Los Angeles Homeless Crisis: Homeless Man Throws Human Feces at Sherman Oaks Business Owner

‘It is literally a psych ward’

EXCERPT:

SCRIVANO: "Every single day, every single morning, I'm wiping that off my property before I have to do business."

REPORTER: "Sir, why are you throwing feces at people?"

HOMELESS PERSON: "Who?"

REPORTER: "You threw feces at this gentleman."

HOMELESS PERSON: "This guy have to understand! I'm half-paralyzed, I’m blind, I have no court for nine years!"

REPORTER (voice-over): "We offered to help the man with services for the homeless, but..."

REPORTER: "Sir, do you need help? The city is offering."

HOMELESS PERSON: "He needs help."

SCRIVANO: "Every day is like another adventure of 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.' It is like a psych — literally a psych ward score."

REPORTER (voice-over): "Scrivano, owner of Blue Dog Beer Tavern, has had about all he can take."

SCRIVANO: "That’s okay? Pooping on the street, peeing on the street, having sex on the street, making threats without a weapon is okay now?"
