An elderly man stumbles around searching for his meth during a weekly cleaning by the Venice Pier. An outreach worker asks if he wants any services and he replies “yeah, meth.”

If this man refuses shelter and treatment for addiction, he needs to be removed for the safety of the community. Meth addicts are extremely dangerous to have at our beaches, which are populated by kids and tourists.

The time and resources that are being spent as several workers stand around observing this individual—absurd. He should be arrested and placed in mandatory treatment. Stop allowing the inmates to run the asylum.

He just needs a free apartment and then he’ll seek out the services on his own!

The real crime here is his vote being stolen in the next election. This is how ballots are pre harvested before elections are set and votes take an extra month to count.

She asked us if we had any meth too.

Why are they talking to him like a child? The performative altruism here is sickening.

I’m happy it’s getting addressed at all. If there were an injunction stopping clean ups (like they currently have in SF) Venice would get FFFffff&$k’d. Things are not ideal but why not let these people do thier work sometimes without undermining them at every turn.

As we watch them kill themselves.

Wow 😵‍💫😵‍💫

Reintroduce corporal punishment. Those workers, or ambassadors, or diplomats or whatever you call them are useless. A good caning would do.
