Long Beach residents slam influx of mentally ill homeless people living on sidewalks - with one filmed masturbating against hair salon's glass window in full view of horrified customers

Long Beach residents are up in arms after yet another horrifying incident that occurred Wednesday involving a homeless person in the downtown area of the city, an area that local police refer to as The Beast.

In the latest episode, a homeless man was filmed masturbating in front of a nail salon window, refusing pleas to stop as those inside watched on in horror.

In an interview with Fox Los Angeles the salon's owner said that it took police nearly two hours to respond to their 911 call. The owner said in the same interview that one of her employees was sexually assaulted in the neighborhood earlier this year.

It was less than two weeks ago when a woman became the victim of an attempted rape in broad daylight that was caught on camera in the same area. That woman was only saved when an elderly man pepper sprayed the 'demon possessed' suspect.

Despite arresting the assailant, liberal Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascon's office opted to charge him with minor sexual battery charges that could see him avoid any jail time altogether.

A woman who works in the area who witnessed the homeless man masturbating outside of Salon 500 told KTLA in an interview that sometimes the police don't even respond to calls in the area.

'It's daily, it's daily. It's scary. You don't not feel safe walking the streets here,' Zoe Garcia told the station.

'[The cops] took two hours to arrive. Most times, they don't even come out,' she added.

Meanwhile the owner of Salon 500 described how terrifying it is to try to run a business in a such a lawless environment.

Just came back from Long Beach after last visiting in 2008. The change is pretty dramatic. What was once a clean, inviting town sitting on some beautiful real estate that you could safely stroll through in the evening is now just another filthy burg full of ranting homeless and stinking of weed.

But keep voting for Democrats. They'll fix the mess they made, eventually.

Yes. Create chaos. Let it simmer for a while, then step in to re-establish order. Their brand of order.

Liberalism has brought us zero morality, zero accountability and zero maturity.

A shotgun loaded with rock salt is a great deterrent to masturbating men...

Save money or lives: The real issue in prison closings:

During the latest episode of businessman and commentator Patrick Bet-David’s podcast, the “Young Turks” co-host called the California city a “nightmare” and warned visitors, “Your car’s going to get broken into, okay? You’re going to get robbed.”

The conversation began with Bet-David bringing up Kasparian’s X post from last month in which she claimed, “California is *without question* a shit show under Newsom. But I guess propping up proven failures is what the Democratic Party excels at these days.”

Kasparian, a Los Angeles native, told the podcast’s co-hosts she believes her hometown and California still have “a lot of potential,” but added, “there have been some policies implemented that have been disastrous.”

She took aim at Gov. Gavin Newsom, D-Calif., and the state government, stating, “So, Gavin Newsom and the current Democratic legislature in the state of California have engaged in this trend of decriminalizing everything and refusing to regulate things.” She mentioned that the state government has done this with prostitution, for example.

“No one is safe, everyone’s angry, and you see all sorts of terrible stuff happening right there in broad daylight in the middle of the street.”

Save money or lives: The real issue in prison closings!
Tom Elias California Focus: /2023/10/02/

Gov. Gavin Newsom and other Democrats in Sacramento are working steadily these days to close several California prisons, perhaps as many as six.

The stated benefits include saving money and doing something to address mass incarceration of Blacks and other minorities, which is partly the result of the much-maligned federal and state “war on drugs.”

But despite support from the elected chief prosecutors in several of the most populous California counties, there are dangers.

Take some provisions of a bill that came within a hair of becoming law this fall, one that would allow most convicts, including murderers and rapists, to petition for re-sentencing and eventual
parole.

what ideas do you all have?

Play a tape of people laughing as one of them says, "Is that all you have?" for the guy giving himself some action.

Release an itch-causing spray.

Invite a person with a terrible voice to give daily concerts for the people camped out on the sidewalk.

I'd say release some hungry pit bulls, but I wouldn't want them to ingest something that could make them sick.

I sometimes suspect Californians tolerate this stuff because they like blaming Ronald Reagan for it.

Then go out there with a bat and beat him senseless. Police won’t come and if they do, “I didn’t see nothing”.

In better days a few men would have beaten this creep senseless and left him bleeding on the sidewalk.

If everybody inside started laughing, it wouldn’t be fun any more.

Long Beach is very close to south central LA, Compton etc.

It’s not the place you want to be.

I remember that video. That poor old woman should be in a nursing home not on the streets. Why her family doesn’t help her is beyond me.

A young man doing nasty stuff in front of a salon is another thing.
