A bundle of syringes were found at an illegal campsite in Golden Gate Park

"I'm not sure why they're doing it," said one 28-year-old who goes by "Catfish" and said he's been periodically homeless for the last 10 years. "They've never been like this before. It confuses me."

Catfish are easily confused.

""I only slept there one night," said Williams, 33, who arrived last week in San Francisco from Baltimore by bus. "This wasn't what I was expecting." "

He will have to apply the syringe someplace else, I guess.

Those poor people who must inject their life saving medicines intraveneously. Must be alot of diabetics or people with some other unfortunate illness in the park. Please help them.

From another SF Gate article on the same story:

David "Toby" Meyers sat on a log with his belongings, including a cell phone and portable DVD player, spread around him. The 27-year-old said he has been homeless for 10 years since leaving his hometown in Texas to head somewhere more liberal.

"Homeless rousted from park - Cleanup effort also a chance to offer campers housing"

Ah. Liberal utopia at last.

I was in SF last weekend to see baseball games at Oakland Stadium (still boring) and SF Stadium (very cool). I read the SF Chronicle a couple of times and wanted to take a very long hot shower after each reading - what a despicable piece of slime!! If you really want to get the flavor of the anti-Americanism, just read the letters to the Editor, absolutely Communisitic.

San Francisco - the town where you have to pick up your dog's feces, but bums aren't required to pick up their own.

I drove down Market Street in SF just a few hours ago. It was disgusting and full of filthy slimeballs lingering and laying all over the place. It seems all the homeless losers in GG Park have all now moved downtown. SF will never learn. They just pushed these lowlifes from one part of town to another...and now to a part where the tourists roam. Homelessness in SF is out of control. Of course, if you talk to anyone here, it's all Bush's fault. I found one guy last week still blaming Reagan for the homeless problem!

So glad we left SF. Yes, there's a huge problem there. And the Mayor loves the gayleft. We've seen needles in Pacific Heights (one of the better neighborhoods).

The Mayor loves to blame all the problems on "the police" aka SFPD, but the SFPD's hands are tied.

It's becming Detroit, except for the new areas of town. Even the new areas have loads of homeless people.

Why not build a hospital at General Hospital to house these people instead? A crazy house. And put them in there, and fund it.

One where they really can't go out and get drugs. Something.

Anyways, glad I left!
