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.

Long Beach used to be a nice area.

Democrats destroyed California.

Democrats destroy everything they touch.

When the police finally showed up, their recommendation was Windex.

The only solution to California’s homeless issue is to bring back mental institutions. The only drawback is that well over half their population should be living in them.

I’m sorry. I laughed at that.

George Floyd has consequences.

Public masterbation is common among drug addicts.

Did the shop owner say out of habit.... "come again...." as the homeless man left?

Yes I'm sick, but not as sick as those allowing this problem.....

“Long Beach went for Hillary 72 percent 71 percent for Biden.”

Long Beach and the southeast LA County used to be a conservative, working families’ area. When the shipyards, Boeing, General Motors, and North American Rockwell left so did the working families.

How to make a perfect utopian stew…
1. Mental health hospitals closed (“inhumane” treatment but more humane letting them live on the streets)
2. Ended involuntary commitment
3. Federal laws against “crowded” prisons and multiple massive releases of “non violent” criminals
4. Prison closings
5. Erased southern border
6. Cheap Chinese/Mexican fentanyl
7. George Floyd —> “Defund the Police” —> BLM —> no policing
8. Soros picks and owns the DAs

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

The young person may need to be admitted to a psychiatric institution, much like the woman may require care in a nursing home. Reviving state-operated mental hospitals could be a pragmatic approach to reducing homelessness by offering essential care and shelter to those requiring assistance.

It’s possible that the man’s family is either unable to assist him, or he may be declining help from them. There are many homeless individuals on the streets whose mental faculties have been impaired due to drug addiction.

In a personal account, my daughter-in-law’s mother, who is battling mental illness, has gone missing and despite attempts, they have been unable to find her. She seems to be resistant to receiving help.

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

That’s a great idea. Start pointing and laughing hysterically.

And maybe one or two people do this (while laughing, of course.)

Salon 500 is located on Broadway in Long Beach. A traditionally "gay" area of the city.

The pedestrian crossings are painted in rainbow colors!

The current mayor is a homosexual.
