How the Homeless are Being Screwed
Well, as some of you know for the past 2 or so months I have been
homeless\Houseless\A Bum\etc.... I was living in a field that some of the
other homeless folks in the area called "the Homeless Camp." Actuall it
was a large open field. We were living, and sleeping, in the bushes behind
the trees.
Next thing I have to tell you is what area I am in. I live in southern
California, Huntington Beach, to be exact. The homeless population in this
area consists of about 50 to 100 people, Over 45% of these people were
living in our "Camp."
In the behining of March, Huntington Beach Police Department began to
go back to camp and hassle the "tenants." The wonderful treatment they
gave us consisted of unjust searches, Confiscation of ANYTHING that could
be considered a weapon, and things that one would steal. This type of
treatment is a regular thing.
Well, the end of March came around. Caltrans (California Transit
Authority) Came in and told us we all had 15 minutes to get our stuff and
get out. They also told us if we weren't out by this time we would be
arrested for trespassing. about five minutes after they had told us this
anyone inside camp had guns pulled on them, By the police dept. Almost all
of our Clothing, Personal possesions, etc... was left behind. That day
they put all of our stuff into a pile and threw it into a large dumpster.
A notice was posted "anyone caught inside the premises will be prosicuted."
This is what happened, I was there. I didn't write this for any reason
other than to inform people of this incident. I don't want people to feel
sorry for me, no sympathy bullshit. I am almost off of the streets, as for
the rest of the "campers", I don't know. If you really wish to know, you
can E-mail me over the internet. thank you for reading this
