Homeless People Are Not Here For Our Entertainment

When did we lose our compassion for people?

Shannon Collier Gwin casually hoses down a homeless woman in front of his downtown art gallery. Screen grab from YouTube

A San Francisco art gallery owner was caught on video spraying a homeless woman with a water hose before telling her to move. What the hell is wrong with this guy?

According to CBS News, a warrant was issued for gallery owner Shannon Collier Gwin’s arrest for misdemeanor battery. In a statement to CBS San Francisco, Gwin was apologetic and claimed he’d “put a tremendous amount of effort into helping this woman.”

I guess he was helping her bathe.

This begs the question: When did we stop caring about people? How did Gwin decide this was the best course of action?

In January, the average temperature in the City by the Bay is 57 degrees. No, it’s an uncomfortable temperature — unless you’re soaking wet.

Gwin, owner of Foster Gwin Gallery claimed he made numerous attempts to get the woman off the streets, and hosing her down was a last resort.

“It’s a very, very sad situation, and she’s very psychotic,” Gwin said.

Let’s get this straight. Gwin says the woman is psychotic. And he decides the best way to get her off the street is to break out the water hose. In whose psychotic mind was this the right action to take?

San Francisco does have a homeless problem. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, the city expected some 20,000 people would be homeless in 2022.

In times of disaster, Americans come together to provide food, shelter, clothing, and more to people who have lost their homes to tornadoes, fire, and severe rains.

It’s natural to help others when we see ourselves in the same predicament.

Of course, you can find YouTube videos of armchair quarterbacks and their legion of morons who say fuck the homeless, and the owner was right to take action. To them, I offer a hearty, fuck you, too.

I’ve added a link here, but I’m not interested in giving this asshat more clicks and subscribers.

Humans are capable of hate for the transgender and gay communities, left versus right, or fools who are adamant that the white race should be the only race in America. To them, I offer this insight: Fuck you. Find some property in Antarctica, Siberia, or anywhere but the US. Your bullshit is not welcome at my doorstep.

If you’ve read this far, thank you for stopping by. Lay 50 claps on me and comment if you would please. I will return the favor. Cheers!

I accept tips, which go directly to Dining for Hunger, a recognized 501(c)(3) organization that looks to end food insecurity. If you can spare a dollar or two, I’d be grateful.
