ORANGE COUNTY SERIAL KILLER OF HOMELESS A FORMER MARINE

A LINK TO THE KTLA ARTICLE IS ABOVE. HERE IS OUR RESPONSE:

We're with the blog EXPOSE HOMELESSNESS By and For Homeless People. This story is disturbing but let it be understood that homeless people are targeted for harassment, beatings, and baiting, and not just by a crazy ex marine who may be been in mentally ill and psychotic when he killed easy targets - three sleeping men and then one who was stabbed with plenty of witnesses.

Towns want homeless ex residents moved out of sight and out of town. Police may have legitimate work in removing drug dealers from parks but they also move people who have nowhere else to sleep out of parks and encampments. We hear stories of our people being picked up by police, driven over town borders, having their bikes and suitcases thrown over a bridge or to the side of the road by police. We hear about people who are busted in motel rooms for no reason and police taking their cash on the way out.

Homeless and destitute people all over the United States and the World are treated as untouchables and without civil rights.

Shelters are temporary answers and staying in them sometimes requires severe compromises including heath and safety violations.

Social services are overwhelmed. Veterans fight for their benefits while Case Managers at Mental Health Facilities would rather a person get benefits than get well. ALL OF THIS IS APPARENTLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE MAJORITY SO WE ASK YOU, WHY WOULDN'T A KILLER FEEL CONFIDENT THAT HE COULD KILL AND GET AWAY WITH IT?
