>To try to say homeless people are commit financial violence by not having homes is something that I'm not going to entertain. I'm not saying that. I am saying that because the guy would refuse to leave and would physically block people from coming into the store. I don't think you actually read any of the CBS article I linked given the insane assumptions you are immediately making that this person who you have never met is instantly in the wrong, with some of those assumptions being very obviously shown wrong in the article. And on what grounds would you sue the police? That they aren't doing enough? Police do not legally have an obligation to protect anyone, or do anything for that matter. Also good luck suing the police when you have no money because you literally cannot get someone who is caring away customers to leave.

> I'm not saying that. I am saying that because the guy would refuse to leave and would physically block people from coming into the store. The headline images shows the homeless person sitting beside a trashcan and a tree. That's blocking the door? > I don't think you actually read any of the CBS article I linked given the insane assumptions you are immediately making that this person who you have never met is instantly in the wrong, with some of those assumptions being very obviously shown wrong in the article. Please tell me what I've gotten wrong as outlined in the article, and also the insane assumption I have made. < And on what grounds would you sue the police? That they aren't doing enough?

  I'm starting to wonder if you even read my comment. So let me just repeat for you: >Gwin has lived in San Francisco for 45 years. He said this confrontation was the result of multiple attempts to get the woman help, after he spent days cleaning up her mess and letting her sleep in his doorway. He added that she often knocks over trash cans, and her behavior has scared off his clients. >Gwin said he and other business owners in the area have called SFPD and social services more than two dozen times in the last two weeks. This person had: - frequently made messes (i'm guessing defecating) outside of the business - slept in the doorway of the business - knocks over trash cans - scares off clients - had the cops and social services called on them multiple times with absolutely no action

    I did. I reiterate my first comment again (which you responded to): all of that can be true, he still has no justification for spraying anyone with water. He needs to take it up with the city. I'll also reiterate my second comment that you responded to: He needs to sue the city. That list is no justification for assault.
