If you don’t want to live like the rest of society then don’t, but don’t be trash for the community. Where the hell did they get furniture?!?
I run and ride my horses in the desert for the past 10 years now and there is a true homeless man that lives out there. He moves his tent with the weather and he cleans up the garbage that other people dump out there. He lives with nature and never asks anything of the people that cross his path.
These people aren’t homeless they are LAZY.
Well said and addicted. They are just entity!
Exactly! I was homeless twice and I always did what I needed to do to stay clean. People didn't even know I was homeless unless I told them. These people are rude aholes that have let themselves go
Why do you hate America's Veterans? Did you even bother to watch this report?
No. You just came here to spout your nonsense, otherwise you would have seen that the LASD is helping the homeless and they got a Navy Vet to accept finding treatment for his horrible medical conditions at the Veterans Hospital.
Maybe you think anyone who put on the uniform and then suffered PTSD is lazy? If so you should leave America.
No offense, but I’m pretty sure a vast majority are not homeless by choice.
@@mopes2713 I think the term VAST MAJORITY is a little much. They have offered a lot of them shelter accommodation and they mostly refuse it.
Mr. Bonin and the city failed miserably, now it’s the Sheriffs turn.
Sheriff Alex Villanueva...........WE LOVE YOU
The man is homeless and smokes cigarettes but he complains about a lack of oxygen.
He’ll be complaining a lot more once his lungs start filling with fluids and mucus from COPD if he has no healthcare. Every breath becomes a gasp for air, until he drowns really really really slowly. I’ve seen quarts of fluid being withdrawn daily from COPD patients lungs during their final days. And that’s WITH proper healthcare, I’d rather take a bullet to the head, it’s that horrific. He smoked for 8 years, he can quit, first couple of weeks are the worst I believe. I smoked for 15 years and quit New Years Day 2000.
Imagine they get to the VA hospital and find out he’s really not a veteran.
😂😂😂
Not only that but many veterans are not in the system.
@Iosef Kleznakov it’s true, many veterans had different names or go by different names, move, wrong dob. I’ve encountered this. If you call the VA they’ll confirm via name and last 4 digits of SS but that person may have a different dob on file than the current one doesn’t mean they aren’t the person but wrong info. The same with insurance, wrong dob or name spelling occurs
Or a dishonorably discharged veteran. That's a darn shame.
@Iosef Kleznakov that sounds like a personal story. Being a vet and working in the VA are two different things hun
Jack says he’s addicted to tobacco ? So that means you have to live on the Strand ?
Addicts are compulsive liars. Let's get real they had to be good liars to continue to live this way even before addiction finally rendered them jobless and homeless. According to LAHSA, the vast majority of homeless are from LA but if you live here and deal with these guys sleeping in cars with out of state, expired plates with dialects, accents and slang from different parts of the country or even another on, you know that's BULLSHIT.
Ask them where they were born or grew up, they would tell you a tall tale about how they are locals and knew all these famous people, how they used to be a dr or lawyer or a vet (lots of stolen valor) just to get some brownie points. Nobody wants to accept the fact that its mainly strung out addicts that come here for this homeless strung out slacker lifestyle.
He is addicted to fentanyl.
He’s trolling. He’s basically saying I’m gonna wait it out here til I’m dead, and it could take a while..
@@jonas000111 not all homeless , some have jobs but just can’t afford a home . Stop grouping everyone together.
@@MajinMist603 very minor number of homeless have jobs. Very minor. Vast majority of street homeless are fentanyl addicts, and mist of them will die from overdose or drug related health issues, in several years.
I am sorry homeless people. But u guys need to move out. We want Venice beach clean
Remember what The mayor of LA said to the court? "Stay out of our business" well the sheriff is doing something that coward isn't doing.
It's CA and the VOTERS LOVE having the homeless on the streets. That's why they VOTE the same people back into office over and over and over again. I say. let's import more homeless from all over the country into CA. They love them as much as they LOVE illegal immigrants. The Sheriff should NOT be doing anything about it. It's what the VOTERS want.
@@trvman1 I disagree. If the "Mayor" is unable to perform, the sheriff should take over. Notice how things are being done and he has the power. Hell, I'd vote for him again if he ran for Mayor.
Sorry, Sheriff should do what the Mayor and VOTERS want. That's the streets covered with tents and the homeless. Let them be and keep the VOTERS happy.
@@trvman1 Mayor is trash. That's why the Sheriff is doing something.
@@trvman1 "But conservatives/Republicans bad" it ain't much better up here in the S.F Bay Area.
Why is the city responsible for providing housing? If you cant afford it leave the city
“Maybe think about moving out”? Bottom line the homeless don’t want to leave the streets! That’s the problem!
Exactly. Why leave beachfront property and stay addicted and get free food? It's heaven for a strung out slacker
It’s called persuading them to leave the streets
@@jonas000111 that’s what I’m say’in! ....I’m just not spending time explaining but thanks cus you are
@Waldo Today when I was digging around the bush for edibles I found a homeless camp so next time I go there I'll have to take a knife and if any of those bums try anything I'll show you how we do it. Up close and personal, man to man.
Sheriff Alex Villanueva...........WE LOVE YOU
I definitely cannot afford beach front property. I'm thinking about renting out my home and living on the beach. I love listening to the ocean.
I hear you my man BRILLIANT!!!
Bonin doesn't want his dough be taken somewhere else. That's why he wants to keep them homeless in Venice.

Bonin p.o.s worse crook in L.A
Yeah you know he's getting a kickback somewhere
Jack: im addicted and its killing me but it takes a long time to die so I figured I'd just camp here til I die.
😂😂😂😂😂
@@grazutissmith9647 I don't think it was meant to be funny psycho.
he's been smoking longer than 8 years...for sure...He's got that smokers mouth...
@@spignetti oh geez I've been addicted to cigarettes 45 year's. I don't at all feel sorry for Jack, and he's lieing like a rug, and he's got more going on then just tobacco😏
@@jayp1166 OOPS!!!
Bonin is a joke who doesn’t like public criticism. This is a scam where available funding is squandered by the city. Get a grip.
How rude is that to interview a person who's giving an emotional statement and they pan away mid sentence.
First world problems🙄
They should give them this option: Get shelter or we're moving to the desert. Period!
Move them to the deserts? Really? Why not just execute them on the spot? Death for being poor.
@@krane15 people in in the deserts.
@@Scorpio.Iamher. Move them to the desert they can build humpys out of corrugated iron
you understand people get raped in the mouth and the boots stolen off your feet in a homeless shelter, right?
@@internetsurferxxx2678 Then those people shouldn't be put in homeless shelters, they should be put in jail.
Bonin took the time to show how offended he is vs. actually thanking the sheriff for his effort
What effort? Criminalizing being poor? The government put people out of business. Not the homeless.
Bonin is literally trying to get okay and funding for multiple beach camps just like it. He has zero intention of handling this glorious cash cow that gives him massive funding and power. He wants tens of thousands more homeless to show up and take over the beaches, asap.
Fire Bonin. He did nothing to help resolve the issue the sheriff's ass is on the line and he is doing something positive. Bonine is clearly not a Team player looking out for his public. Just dividing it and tweeting safely from his office doing nothing.
One leaving only opens up a spot for someone else to move in.... What people don't realize is many of these homeless CHOOSE to be homeless because you're not allowed to do drugs in free housing.
hundreds of billions of tax revenue, and this is what we have to show for it. Maybe we should raise taxes, so that a lot more of nothing gets done.
Thank you officers. I’m so relieved to see people get help. Especially our vets!
The Notorious GIV right in the first clip
Give the homless a broom, shovel. They need to work cleaning.
They cut the officer off lmfao 🤣
Rude.
Bonin too busy tweeting instead of getting to work
Mike Boning, typical politician. Drawing huge paycheck while sitting on his hands.
You realize that is intentional, right? Creating problems with one hand, pretending to solve them with the other. It is pure theater to them, and we eat it up.
Mike Bonin is no position to criticize the Sheriff for stepping in and taking action. Bonin has had his chance to do something and failed. It’s long overdue for him to step down.
The sheriff can solve homelessness. When will you people get that through your heads.
A VET should never be on the street
Never…
The city of LA sucks
They made this all happen
I can’t agree enough, but there are some vets who want to be homeless unfortunately.
Government loves to send soldiers to fight but hate when they come back alive and asking for help.
@@theturtle8869 True
There are several programs for vets.
Once obsolete or damaged from their dedicated service their discarded like refuse... Don't they deserve much much better and to be honored...¿☆☆☆
make venice great again lol
Make Venice free of fake homeless activists using the homeless as foot soldiers to appropriate public land one tent and one lawsuit against the city and the police at a time.
@@picilocarnal if the activists actually cared for them they'd try to get them in shelters !!
Any political issue should be put aside. Thanks a milllion LASD under the leadership of Sheriff Villanueva.
They're not even from California they all come from everywhere else these are not the same homeless Venice people from before
That's great that the sheriff stepped up and are out doing one of the other parts of the job.
come July 1, there will be more people on the streets.
This is drugs not homelessness
End of forbearance and grace periods for sure here comes the second gen of refined unhoused... ¡☆☆☆
Yep!
My prediction...
The Sheriff will run for Mayor next year.
The officers story got outshined by a lazy homeless man. 🤣
there gonna be homeless camps but dont let them be in recreation and tourist areas, they did a good thing with echo park hope it continues
True, tourist area's bring more money to the city and with homeless people nobody wants to visit like before.. I remember a lot of famous people and RUclipsrs use to go to Venice not nomore.
It’s time multimillion dollar businesses start paying for homeless shelters and Services to rehabilitate them. Medical foundations to provide medical care during that time period until “suitable “ employment can be achieved
I have heard how bad the tobacco epidemic is in Venice. Stay strong.
Venice Beach used to be a toilet now its a dump
Find people housing and there will be no homeless problems. People will leave the streets for an apartment but not a shelter. Don't people get that?
Many of these people don't want to leave their tents. They have a view of the beach and all the drugs they need.
@@berylgreen1973 there are always those factions. But most people just want a place where they can sleep and lock the door.
Oh Patricia, you have no idea. Talk to anyone who's dealt with homeless.
Thank God the Veteran Elder is getting off the street❤.
We want these homeless people to stop ruing our beach, this used to be a great place and now its garbage. We used to have tourist and now they dont want to come here because of these people. I have had people sleeping outside of my home and I have to walk over them to get out. The LAPD refuses to do anything im glad someone is finally doing something about it.
The guy aT 1:15. AND THE OTHERS. Be carefuL. They aLL have a verbaL husTLe going on.
People of LA need to stand behind this Sheriff. It takes a Wyatt Earp initiative!
That where they filmed that JJ CALE SONG WITH CLAPTON called I shot the sheriff.Wonder if they know that song.✌️🤩🤩
California is the last place I would ever go on vacation! What a mess.
This Sheriff has my vote!!
Wait a minute. He is living in a tent because he is addicted to tobacco??
0:15 German in Venice spotted at the right side. Lmfao
The Sherriff has no business in Venice, he is foolish and overstepping his boundaries. He needs to check in with the city police if he wants to move in on their territory.
They have jurisdiction there. LA is located in LA county thus the sheriff isn't overstepping anything it's literally their jurisdiction. Try reading up on the law lol.
I thought "Jack" was Michael Douglas first.
Bonin tweets.
That's it. Now back to the bathhouse.
Let the shit pile up, cheaper then dumping it in the land fill!
These people are there by choice they are there by choice
Why is the council men acting like a hater? Everyone needs to learn to work together. Thats the biggest issue. The Polatics.
Eight years addicted to tobacco....liar.
@ 1:11 my reason for not working ahh errrr duhh
Go forward .
Mabey they agreed to only help a certain type.
Italian renaissance
Best solutions vote those out in power.
Robert , good luck at the VA !
You will need it.
Local residents need to realize and accept that L.A. Mayor Garcetti & City Clowncil decided to make L.A. the homeless capital of the world. They facilitated and enabled this situation. Do NOT expect anything but further decline. Listen to Bonin=he's delusional and in a fantasy land. His Harvard theory does not work. The only mistake a local resident can make is thinking Bonin/Garcetti didn't do this on purpose; and expecting any improvement. This IS the new L.A. I've been right every step of the way since 2006.
housing crisis, job crisis.
My heart breaks seeing this 💔😢
This country is a shame.
why is it that law enforcement.... actually ENFORCING THE LAW....is so bizarre to most people? It's almost like walking on egg shells these days.....
Thank God for that Sheriff.
Way to go Sheriff
Send them to Mars
It is amazing the amount of garbage broken down furniture tarps the homeless can move overnight.. then we watch helplessly as the encampments start to grow then the smell starts and you start noticing the rodent population grow then one day they are blocking the sidewalk and next thing u see is a Fire engulfed tents and garbage.. seriously and u email the council member only to get a computer generated response telling you to use the 311 response line. THATS IT NO MORE TIME TO RECALL EVERY LA CITY COUNCIL MEMBER TIME TO TAKE BACK THE CITY
California has a law that you can't move the homeless people unless you have a place to put them... otherwise all you're doing is pushing them from one neighborhood to another and that really isn't fair to anyone, especially the next neighborhood 🤷♂️
Why doesn't this country make reservations for the homeless? We've done it for the native americans and internment camps for 110,000 japanese americans in 1942. Start with Slab City.
When will it become illegal to be homeless and without work? Is that the plan? If the state ignores the problem long enough and the annoyance too great, it will be the American solution. People will be imprisoned and will be able to become profitable for the private providers of prisons and institutions.
It shouldn’t be a political battle!! Taxpayers money is finally being used to clean up homelessness encampments. All thanks to DemocRATS!
Come on, Cali. You are on a roll. Don't start being stupid and ruin the momentum. Stop with the bravado, work together and finish what you started. Ridiculous!
It’s the rising costs and greed that’s putting these people on the streets there.
It’s alcohol and drug abuse. Please stop with the rising cost BS.
Natual-Hi , you are right.
There used to be individual cases. Today the whole society is sick. It cannot be cured. So what can you do? Any ideas? This problem will keep coming back and growing.
This is happening all the country from New York, to California, Seattle, and now Salt Lake City where I live now tents and garbage all the place.
Well, you make life easier for homeless people they will stay homeless.
You make beign homeless hard they will try everything they can to get out of such situation, and will do.
Most of these people are homeless by choice. Drug addicts, alcoholics, plain lazy folks etc. Just assist them and they will keep taking your assistance and will stay homeless.
There are homeless (aka street dwellers) seemingly everywhere. Is this the new trend while there are thousands of jobs unfilled that pay very well. The TSA is short help, grocery stores need workers, shippers can't find enough drivers, restaurants need cooks and servers and the list go on. It appears it's becoming easier to panhandle with a cardboard sign than it is to work and take responsibility for your life. One thing is crystal clear.....more free programs, handouts and city provided places to flop are not the answer.
I had to pay a homeless person to move their tent last time I worked in Venice. $40! To move out of a parking space in front of someone's home I was working on, because the cop said it was a "civil matter".fml
about fucking time!!!! you know its bad when venice is the number one destination for homeless people from around the country to go to !!! enough is enough !
I don't like talking bad about people but most homeless people just don't want to work , next to my job there's homeless and I ask some of them why you don't get a job you look young and they said why do I want a job if I get a government check every month .. My solution to the problem is take away there paycheck so they can look for a job.
If it weren't for the fact that nearly all these people are on drugs I'd feel sympathy for them. It's not like it use to be where homeless people are just temporarily down on their luck, it has become the cool thing to do. Most of them are kids getting free food, free medical care, free clothes, drugs, and now free housing. As long as we reward bad behavior this situation will keep getting worse.
We need leadership, we need courage to give Venice back to it's residents! F..k Bonin, Garcetti and city officials who do nothing but talk!
Flamethrowers and garbage trucks. Get some front end loaders to scoop the burnt poop so to speak, then compact them and their garbage in the trucks. Take them to a landfill and cover it over. It should happen in every major city across the nation.
It doesn't matter if you it's a PR stunt, at least they are doing something to address the problem. The state tax us more than enough to build these homeless people their own city. Tired of paying premium to only live with homeless right around the corner. Sooner than later more tax paying and high income citizens will move out of this state.
I almost moved there... glad I dodged that bullet... phew
Let the Sheriff's Dept. enter the picture. The mayor and council seem detached from what's happening.
Hey I have an idea... Get a fuckin job and change your situation. Sick of these people acting like theres nothing they can do and just expect people to feel bad for them.
Naw... America. We let so many fall through the cracks. But any of the druggies.. let em rot.
How many billions US spent for Iraq and Afghanistan war? US need to learn how to mind their own business.
So many naysayers. At least the county and city is trying to help and at the very least bringing this problem to light. The homeless need somewhere to go and the boardwalk needs cleaned up!
And that vet came back the next day because he ended up waiting outside the shelter for 10 hours. So essentially this was all a show for the public.
So sad. California is way way way too expensive. Housing prices keep going up while wages do not..
Some of these people did not even know they had money coming to them which is crazy and did not have to live in a tent on the beach.. All they needed is a helping hand.. I blame the government for not caring for vets that went a little mental and needed help.. Even others did not know they had money from SSI thousands how nuts is this..
Unlike Sheriff Villanueva , Bonin no where to be found at Venice Beach! Thanks LASD
This not a police issue, it is a public service conundrum. We need to address this with counselors and social workers. Our society needs a department of social works as cops are not trained or equipped to handle these types of problems. All the cops can do is arrest someone, and that's not a solution to homelessness.
Really sad that the turds in office want to let this go on. I remember running the Venice Christmas run 10 K right there.I would not go anywhere`s near that area now.
@ Mike Bonin at least the sheriff went there and did something. Stop diverting the positive Thing the sheriff did and you go out do something like he did and maybe we will get somewhere
