Linking to the breaking news: Carol Sobel, Civil Rights Attorney, is filing another lawsuit against the City of Los Angeles, for taking the property of homeless individuals.
"The city of Los Angeles faces a fifth lawsuit over the seizure of homeless people's belongings in street cleaning sweeps after recent crackdowns in the beachfront community of Venice.A legal claim against the city was filed Thursday by Santa Monica civil rights attorney Carol Sobel, who has successfully sued the city in the last three cases over the same issue in Skid Row, the most densely populated homeless area in Los Angeles."It's just extremely disappointing that this city won't take a different approach to poor people who don't have a place to live," she said... In many cases, mentally ill people lost their worldly goods, including prescription medications and legal documents, when they left their bundles unattended while they went to shower or eat at a nearby shelter."
We're all for it. If you haven't carried everything you own on your back so that you can sleep at night or wash...if you haven't had everything you own thrown out the door of a police car, bulldozed over in a wash, or thrown into a dumpster by your case manager at a shelter (YES! THEY DO THIS AT SOME SHELTERS TO TERRORIZE AND CONTROL RESIDENTS!) then you may not have much sympathy.
We say GO SOBEL GO!

I arrived at a shelter with no clothes. Over the time I was there I got clothes from donations thrown on tables and thrift stores. Then to discipline me my case manager went into the room and took all my clothes and threw them in a locked bin. I went around in rags for three months until this locked bin was unlocked.
cops picked up my friend and drove him into the next town and told him not to come back to their town. They stopped at a bridge and threw his backback into the river. M
