Default USA: San Francisco gallery owner Hoses down a homeless woman





[Shocking moment San Francisco
gallery owner – who once counted David Rockefeller
and Arnold Schwarzenegger as clients –
HOSES down a homeless woman and says
he's only sorry she didn't move sooner
Collier Gwin, the owner of Foster Gwin Gallery,
was seen in a now viral video brutally spraying
water at a homeless woman in San Francisco
with a hose
The incident occurred on Monday
as temperatures hit a low of 49 degrees*
Gwin insisted he is not sorry for his
actions and that he was trying to 'help' her]

Saw this yesterday, and it's absolutely disgusting behaviour. The dehumanisation of marginalised people is definitely on the rise everywhere, and it's heading somewhere extremely dark.

She's not a rat or something ,you don't go around hosing people with water , especially someone vulnerable like that !! . Someone should hose him down ... he's disgusting for doing that.

He presumably doesn't own the ground outside his shop though so he can be pissed off all he likes. What he did was assault that woman and I hope he was arrested for it.

As a side note, when I was travelling around the USA a few years ago, I visited a few Southern States/Cities and then the last stop was San Francisco and I was really struck by the amount of Homeless people there especially compared to the other places I'd been (Austin, Dallas, Houston, New Orleans, Memphis, Little Rock)

yes he has tried and tried to help her

San Francisco has the highest housing prices in the United States

Democrats, and progressives dominating city politics

Only building one house for every 8 jobs created

but

"
The city's political class thinks homelessness is primarily caused by
insufficient housing. In truth, homelessness is more often caused by
substance abuse and mental illness. That mistake has caused the city to pour
hundreds of millions of dollars into “affordable” or “permanent” housing
programs."

Yes that is a fair point. Actually naming the cause of the problems and trying to tackle that honestly would be a much better angle but that would cost far too much money and probably looking at big pharma for example that I'm sure governments don't want to look at. I'm thinking about how much the Opioid Crisis in the USA for example might have played a part in addiction levels and ultimately homelessness

SF and LA are a mess for druggies on the street.
I must say however that San Diego is idylic.
The downtown is beautiful and homelessness does seem minimal, maybe like London levels.

With the state of modern art, a smelly tramp outside would manage expectations quite well.

With Modern Art being as whacky as it is he’d have been better served paying the guy to sit on a big shelf in it’s own viewing room in the art gallery .

The guy deserves a punch tbh.

But sadly the other person would face a punishment instead, so it's not the wisest path to pick.

It's just the latest in a long line of daily occurrences in San Francisco on attacks of the homeless.

The city's council have lost control and give no support to local business owners. This video is nothing compared to the true plight of San Francisco's female homeless population.
