Scanner Reports 2-15-19

By Roger the Scanner Guy

I heard this Code: 415 (Disturbance) call the other day at Little Caesars on Milpas, it involved two homeless males. I did not catch the whole call but it was enough of a commotion for the manager to call and want contact maybe even file charges against the males, they were harassing customers. I used to go there a lot, I can't anymore because of my stomach but when I went there was usually a couple people sitting on the step in front of H&R Block panhandling. I never had any problem with them and neither did Little Caesars at the time as I mentioned them once wondering if Little Caesars had a problem with the panhandlers, they did not so these guys the other day must have really raised some hell for the store to want contact on the call or to consider filing a complaint. The males were no longer on the scene but were reported last seen walking South on Milpas, police caught up to them in the Milpas Underpass. I just happened to need a new hot plate so I took a walk, the police were talking with the subjects as I walked by both of them were laughing and joking with the police. The police were not laughing or joking with them, it seemed like both of these fine upstanding guys who everyone is paranoid of, thought the whole incident was funny. One of them was taken into custody that made me laugh. Not all Homeless Folks are trouble most are pretty mellow, but once in a while someone who likes to rock the boat and make waves shows up and those are the Troublemakers.

I know these other folks, a married couple, they told me a few years back almost 10 years ago now they were walking through the square there in the 700 Block of State street going to a movie. These people hit them up for money, they said "No" and both were beaten so bad they ended up in the hospital. The Husband almost lost his sight, the attackers got a slap on the wrist. Having seen and experienced some of it for myself the older you get the easier prey you are for Thugs. I believe alot of the stories of harassment I hear occurring around town. I believe in helping the Homeless but if there is no law and order within the community, and other citizens are expected to pick up the slack, forget it. There are Laws here and we are all expected to follow those Laws if some are unwilling to do that then they should expect what they have coming to them.  It doesn't include camping because the homeless have nowhere to go otherwise they would not be called "Homeless." Other things besides that we all have to follow the law or except the Consequences.

Boy some people think it's ok to harass others and break the law just because they are homeless. I see why residents are pissed off. I know most of the posts on one threat are troll posts but it's SNOT OK that people don't feel safe going downtown, seems like  people will use every excuse to justify some of the homeless acting out and breaking the law while there are REAL HOMELESS PEOPLE out there that need help and want it but are too afraid to ask because they too are victims of Transient Thugs just looking for a free ride..
