Unfortunately, homelessness is a huge problem in cities like Los Angeles. And there’s no question that the pandemic has only made the crisis worse. For Shacola Thompson, who lives in Van Nuys, the issue has become personal recently. She’s been trying to get a homeless man to leave her porch for weeks but to no avail.
As noted by MSN, the man “continues to return and make himself comfortable on her porch.”
In addition to the stress of somebody encroaching on her space, Thompson told KTLA, “I don’t feel safe when I come out here and try to enjoy my coffee or sit and do my yoga. I had to take up my rug for him not to lay here, but that didn’t stop him. I hope that the LAPD will do its job and take this individual away from this community. Take him somewhere so he can be evaluated.”
The man has made an appearance at least 10 times in a month. Security footage shows him sleeping, sitting in one of the seats and smoking. He also left graffiti on the house while Thompson was out of town.
At one point, the LAPD arrived at the house and asked Thompson if she knew the man since he claimed to live with her. She said that wasn’t true.
The police did say they would arrest the man if he returned, but that has yet to deter him.
“I just feel like they’re not taking this serious,” Thompson complained. “They’re not taking my safety seriously. I live here. I’m alone. He could come in. He could harm me. He could bogart his way into my house. It’s not fair.”

Just call the police and tell them there’s a man on my porch trying to get me to register as a Republican for the next election or trying to get me to sign a recall petition to recall Newsom or Gascon.
I have two guns that shoot real bullets, and one that just shoots blanks. I’d run out there with the blank gun and point it at his head and pull the trigger. That might get his attention.
“He could bogart his way into my house.”
I’ve heard of bogarting a joint, but I’ve never heard of bogarting your way into a house...
A great solution... if you also want to make your porch unusable for yourself :)
“A 12 gauge shotgun loaded with 00 buck would solve the problem.”
Don’t even need to waste buckshot on this kind of problem. Rock salt would work just fine.
One big mean German Shepherd on a long leash.
A shotgun would also,but that’ll cost more than fifty bucks.🤔
Bogie was short.🤨
😂
You do know that blanks can kill.🤔
Did Shacola vote Democrat? Did she vote to defund the police? would be interesting to know.
Time to get King the killer dog.
I remember seeing a sign on a fence in Chicago.
“Warning Killer Dogs on premise. Survivors will be prosecuted.”
Just move to Martha’s Vineyard. The trespasser will be removed in less than 48 hours.
It’s unusable as long as the bum is there...and the scent fades quickly, or so I hear.;-)
Tell the law he was at J6.
“Just call the police and tell them there’s a man on my porch trying to get me to register as a Republican for the next election or trying to get me to sign a recall petition to recall Newsom or Gascon.”
Or suggesting I carry my pregnancy to term instead of getting an abortion.
Paging Alec Baldwin
You mean Arec Balwin?😁
