HOLLYWOOD STABBING OF TOURIST and HOMELESS CRIME - OUR OPINION

We feel we must make a statement due to hearing the ravings of another radio talk show host against all homeless over the stabbing of a woman in Hollywood who was on the tourist streets and taking pictures of homeless people.  As we understand the story, the homeless man said no, she took the picture anyway, and he killed her. 

We feel we must make a statement especially because we're here encouraging our homeless-curious and caringreaders to not shun us, abandon us, avoid us, or be prejudiced against us.We're not making any excuses for a murder over something which may be trivial. 

However, taking photos of anyone without their permission is rude and wrong as is expecting them to pose for you because you want them to.  Taking pictures of someone because they are homeless, which is a way of outing them, disrespecting their privacy, and going against their wishes not to be photographed is wrong. 

Ask yourself because we are asking the photographer. Does this person you want to photograph really want you to show all your friends when you get back home their picture as an example of a homeless person?  What are you going to do with the picture you had no permission to take?  Distribute it around the world from your cell phone? Twitter account? Your web page?  Have you offered them a tip or other compensation to pose with you? 

COMING TO LOS ANGELES or HOLLYWOOD to see CELEBRITIES?  On Hollywood Boulevard there are a lot of homeless including lots of run-away kids who are prostituting themselves or being pimped out or trafficked.  A lot of homeless go down to Hollywood because the tourists have money and the pan handling can be real good.  There is a difference though from a person who has a JOB posing as a Cartoon Character or Dead Celebrity and a person who is simply there!

At last count there were something like 80,000 homeless in LA.  Some of them are in Hollywood.  On that day that one murdered, 79,000 did not.

HAVE OTHER HOMELESS PEOPLE VICTIMIZED YOU?

Victimized ??

HOMELESS PEOPLE STEALING FROM OTHER HOMELESS.

HOMELESS PEOPLE RAPING OTHER HOMELESS.

HOMELESS PEOPLE SABOTAGING OTHER HOMELESS.

ARE YOU PART OF A COMMUNITY THAT PROTECTS MEMBERS FROM OUTSIDER HOMELESS WHO PREY ON OTHERS?

We know it, we've experienced it, we think it's terrible!

We'd like to hear from you!

CONGRESS TO ADD HOMELESS TO HATE CRIME PROTECTIONS

"Right now that data is collected by the National Coalition for the Homeless. A report issued by the organization in August showed that violence against the homeless in 2009 was the highest it's been in 10 years. Last year 43 homeless people were killed. In 2008, that number was 27. Cardin said he was "shocked and horrified" by reports of the killings."
URGE YOUR SENATORS TO JOIN CARDIN TO PASS THE BILL AND PROTECT HOMELESS CONSTITUENTS!

KILLER OF HOMELESS John Robert McGraham, SENTENCED TO LIFE

"I only wish Ben had some compassion for John," McGraham's younger sister Susanne McGraham-Paisley said through tears. "He must have seen him as a filthy heap of a bum who deserved not to live. (John) was good, kind and thoughtful. He never hurt anybody."

JOHN ROBERT McGRAHAM WAS SET ON FIRE!
May he Rest in Peace now!

THIS IS A HATE CRIME!

STOP calling FEMALES BITCHES and WHORES

A Los Angeles resident of skid row told me that for three months he stayed at a place where women were never referred to as females, women, or ladies, but only "Bitches" and "Ho's."

We gotta stop that!

First of all, it's hard to be homeless, but even more so for females; we can't pee under a tree. We have periods and may not be able to shower every day. If we don't have a protector on the street or at a shelter somewhere, we are vulnerable to harassment and sex crimes.

Homeless people must do everything in their power to refrain from insulting each other and diminishing each others chances for success. When one of us succeeds we SHOW THEM!

This blog stands to inspire - if at all possible - and to UNITE homeless people. We cannot do that if homeless are busy sabotaging the self esteem of other homeless. So be you male or female, TODAY PLEDGE TO STOP CALLING females, women, and ladies, ugly names that reduce them and prevent them from being heard !

And remember. We are NOT members of any church. This is NOT coming from a Christian religious bias. We are not trying to stuff Bibles up your you know what!

This is coming from the heart. And to love and be loved, we must UPHOLD. We must stand together.

Instead of insulting today find it in your heart to give someone you meet up with a sincere compliment!
