A homeless man attacked a Santa Monica city councilman who asked him to stop littering, in an incident that was captured on video.
While walking at the Third Street Promenade, a popular shopping and dining area, on Sunday, Santa Monica city councilman Phil Brock noticed a homeless man ripping signs off boarded-up storefronts and tossing them on the ground.
Brock approached the man, identified by authorities as Sawyer Walden Allee, and asked if he could throw the signs away instead of littering.
Allee, 20, responded with obscenities, so Brock threw garbage out himself, KTLA reported.

Reminds me of the hospital scene in Idiocracy.

Heheh my algebra teacher in middle school was also a licensed plumber.
Kalifornia = I don’t care
Doubt it. They are confirmed unable to reason. Even if you put them in a mortar and grind them, their insanity will not be separated out.
Rootin’ for the homeless guy. What an idiotic councilman. He actually expected someone who is living on the streets and mindlessly tearing off signs off a building to be courteous and throw the signs away in the proper receptacle.
He is just as detached from reality as the homeless man.
Santa Monica, you deserve it.
Agreed. We need to get back to testing kids for acuity, talents, desired career paths and helping them achieve proficiency. We also need to make sure that industry stays in this country and that companies that outsource to foreign countries are penalized/Unions are not allowed to price American wages to the point that the companies can no longer stay competitive.
I was a union worker back a while ago, and I saw what corrupt, self-interested, company-ruining jerks the union leadership were.
I’ve mentioned this before. Bush II’s disastrous ‘No Child Left Behind’ program is the main reason there are no longer trades programs in high schools. NCLB tested only for math and English. And woe to the school with low scores.
So most schools eliminated their trades programs, and shoved everyone into advanced math and English classes.
I taught in an urban high school. We had a superb carpentry program. Inner city kids learned a skill that their neighborhoods needed. The program is gone now, for the reason stated above.
As for unions, before teaching I worked in a union steel mill. The union is a major reason that mill is now gone. They killed the golden goose. Killed it dead.
Now that fat liberal knows why we need laws against vagrancy and loitering and public intoxication.
Lock up. Sheriff Joe them. One meal a day.
At the same time, the union stewards were walking around socializing and interrupting the work while they campaigned for higher union positions - and filing grievances against anyone who worked out of level or made suggestions to improved productivity ("eliminating jobs") - and taking a healthy part of my paycheck with compulsory union dues.
Now Lockheed doesn't make airliners or antisubmarine aircraft anymore.
