You know, don't you respect? Yeah,

263
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,880
Speaker 1: what if you had, for example, I had a situation

264
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 1: where they had secured me somewhere that I could possibly be.

265
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 1: But the problem is I'm not from here. I'm from Chicago.

266
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 1: And ever since nine to eleven, it's very difficult from

267
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,159
Speaker 1: Chicago and Chicago to get your ID and things like that.

268
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:44,879
Speaker 1: Now added on COVID nineteen. There's nobody in these buildings

269
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 1: for me to get my birth certificate in order for

270
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 1: me to get my Social Security car. It's not like

271
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:52,439
Speaker 1: here in California. You maybe can wangle or talk with somebody,

272
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:55,640
Speaker 1: but another city has their own rules and their own policies,

273
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 1: and you can't if you're out of states. It's just

274
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:01,120
Speaker 1: what it is. So and I right now, like you're saying,

275
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:03,719
Speaker 1: for four months, what if you have like for example,

276
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:06,439
Speaker 1: someone comes and say, Andrew, we got housing for you. Uh,

277
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:08,879
Speaker 1: what we need is your ID, your Social again? And

278
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:10,360
Speaker 1: they don't and you don't have that, and you said,

279
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 1: can you come? Can you wait for four months? They said, no,

280
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 1: it's today. What would happen if that then that was

281
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 1: an opportunity? You know, it's gone, you know, And that's

282
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 1: just that. You gotta be reminded them that they patrol

283
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 1: your too well, but who LAPD patrols right here? They

284
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:32,199
Speaker 1: come by all the time and they always ask us

285
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 1: if they're dark to us. Sent are used to it.

286
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 1: You don't have to put that's against the law. You

287
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 1: don't unless you are wanted by this, the the the

288
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 1: pr uh, the police. You don't have to give them

289
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 1: your ID. But to see this is again why when

290
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 1: people are saying be fund the police and you have

291
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:51,440
Speaker 1: the bootlovers, uh are are are running to their defense

292
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 1: and staying unhouse people all up from our criminals. This

293
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,440
Speaker 1: is the kind of leg i uh illegality that they do.

294
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:01,679
Speaker 1: And there's no consequences because your bisco, he's the police,

295
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 1: a foreign police officer, and a boot liquor himself to LAPD.

296
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 1: They can do no wrong and he's not helped holding

297
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 1: him accountable. So uhh, So what happens if let's say,

298
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:14,400
Speaker 1: for example, I'm housed and I don't like hot house

299
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:16,879
Speaker 1: people and I start a fight or call the police

300
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:20,400
Speaker 1: on Do you get any of those kinds of situations? Yes,

301
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 1: all the time. You know, we're gonna be careful because

302
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 1: we're right here on the curbage right right right. Uh uh.

303
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 1: For I may say it, a couple of weeks ago,

304
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 1: a car pulled up right here to talk to somebody.

305
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 1: You know, I didn't even know who it was, right,

306
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:37,879
Speaker 1: and I was feeling something and the next thing. You know,

307
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 1: the person backed up wipe about my chant and turn

308
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 1: like and and he trying to turn this way and

309
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:46,880
Speaker 1: and run into personal regiment a car. Oh my god.

310
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 1: And then they got off the car and they started

311
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 1: calling them and everything. So my whole point of this,

312
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:56,399
Speaker 1: right I'm saying, is that I'm concerned about people going

313
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 1: out here and or a car chase or something, you

314
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 1: know in a part rooms. Yeah, I got the algorithm.

315
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 1: Rugs are here too, Yeah, yeah, I have you said.

316
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:08,719
Speaker 1: I noticed a couple of elderly people there too. They

317
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 1: can't move fast enough in time. So yes, yes, yes, yes,

318
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:13,919
Speaker 1: I'm out of disabilities and stuff like that. I can

319
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 1: go indoors you know, uh uh, but I don't because

320
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:22,119
Speaker 1: you need somebody here try to watch over them, you know,

321
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:25,439
Speaker 1: to user from be aware of dohnsons, and you're more

322
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:27,880
Speaker 1: mobile even though you're disabled, you're more mobile to help

323
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 1: the elderly out here in the community. Because again, let's

324
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:32,440
Speaker 1: be clear, the young house is the community. We do

325
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,199
Speaker 1: look after each other, just like the uh the uh

326
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:37,880
Speaker 1: the house. People can create these business improve the districts

327
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 1: and homeowners associations. We have our own homeowner association. We

328
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:43,920
Speaker 1: look after each other from against let's let's face it,

329
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:48,160
Speaker 1: from the homeowner owners that are basically not really sympathetic

330
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:51,720
Speaker 1: to the Gunner House community. So we have we we've

331
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 1: established that the police come out here to target you

332
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:57,719
Speaker 1: guys that you gots got to put in in the garbage.

333
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:01,160
Speaker 1: Garbage back what if like ustation every Tuesday, he says,

334
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 1: do they come early in the morning or mine? What

335
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:10,879
Speaker 1: time between six and in the morning? How long there

336
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 1: was food flass? Supposedly they put tons if they said,

337
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:17,879
Speaker 1: probably to friv in the evening or they're gonna be

338
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 1: on stuff like that. So we're looking our whole life

339
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 1: light everything that we own, We're looking it everywhere. Did

340
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 1: you know that there has been a ruling about the

341
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:30,680
Speaker 1: judge that there are not to take your bulky items

342
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,440
Speaker 1: and things like that, but they're still breaking the law.

343
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:37,680
Speaker 1: They for example, the judge handed down recently because the

344
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 1: city has been breaking the law and they held the

345
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 1: city in contempt from doing that. There has been documented

346
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 1: footage of the city running around taking people with belongings

347
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 1: they needed, eccential things and throwing them in the trash,

348
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 1: even knowing that they have been ruled that they were

349
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 1: not supposed to do that. Now, I wanna ask you

350
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,120
Speaker 1: a question. Let's say, for example, if you had give

351
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,880
Speaker 1: that to a hot person, would you go to jail,

352
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 1: would you be facing legal replications or or would you

353
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:09,680
Speaker 1: get the same support like the police. No, I partly

354
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 1: go to jail. I want to go to jail. They

355
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 1: and they they'll do a sweet and for worms and

356
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:20,159
Speaker 1: stuff like that. And see what happens is that they

357
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,879
Speaker 1: gave me a ticket one time, they said for U

358
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 1: smoking a cigarette right here, and they give it. Well,

359
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 1: well wait, this is outside. It's no, I mean you

360
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 1: you can't smoke a cigarette out of there. They don't

361
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 1: see the sign where see the way way way over there? Way,

362
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:37,240
Speaker 1: you can't even wait where it starts. The street starts

363
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 1: now facing you that way, that's where the signs that.

364
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:44,199
Speaker 1: So well what uh that's just crazy. Yeah. See if

365
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 1: because when these ships come in, when wad the ships

366
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 1: come in? Yeah, they need to clear the streets. So

367
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:53,639
Speaker 1: they give us his tickets then thinking well they're not

368
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 1: gonna pay for it, so it's gonna turn to a warn.

369
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:57,919
Speaker 1: So now uh they get to order to clean us

370
00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 1: off the streets. So now they're going to warrants, you know,

371
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 1: you know, it's a little petty one nothing, you know.

372
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:06,439
Speaker 1: So we're off three or four days, we're out of here,

373
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:07,879
Speaker 1: we're in jail. So when we come back, can we

374
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 1: have nothing left. It's unbelievable. It's unbelievable. And see when

375
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 1: you hit see, this is the kind of stories that

376
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:18,639
Speaker 1: we need to have the mainstream public understand and be

377
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 1: educated on. This is the reality despite what the city

378
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 1: and the mayor and them people lying to you guy,

379
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:27,119
Speaker 1: this is the reality for people that have different experiences,

380
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:29,679
Speaker 1: but they have a similarity in common. They do this everywhere,

381
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 1: all right, right, Yes, they see whatever. They give my

382
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:35,879
Speaker 1: friend a ticket just because you're standing next to a

383
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 1: shopping park standing that sees Yeah, why it's not against

384
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:43,960
Speaker 1: the law to stand next to a shopping cart or

385
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 1: in their working is so you mean to telling me

386
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:49,399
Speaker 1: because you just happen to do that. Don't even make

387
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:51,360
Speaker 1: any sense. It doesn't have to be your shopping cart.

388
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 1: You could just be walking, waiting to the street cross

389
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:55,399
Speaker 1: and minding your business and they just pull up and

390
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:57,399
Speaker 1: say you're under arrest, but you're standing next to a

391
00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:00,200
Speaker 1: shopping cart. Yes, they risk to me. They said, sprow

392
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 1: some with a cigarette. They gave me a year a year,

393
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 1: A year, A year for a cigarette. Yeah, there's so

394
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 1: much cigarette I head your packs part, Oh my, I'm honest. Yeah,

395
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 1: a year for I don't even know what to say

396
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 1: about that. I don't even that's so crazy. They need

397
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 1: to they trying, they're trying to make this look nice,

398
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 1: you know, and they're gonna do anything to get us

399
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,920
Speaker 1: out of there, you know, but they're doing it all wrong. Yeah,

400
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 1: you know, I gotta builitate people, not just throwing it

401
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:37,640
Speaker 1: in a dungeon in a restaurant. And that's not gonna

402
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 1: help them out. You're not going to arrest your way

403
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 1: out of uh, houselessness. You're not gonna arrest your way

404
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,120
Speaker 1: out of people that have subch and usage, your mental

405
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 1: health issues. It's just not gonna happen. It's just causing

406
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 1: more money that we could have been using to build

407
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 1: a sustainable community. But yet we keep making giving more

408
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 1: money to police officers to do the same illegal stuff,

409
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 1: and then there's no kind of accountability along in the city,

410
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 1: the police or or or anybody. We just basically give

411
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:06,919
Speaker 1: them free reign until we until it happens to us.

412
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,359
Speaker 1: So is there anything else would you like to the

413
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:13,159
Speaker 1: audience to know because I'm still I'm still really and

414
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 1: stunned about the fact that you served a year for

415
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 1: a cigarette. I mean, I'm off, that's just your prison

416
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 1: she no prisoner, Yes, no. Uh. Other than that, it's

417
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 1: right here in history is the second ins is the

418
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:37,879
Speaker 1: second most violent street in America. I mean Beacon Street

419
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 1: right here. You look that up. You look that up

420
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 1: in the Why you say violent, the most second second

421
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,119
Speaker 1: in the United States America? And why it's in the

422
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:50,639
Speaker 1: Guinness Book of World Records. Oh my goodness, second the

423
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 1: days or in the earlier times, not now, because it's

424
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:56,880
Speaker 1: so very so why are like that? I don't see

425
00:27:56,920 --> 00:28:00,160
Speaker 1: no violence? And most of the violence was the house

426
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,719
Speaker 1: community anyways, mostly with house people. But again, people attach

427
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 1: criminality with unhow of houselessness as the easy panacea to

428
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:12,440
Speaker 1: be able to justify these kind of crazy responses like

429
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 1: penalizing someone for a year with smoking a cigarette, arresting

430
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 1: someone or standing near a shopping cart that's not even his.

431
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:23,879
Speaker 1: So that's just it's just sad. And this is a

432
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 1: statement on how we are blaming and shaming society. Yeah,

433
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 1: will safe all this person rights up? Yeah, get confidence

434
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 1: to just themselves off from get a job when they're

435
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 1: always going like this, Yes, bringing them down. You can't

436
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 1: do that. Supposed to be a brother up, not too Yeah,

437
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 1: you know, I think that's a well put. This is

438
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 1: we're finger wagging society. We love to finger wag if

439
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 1: we love to blame in shame, and this is a

440
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 1: clear example. This is Theo Henderson from Weedy and House.

441
00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 1: I hope we learned something here in this episode, and

442
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 1: I hope we again meet in the light of understanding.

443
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Unhoused News. Today November twenty four, twenty twenty,

444
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:35,640
Speaker 1: the city will be voting for forty one to eighteen,

445
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 1: the amended version. The original version of forty one to

446
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 1: eighteen was shut down by the court and the legal

447
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 1: system after activists fighting against the cruel and unusual punishment

448
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 1: that forty one to eighteen brings to the unhoused community.

449

Speaker 1: Not to be outdone in an ever has zealous zeal

451
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 1: forty one eighteen amended, and in that they're trying to

452
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 1: find loopholes to create an illusion that they have cared

453
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 1: for the unhoused. But they are also offering criminalization after

454
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 1: numerous protests and backlash from the citizens of Los Angeles

455
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 1: and educated people that are not familiar with forty one eighteen.

Speaker 1: are the primary proponents for up its ordinance. They to

460
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 1: do for all intents and purposes. They are unmoved by

461
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 1: the sentiment and they seem to be moving forward to

462
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:52,600
Speaker 1: voting for forty one eighteen. The city of Reno has

463
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 1: approved this first super shelter for the young Housed. This

464
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 1: is what your season. The first super shelter will meet

465
00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 1: the need to COVID nineteen as well as the provided

466
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 1: services of the Unhouse and Riom. In New York, the

467
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 1: ongoing Nimbia case against the Unhoused has hit a snack.

468
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 1: The judge rule in fide Google that the Nimbia organization

469
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 1: that got together to provide a lawyer and funds for

470
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 1: them to terrorize the Young House have been told that

471
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 1: they are to leave them alone, not to interfere with

472
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 1: their right to shelter in place at the hotel Philadelphia

473
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 1: provides Bacont houses to sixty on house sheltering Rusts and

474
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 1: finally hind Street. Lyndia Downey has stated to the listeners

475
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 1: that the stereotypes against the Young House is prohibiting change

476
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 1: and helping the Young House. She states, if we can't

477
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 1: get behind the stigma that they house are not lesson

478
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 1: than us, then there are human beings, then we will

479
00:31:57,160 --> 00:32:03,520
Speaker 1: never provide effective change. This is theo Henderson from Median

480
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 1: House and this year is an house. Why we're here

481
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:44,320
Speaker 1: on nine hundred street Beacon and we are looking at

482
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 1: another sign that the city resists and defies against the

483
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 1: court order. Again, if she reminds me of the sheriff Villanova,

484
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 1: he has believed, he believes he's above the law. And

485
00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:01,720
Speaker 1: here is an example of that. They are openly flaunting,

486
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:06,080
Speaker 1: like George Wallace, what their a viewpoint on criminalizing their

487
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 1: in house. And here's an example of that. More to follow.

488
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 1: As you can see, they're parked in front of the

489
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 1: encampment here with a flashing light and they were ordered

490
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 1: to remove these signs of company signs by the court order.

491
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,240
Speaker 1: And they were supposed to bring up a notice about

492
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 1: the bulky items request as you can see to date,

493
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 1: they do not. They deliberately use this to weaponize against

494
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 1: the in House, who may not be aware of the

495
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 1: court ruling. And they're gonna take advantage of the color

496
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 1: of their authority to intimidate and harass the in house.

497
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:41,960
Speaker 1: So let's go walk forward down and observe why they're

498
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 1: parked right in front of the encampment. We're still here

499
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:49,400
Speaker 1: in San Pedro, and we are looking at through the

500
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 1: walk we had, which is a pretty long and circular,

501
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 1: and I noticed something, not mentioning the signs, but also

502
00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:00,960
Speaker 1: I noticed something. There are no handwhishing stations. And we

503
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:03,960
Speaker 1: are in the grip of COVID nineteen. We are in

504
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 1: today is what was it September thirtieth and COVID nineteen.

505
00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:12,759
Speaker 1: We had sheltered place from March and this was ample time.

506
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 1: All over the city you showed we have bathrooms for

507
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 1: the unhoused community. We have hand washing stations that are replenished,

508
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 1: and that nowhere here where the cop loving Joe Buscano,

509
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:29,880
Speaker 1: as well as Americ Garcet's offices nearby. There's no bathrooms nowhere.

510
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:35,920
Speaker 1: There are no hand washing stations nowhere. That begs the

511
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:40,280
Speaker 1: question do they believe that once you become a house

512
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:42,000
Speaker 1: that you don't have to go to the bathroom anymore.

513
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:44,840
Speaker 1: That is the question. And if where they have to

514
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:46,920
Speaker 1: go to the bathroom, where do they go to the

515
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,440
Speaker 1: bathroom and how far does it take them to go?

516
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:53,200
Speaker 1: And what happens if I can't help? And remember when

517
00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 1: I had a difficulty when I was on a walker

518
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:57,759
Speaker 1: and injured my leg, Where would I be able to

519
00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 1: go in time to go to the bathroom, particularly if

520
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:03,880
Speaker 1: you take medication that requires you to make frequent trips

521
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:07,320
Speaker 1: to the restaurant. This is THEO Henderson from Woody in House.

522
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 1: I'm learning that there's a lot of i legality, a

523
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:16,319
Speaker 1: lot of cruelty and deliberate defiance of the law here

524
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:22,440
Speaker 1: by supposedly LAPD and former LAPD show Buscagno Deo Henderson

525
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 1: from Woody in House. Again, there is always more to follow.

526
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:29,960
Speaker 1: Left meet again in the light of understanding. So this

527
00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:35,120
Speaker 1: section of the diary discusses how the city gets away

528
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:38,880
Speaker 1: with anything. But this is a very huge landmark decision

529
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:41,200
Speaker 1: that it has been in the history of Los Angeles

530
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:45,319
Speaker 1: and really addressing the criminality of Los Angeles as well

531
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:47,840
Speaker 1: as in legal The city council and the police officers

532
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 1: that people have such a boot licking admiration for the

533
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:58,080
Speaker 1: police are not without fault. They are continually many times

534
00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 1: the aggressor and a lot of the criminals that they

535
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:03,600
Speaker 1: used the color of their authority to get away with.

536
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 1: Case in point, there was a major lossing filed to

537
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:13,760
Speaker 1: hold the city in contempt of court because they failed

538
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:17,680
Speaker 1: to follow the ruling the judge offered and they were

539
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:19,920
Speaker 1: found in the contempt and they were ordered to do

540
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:25,719
Speaker 1: certain things. So this is this special enforcement cleaning zone.

541
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:29,839
Speaker 1: This was ordered by the judge the City of Los

542
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:35,520
Speaker 1: Angeles conducting and hands cleaning and trash removal and compliance

543
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:39,239
Speaker 1: with relevant laws in their zone. No tents should be

544
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:44,840
Speaker 1: erected between six am to nine pm. So this is

545
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:48,000
Speaker 1: a previous episode we talked about. This is an example

546
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:52,560
Speaker 1: of the special enforcement zone. Side no blocking of the sidewalks,

547
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:59,560
Speaker 1: excess interests, driveways or loading docks. What's your property called impounded?

548
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:02,360
Speaker 1: And there's the numbers, and there's the where you retrieve

549
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:05,160
Speaker 1: your ben all the way from San Pedro. You always

550
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:07,560
Speaker 1: have to go all the way downtown on public transportation

551
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:11,000
Speaker 1: to retrieve if you can. But effect of seven August seven,

552
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:14,919
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. The above conditions will apply throughout the post zone.

553
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 1: Health has it Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. No sharp,

554
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 1: no bido hazards, no trash, no explosive materials, comprehensive street

555
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 1: cleaning every Tuesday between eight am and three pm. You'll

556
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 1: see how they're getting trying to get out of it.

557
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:32,840
Speaker 1: We're in comprehensive cleaning. No one will be allowed to

558
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:36,319
Speaker 1: remain on the sidewalk zone boundaries. But they don't show

559
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:38,680
Speaker 1: where the ruling is that they're supposed to do where

560
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:46,560
Speaker 1: they're not to be talking about the the bulky items.

561
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:50,520
Speaker 1: So this was deliberately put up here to also, they

562
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:54,360
Speaker 1: tenditively are following the rules, but they're not following exactly

563
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:56,839
Speaker 1: the order. The order of this says very clearly about

564
00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 1: bulky items, so they didn't put this up here yet.

565
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:04,080
Speaker 1: So what streak does this beacon stressed seven hundreds stop.

566
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:40,480
Speaker 1: This is THEO Henderson from Widia and Howes. We have

567
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:43,840
Speaker 1: a special treat here today. We have a musician and

568
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:46,520
Speaker 1: a resident of a house neighbor here and we're going

569
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:49,400
Speaker 1: to introduce before he plays, what's an answer? Well, my

570
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:53,600
Speaker 1: artist name would be philosophical beasts. Whodini very well filmed,

571
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 1: and they called me Hudi, and I'd be a beast.

572
00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 1: How long have you been playing? Most of my life

573
00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 1: actually started off when I was really really young. I

574
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:03,239
Speaker 1: started off and I did the piano for three years.

575
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:05,239
Speaker 1: And my piano teacher she had a violin and she

576
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:07,000
Speaker 1: told me she had shold me not to touch the thing.

577
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:09,520
Speaker 1: So being a ole kid, I had to the first

Speaker 1: chance I got, I picked it up. I just started

00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:13,560
Speaker 1: playing it and uh, I self taught myself for about

580
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:15,440
Speaker 1: the first three to four months, and then after that,

581
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:17,160

626
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:54,040
Speaker 1: how well? I mean to ask you a question, how

627
00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:56,040
Speaker 1: did you go to school? Uh? Id, I put myself

628
00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:58,239
Speaker 1: in spposed to right, nobody knew. Nobody knew at school

629
00:43:58,239 --> 00:44:00,880
Speaker 1: that was on the streets. No, wow, Yeah, that's impressive.

630
00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:03,720
Speaker 1: No teachers or anything. No, well, I mean I had teachers,

631
00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:06,280
Speaker 1: you have, yes, but none of the teachers and studients,

632
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:14,839
Speaker 1: none of them that was on the streets. No time. Oh, okay, yeah, yeah,

633
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:17,400
Speaker 1: so after you you dropped out? What how old were

634
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:23,400

636
00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:29,839
Speaker 1: fifteen and sixteen maybe? So what was the first thing?

637
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:33,000
Speaker 1: Just a little bit because I got I got held back. Okay,

638
00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:36,120
Speaker 1: so that's understandable because of the challenges. You know, I

639
00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:37,560
Speaker 1: don't know how to get held back into the school.

640
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:44,120
Speaker 1: Oh so so what is the challenges of being on

641
00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:50,560
Speaker 1: the street that you see? Oh yeah, uh challenges? What

642

00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:05,239
Speaker 1: you gotta go down, you go downhill if you go

647
00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:07,080
Speaker 1: to I'm not nows is that you know that that

652
00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:24,080
Speaker 1: I saw that, you know, and I just wanted to

653
00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:25,960
Speaker 1: point this out because a lot of people don't know.

654
00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:30,120
Speaker 1: And I'm going to safest one, particularly due to COVID

655
00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:34,759
Speaker 1: nineteen and the house residents are supposed to have bathrooms

656
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:37,759

657
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:39,920
Speaker 1: what we're supposed to have. You're to have them at

658
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:42,600
Speaker 1: every every most of the majority of the spots when

659
00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:47,080
Speaker 1: they've got these little uh like it's to wash your hands.

661
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:51,600
Speaker 1: just found that out. I mean, and they're supposed to

662
00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:53,319
Speaker 1: do that, so it's not like it's just going out

663
00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:55,000
Speaker 1: of this, you know, the kind of to make it

664
00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:58,279

665
00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:00,800

666
00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:03,960
Speaker 1: concrastructure people. And then two here's another thing that they

667
00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:07,359
Speaker 1: they haven't told you last uh. The city has been

668
00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:10,400

669
00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:13,279
Speaker 1: to take your bulky items. But this is the thing.

670
00:46:13,600 --> 00:46:16,280
Speaker 1: They've been doing it anyway, and they were held in contempt.

671
00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:20,520
Speaker 1: They're supposed to have signs to sing and essence my miakopa. Well,

672
00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:22,680

673
00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:24,800
Speaker 1: won't do that anymore. But they don't have it in

674
00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:26,640
Speaker 1: here and this this, I don't even see any of them,

675
00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:29,320
Speaker 1: you know, So that's messed up. That that is pretty

676
00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:31,840
Speaker 1: messed up. So uh so they're taking people things and

677
00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:34,600
Speaker 1: they're aren't even knowing it. At thirteen, basically I I went.

678
00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:36,480
Speaker 1: I basically did it. I went. It was started off

679
00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:39,200

00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:42,680
Speaker 1: myself and stuff. And you were on the age cause

682
00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:44,920
Speaker 1: you know it couldn't work. I didn't get a job

683
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:48,400
Speaker 1: right right, you know, you know at thirteen, and eventually,

684
00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:50,560
Speaker 1: uh I I found this and listen to get my

685
00:46:50,640 --> 00:46:53,080

00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:45,960
Speaker 1: and now the jobs are gone and they are on

764
00:50:46,080 --> 00:50:50,160
Speaker 1: the street. What did you do before? Or you can

765
00:50:50,200 --> 00:50:58,399
Speaker 1: say it just stood somehow and closes. Oh okay, really,

766
00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:02,200
Speaker 1: oh that's cool. That's what you know. I understand. You know,

767
00:51:02,440 --> 00:51:04,719
Speaker 1: I'm still getting to know each other. That's right. And

768
00:51:04,760 --> 00:51:07,879
Speaker 1: it's never been very very have a very strong connection. Yes,

769
00:51:08,080 --> 00:51:11,920
Speaker 1: it's obvious to that. So uh so you like helping

770
00:51:11,960 --> 00:51:16,319
Speaker 1: people and you like creating art to to imbtter the world.

771
00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:19,480
Speaker 1: So that's a good connection. So one of the things is,

772
00:51:21,000 --> 00:51:23,759
Speaker 1: have you guys faced any type of a brutal or

773
00:51:24,120 --> 00:51:26,560
Speaker 1: sweet story? Have you had any police and drums? We've

774
00:51:26,600 --> 00:51:29,200
Speaker 1: I've actually been really really lucky just because if I

775
00:51:29,239 --> 00:51:31,400
Speaker 1: got the RV, so I'm able to put everything inside

776
00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:33,480
Speaker 1: my see, so I don't have to worry about it.

777
00:51:33,719 --> 00:51:36,719
Speaker 1: But some places like chance Worth, they don't he a

778
00:51:36,760 --> 00:51:40,239
Speaker 1: lot of times. Basically if people are woke up late

779
00:51:40,320 --> 00:51:41,640
Speaker 1: or stuff like that, I try to help out and

780
00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:43,399
Speaker 1: let them keep someone living the stuff that they can't

781
00:51:43,600 --> 00:51:45,840
Speaker 1: get down to the bottom of the hell to to

782
00:51:45,960 --> 00:51:49,640
Speaker 1: keep it in theirhood, which somewhat coused me publish too.

783
00:51:49,719 --> 00:51:53,479
Speaker 1: But sometimes but what problems that basically having every stuff

784
00:51:53,520 --> 00:51:56,440
Speaker 1: up here? Oh yeah, my RV doesn't walk okay, and

785
00:51:56,800 --> 00:51:58,880
Speaker 1: we said west couple of people who were staying here

786
00:51:58,920 --> 00:52:01,759
Speaker 1: before then we're still and stuff. Okay, yeah, it was

787
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:03,560
Speaker 1: I had to go through that gay stuff to make

788
00:52:03,600 --> 00:52:06,520
Speaker 1: sure that Nobodosa stuff is missing. But you know it's

789
00:52:07,360 --> 00:52:09,680
Speaker 1: right now. It's been better with that because I tho

790
00:52:09,719 --> 00:52:11,359
Speaker 1: it's not a certain group sort of just took off.

791
00:52:11,719 --> 00:52:16,200
Speaker 1: But yeah, okay, so you got a fortunate, uh unfortunate

792
00:52:16,320 --> 00:52:17,960
Speaker 1: skill that you go on and you have a talent

793
00:52:18,080 --> 00:52:20,520
Speaker 1: with the uh violin too. You gotta spot the year.

794
00:52:21,840 --> 00:52:25,160
Speaker 1: What's because you have been here since you were thirteen

795
00:52:25,239 --> 00:52:28,320
Speaker 1: years old? Uh Long Beach uh Sant Pedro. I've been U.

796
00:52:28,440 --> 00:52:30,400
Speaker 1: I was born and raised in Long Beach in San Pedro.

797
00:52:30,560 --> 00:52:32,760
Speaker 1: Basically I've been coming in and out of San Pedro

798
00:52:32,920 --> 00:52:34,640
Speaker 1: for a while because I've been for a while I've

799
00:52:34,640 --> 00:52:38,400
Speaker 1: been playing with my my win for almost say, you know,

00:52:42,080 --> 00:52:45,400
Speaker 1: La County, Long Beach, San Pedro over. But basically I

802
00:52:45,440 --> 00:52:46,960
Speaker 1: went out to Kansas for opening there. I was out

803
00:52:46,960 --> 00:52:49,319
Speaker 1: there for eight nine months just recently and then, uh,

804
00:52:49,880 --> 00:52:51,680

Speaker 1: to stay out in lam Beach where my moms had

806
00:52:53,640 --> 00:52:56,279
Speaker 1: moved here to San Pedro. So I decided to come

00:52:56,280 --> 00:52:58,640
Speaker 1: out here to be able to get at my mom's

808
00:52:58,680 --> 00:53:01,719
Speaker 1: this shit, uh I said. And I like seeing people.

809
00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:04,240
Speaker 1: I deal with it. It's it's it's beautiful. It's definitely

810
00:53:04,360 --> 00:53:07,399
Speaker 1: you can see the people listen a little bit better

811
00:53:07,480 --> 00:53:12,080

812
00:53:12,120 --> 00:53:14,440
Speaker 1: hearing it. What's your say that the mascot out there

813
00:53:14,640 --> 00:53:19,719
Speaker 1: is the longing story backs somewhere. I have no doubt

814
00:53:19,960 --> 00:53:22,440
Speaker 1: it's probably some of the people. And that's the thing

815
00:53:22,480 --> 00:53:24,440
Speaker 1: about it is I do got luck with my season.

816
00:53:25,200 --> 00:53:27,880

818
00:53:31,200 --> 00:53:33,440
Speaker 1: definitely it's a love of relationship. Though I love the

819
00:53:33,480 --> 00:53:35,879
Speaker 1: city it's not so much to people bust of them,

820
00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:38,759
Speaker 1: you understand. That's because for a long time though I

821
00:53:39,320 --> 00:53:41,480
Speaker 1: took care of the homeless group out there. It's the

822
00:53:41,520 --> 00:53:45,200
Speaker 1: mainly it's the homeless out there that are different type

823
00:53:45,200 --> 00:53:49,719
Speaker 1: of Okay, well what on that note, we can ask

824
00:53:50,120 --> 00:53:53,920
Speaker 1: the good and he's gonna take us out with some

825
00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:58,600
Speaker 1: beautiful music. Do hit it? Okay? So this is this

826
00:53:58,760 --> 00:54:01,600
Speaker 1: piece I just can trigger. Did actually just coup there

827
00:54:01,600 --> 00:54:03,640
Speaker 1: and go for within a fee for a few days

828
00:54:04,640 --> 00:54:08,320
Speaker 1: and that's it's from my my love here. Oh okay,

829
00:54:08,400 --> 00:54:11,400
Speaker 1: well that's what better. Yeah, it's called just so you know. Okay,

830
00:54:11,560 --> 00:56:11,520
Speaker 1: so hit it the game. It's a little nervous, that's

831
00:56:11,520 --> 00:56:15,040
Speaker 1: all right, thank you again. In a way of basically

832
00:56:15,760 --> 00:56:17,960
Speaker 1: guess getting me out there a little bit more. My

833
00:56:18,120 --> 00:56:20,879
Speaker 1: dream for my violin music and everything was I want

834
00:56:20,880 --> 00:56:23,040
Speaker 1: to basically violent up stup rapists what I want to do.

835
00:56:23,080 --> 00:56:24,520
Speaker 1: And when I get to that stage and I get

836
00:56:24,560 --> 00:56:26,960
Speaker 1: because I know I'm going to you know, there's there's

837
00:56:26,960 --> 00:56:28,880
Speaker 1: another person that's working, don't different like I know, and

838
00:56:29,040 --> 00:56:34,120
Speaker 1: I see it. I see the money that I don't

839
00:56:34,360 --> 00:56:36,839
Speaker 1: me as truth, I don't care about me. It comes

840
00:56:36,920 --> 00:56:39,359
Speaker 1: and goes there's there's it's gonna come. It's gonna come,

841
00:56:39,400 --> 00:56:41,279
Speaker 1: you know, And there's always a way to make money,

842
00:56:41,400 --> 00:56:43,400
Speaker 1: you know. It depends on what you're willing to do

843
00:56:43,480 --> 00:56:45,040
Speaker 1: and how fast you wanted and you know how much

844
00:56:45,080 --> 00:56:47,799
Speaker 1: you know. But the thing is that basically the money

845
00:56:47,800 --> 00:56:49,840
Speaker 1: I want to use to a basis to really do

846
00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:53,080
Speaker 1: something for to help build outher people up to because

847
00:56:53,080 --> 00:56:54,680
Speaker 1: there's not not none of people in the world these

848
00:56:54,760 --> 00:56:56,920
Speaker 1: days are doing that, and it's it's nobody. It seems

849
00:56:56,920 --> 00:56:58,200
Speaker 1: like you're just trying to turn each other down and

850
00:56:58,440 --> 00:56:59,960
Speaker 1: not build each other up. And when when if you

851
00:57:00,080 --> 00:57:02,160
Speaker 1: we just built each other up, just anything can be better.

852
00:57:02,640 --> 00:57:05,160
Speaker 1: I wanted to help find some way to build some

853
00:57:05,280 --> 00:57:08,680
Speaker 1: people up, okay, and I have. I've around my journey

854
00:57:09,280 --> 00:57:11,760
Speaker 1: in life, I've come across lots of homeless people. Lots

855
00:57:11,760 --> 00:57:13,920
Speaker 1: of the day. I have basically positions in what I

856
00:57:13,960 --> 00:57:16,560
Speaker 1: would call my building in an empire now in my

857
00:57:16,760 --> 00:57:19,120
Speaker 1: music life, I have where as soon as I get

858
00:57:19,120 --> 00:57:20,720
Speaker 1: to that point, I can clean them up with me.

859
00:57:21,400 --> 00:57:23,200
Speaker 1: Thank you very much. I'm doing the same thing. I

860
00:57:23,280 --> 00:57:25,720
Speaker 1: do believe in that same thing. Thank you all. This

861
00:57:25,840 --> 00:57:29,520
Speaker 1: is THEO Henderson from William House and I hope we

862
00:57:29,680 --> 00:57:32,080
Speaker 1: all have learned something and we again meet in the

863
00:57:32,120 --> 00:58:18,800
Speaker 1: light of understanding. This is Median House, CEO Henderson. We

864
00:58:19,160 --> 00:58:22,160
Speaker 1: are here right on a county shelter that are both

865
00:58:22,200 --> 00:58:26,360
Speaker 1: supposedly has a sign here that says no trespassing no

866
00:58:26,520 --> 00:58:29,720
Speaker 1: Lloyd rand forbidden by law up to a thousand dollars

867
00:58:29,760 --> 00:58:32,560
Speaker 1: fine or six months in prison or both California Pino

868
00:58:32,640 --> 00:58:36,800
Speaker 1: Code sections. I don't know. It's through five five eight

869
00:58:36,880 --> 00:58:39,200
Speaker 1: one to six O two. So we here. We have

870
00:58:39,320 --> 00:58:41,200
Speaker 1: a little bit of the history here, and I'm going

871
00:58:41,280 --> 00:58:44,880
Speaker 1: to talk to one of the newspaper journalists and creators

872
00:58:45,720 --> 00:58:48,000
Speaker 1: to get his perspective on what's been going on here.

873
00:58:48,240 --> 00:58:51,720
Speaker 1: So what's going on? My My name is Chris Benn

874
00:58:51,760 --> 00:58:54,280
Speaker 1: and I'm part of Services not Sweets. We have an

875
00:58:54,480 --> 00:58:58,200
Speaker 1: organization in San Pedro called San Pedro Neighbors for Peace

876
00:58:58,280 --> 00:59:05,440
Speaker 1: and Justice, which is we've been monitoring the comprehensive cleanup

877
00:59:05,520 --> 00:59:09,440
Speaker 1: which happens every week. So this is a county facility

878
00:59:10,160 --> 00:59:13,880
Speaker 1: and THEO wanted me to mention some of their history.

879
00:59:14,600 --> 00:59:21,640
Speaker 1: It was opened just three months ago, and the building

880
00:59:22,320 --> 00:59:26,440
Speaker 1: used to be a county health facility and it had

881
00:59:26,480 --> 00:59:31,160
Speaker 1: been vacant and unused for at least five years. And

882
00:59:32,480 --> 00:59:36,480
Speaker 1: Jenishn a member of the Board of supervisors, and the

883
00:59:36,560 --> 00:59:41,640
Speaker 1: Board of Supervisors saw this empty building, understood the crisis

884
00:59:41,800 --> 00:59:46,200
Speaker 1: of housing, and it took them three and a half

885
00:59:46,520 --> 00:59:49,840
Speaker 1: months to open it up, a very very short time,

886
00:59:50,680 --> 00:59:57,720
Speaker 1: and I believe it houses forty seven people and so

887
00:59:58,680 --> 01:00:03,000
Speaker 1: it's an important source for the community. My understanding, too,

888
01:00:03,320 --> 01:00:07,400
Speaker 1: is from the Andrea and some of the other individuals

889
01:00:07,800 --> 01:00:10,800
Speaker 1: that is very hostile here because of the staff are

890
01:00:10,840 --> 01:00:15,040
Speaker 1: not necessarily sensitive to the needs of unhoused community. You

891
01:00:15,120 --> 01:00:19,240
Speaker 1: have any as perspective on that. We've a number of

892
01:00:20,560 --> 01:00:25,480
Speaker 1: residents of the unhoused residents of the community have talked

893
01:00:25,480 --> 01:00:30,720
Speaker 1: about staying here and just commented that they were unable

894
01:00:30,840 --> 01:00:37,120
Speaker 1: to because of kind of uninformed actions of the staff

895
01:00:37,720 --> 01:00:41,960
Speaker 1: and it just made them very uncomfortable dealing with the

896
01:00:42,200 --> 01:00:47,240
Speaker 1: lack of conflict resolution. That's very well put exactly. And

897
01:00:47,920 --> 01:00:50,360
Speaker 1: for the ones that always ask why they don't want help,

898
01:00:50,560 --> 01:00:52,960
Speaker 1: do you think that that contributes to why people are

899
01:00:53,000 --> 01:00:58,919
Speaker 1: reluctant to go to shelters. Absolutely. There's a Bridge Home

900
01:00:59,040 --> 01:01:05,080
Speaker 1: shelter on fifteen ten North Beacons, so about ten blocks

901
01:01:06,560 --> 01:01:11,640
Speaker 1: south of US and north of us, and individuals have

902
01:01:11,800 --> 01:01:14,880
Speaker 1: commented that at this Bridge Home shelter in San Pedro,

903
01:01:15,120 --> 01:01:17,920
Speaker 1: and I imagine at others as well, you have to

904
01:01:18,000 --> 01:01:21,800
Speaker 1: be at the shelter at seven pm every night, and

905
01:01:22,040 --> 01:01:26,520
Speaker 1: that's individuals in the community have said it's almost like

906
01:01:26,640 --> 01:01:29,960
Speaker 1: being in prison. I have a quick personal question, if

907
01:01:29,960 --> 01:01:34,360
Speaker 1: you don't mind, let's say example, through unfortunate circumstances and

908
01:01:34,560 --> 01:01:37,200
Speaker 1: that you find yourself houseless, would you be eager to

909
01:01:37,280 --> 01:01:42,600
Speaker 1: go to these places? No? I wouldn't. Why not? Well,

910
01:01:44,360 --> 01:01:49,400
Speaker 1: from our experience, Hillary and I and Stephanie, which we

911
01:01:49,960 --> 01:01:54,160
Speaker 1: are here for the comprehensive cleanups, is that. I mean,

912
01:01:54,240 --> 01:01:59,240
Speaker 1: there are problems, but this community is a very cohesive,

913
01:02:00,080 --> 01:02:04,360
Speaker 1: coortive community where people look out for each other and

914
01:02:05,960 --> 01:02:10,040
Speaker 1: keep an eye on each other's tense and socialize and

915
01:02:10,600 --> 01:02:17,000
Speaker 1: share stories and resources. So I hope I never have

916
01:02:17,160 --> 01:02:21,240
Speaker 1: to experience the situation of being unhoused. Thank you very

917
01:02:21,320 --> 01:02:23,959
Speaker 1: much for your time. This is Steo Henderson from William House.

918
01:02:24,040 --> 01:02:26,880
Speaker 1: We're just on a just an expos a tour to

919
01:02:26,960 --> 01:02:29,800
Speaker 1: see just what the reality is despite what the City

920
01:02:29,880 --> 01:02:32,600
Speaker 1: Hall has been painting. The picture too well healed on

921
01:02:32,720 --> 01:02:35,040
Speaker 1: moneyed people or are the ones that have a disdain

922
01:02:35,120 --> 01:02:37,880
Speaker 1: for the young housed. We need to show the truth

923
01:02:37,920 --> 01:02:40,560
Speaker 1: to the reality of this again with it's almost ninety

924
01:02:40,560 --> 01:02:43,120
Speaker 1: seven degrees and there's not a bathroom in sight, and

925
01:02:43,240 --> 01:02:45,520
Speaker 1: there's nowhere where I can wash my hands, and there's

926
01:02:45,560 --> 01:02:48,800
Speaker 1: nowhere for me. If that's not nowhere for me, imagine

927
01:02:48,800 --> 01:02:51,000
Speaker 1: what it is like for the young housed or the

928
01:02:51,080 --> 01:03:13,960
Speaker 1: follow good evening. This week has been very tumultuous. This

929
01:03:14,120 --> 01:03:19,640
Speaker 1: has been filled with interpretation, anger, outrage, and education. San

930
01:03:19,720 --> 01:03:23,000
Speaker 1: Pedro is just a small slot sliver of what is

931
01:03:23,040 --> 01:03:27,480
Speaker 1: going on in Los Angeles, California. Jopascanio's district offers a

932
01:03:27,560 --> 01:03:30,520
Speaker 1: hostility that he tries to effect with the rest of

933
01:03:30,600 --> 01:03:34,720
Speaker 1: the city by trying to push through the city council

934
01:03:34,880 --> 01:03:38,320
Speaker 1: forty one eighteen and forty one eighteen is one of

935
01:03:38,400 --> 01:03:44,840
Speaker 1: the most horrible written pieces to justify criminalizing vulnerable people

936
01:03:45,440 --> 01:03:51,000
Speaker 1: while they're already in a frantic and stressful state. If

937
01:03:51,080 --> 01:03:54,080
Speaker 1: you are dissatisfied with forty one to eighteen and appalled

938
01:03:54,120 --> 01:03:57,760
Speaker 1: as we are, you're to call your council members November

939
01:03:57,840 --> 01:04:01,160
Speaker 1: twenty four and make it known that you are against

940
01:04:01,240 --> 01:04:05,920
Speaker 1: this horrific holocaust type of practice. This is THEO Henderson

941
01:04:05,960 --> 01:04:08,280
Speaker 1: for Wei and Howes, and I am trying to think

942
01:04:08,360 --> 01:04:11,000
Speaker 1: of a quote that we'll be able to bring us together.

943
01:04:11,160 --> 01:04:14,320
Speaker 1: So I will leave you with this thought. Sometimes when

944
01:04:14,360 --> 01:04:17,800
Speaker 1: we meet in a light of understanding, we have walls

945
01:04:17,880 --> 01:04:21,680
Speaker 1: that are put up by ignorance and fear. Let us

946
01:04:21,760 --> 01:04:24,360
Speaker 1: not take the example of our city council members and

947
01:04:24,480 --> 01:04:27,040
Speaker 1: allow that to continue. Let us meet in a light

948
01:04:27,080 --> 01:04:30,800
Speaker 1: of understanding, with the hope that we understand each other

949
01:04:31,160 --> 01:04:34,760
Speaker 1: and we work together to get this issue being unhoused

950
01:04:34,760 --> 01:04:38,800
Speaker 1: and houseless assault in our lifetime. Let's leave the world

951
01:04:38,880 --> 01:05:57,360
Speaker 1: a better place. It's it's it's
