-Caveat Lector-
In San Francisco last year, in November, Mayor Willie Brown came under heated
media pressure when an editorial was published in the Chronicle detailing one
person's issue with the houseless in Golden Gate Park. Firstly, it's too bad
that the mass mindset is such that when one becomes houseless one is filled
with such shame that one feels the need to hide. Would you rather hide behind
a dumpster in an alley or in some beautiful trees.
Secondly, the editorial that I've mentioned spoke of someone's fear that they
would be walking through the park and come across a needle or 'bump into some
hooker.' This is obviously someone who has spend little time there. At this
period of time, I was involved in a project that provided a daily meal to
about two hundred houseless people per day and spent a good deal of time in
the park DAILY. Never once did I ever see a hypodermic needle there, though
addiction was rampant(maybe even a junkie has the consideration that many
industrial polluters do not). As well, if you were a prostitute looking for a
quick buck, the last place you are going to look for it is Golden Gate Park.
The fact that the editorial seems to been more of a narration of someone's
paranoid nightmare was lost and never addressed in the media. To save his
public image with those who suck their reality from the media nipple, he had
to act. If what Clinton has done warrants impeachment, then what ensued
warrants sending Brown to the guillotine.
For the following two weeks hundreds of houseless folks, if not thousands,
were accosted by police , usually for doing nothing more than sitting in the
park, and were manhandled, abused, and STOLEN FROM BY OUR 'PEACE OFFICERS!'
Literally hundreds of houseless people with enough problems already wound up
with NO BLANKETS. I personally witnessed dozens of occasions of houseless
people having what little they owned STOLEN by police(Golf&Martinez for
instance), thrown into the trunks of publicly funded vehicles and carted off.
These folks were left with little option and if I had been in their shoes I
would have felt entirely justified stealing blankets from a household(if not
slugging one of these pigs); those were chilly nights. Ethics such as 'thou
shalt not steal' go right out the window when in a survival situation, as do
many other ethics - ask any Vietnam veteran.
What better scapegoat for society's ills than the defenseless.
This shit goes on all over the country.
