Mestizos are vermin and locking them out is not enough. Killing them should be allowed as IMHO they are not human.

I live in Los Angeles 90020 and would love the City of Los Angeles to use these locked cans. I hate being woken up during the night because some scumbag is rummaging through my trash and clanking bottles. Sometimes they leave a mess, but generally the noise at late hours is my primary complaint. I can’t see who they are during the night, but I wish they would go to hell.

[...] We wrote about this a few weeks ago when the O.C. Register broke the story. It is obviously yet another attempt by Santa Ana’s Usual Suspects, in the Wilshire Square Neighborhood, to bash Mexicans. [...]

To #42……

I understand what your’re saying. And I certainly feel for the poor guy having to scavenge after a kidney transplant. This whole world is in a sorry state right now and I’m pretty sure that it won’t be fixed in our lifetimes. And regarding our state, I sort of imagine it to having people move into my house one by one for help……the money is only going to go so far. Once I’m out, I’m out. There are just too many people and not enough money. It’s a major predicament that as I said, probably won’t be much better in our lifetime.

Not scavengers! These are our neediest residents who meticulously look through our trash cans – because there is NO mess left behind.

On a cold rainy night, approximately two months ago, I gave a man a coat…- he looked green in the face, the white part of his eyes quite yellowish. He said, “Thank you, God bless you- I just had a kidney transplant 2 wks ago.”–and this man was out digging through trash cans-looking for cans. I was filled with emotion, and tears broke my short encounter with this man. Why and how could our city council and neighbors be so insensitive??? This should not be in America. I leave bags of cans and plastic water bottles on top of my trash cans, or hanging from my fence for these ppl.

#39 (Cook). I like your idea. Set the recyclables aside. It’s the humane thing to do.

However, you do not understand what being homeless is like.

How sad that you only see the “RACE card” when dealing with QUALITY
OF LIFE issues. What about the noice, trash thrown on the street,
waking of sleeping residents who take care of their property.
Wilshire Square makes donations to many charities and the people who live here make many individual contributions as well.
There are rules and regulations that citizens have to live by to make a safe and effective community. Unfortunately, it is against the law to “pick through trash” SO please try to find another way to complain about following the rules and trying to make for a better neighborhood! Using Race is just too easy!!

curious,

If you want to give some little old lady your cans and bottles, put them I a box or bag and hand then over in person, why force her to go though your trash like a rat.

The complaint in the post was about people tossing trash all over yards and intimidating residences in the process. (no race card attached)

What the homeless need?

They pay no rent, their shelter is free, food and clothes are delivered daily so that is covered too. Medical costs, covered again. Drugs, booze or other personal vices, the county covers that with general assistance cash and food stamps (that are sold for cash).

What these people could really use is, a place to shower and go to the bathroom. So they can change their clothes and feel human again.

So what is next? Maybe get rid of all the recycling centers, or getting a permit from the city to recycle? I pay the deposits for my recyclables, and the city already charges me too much. I much rather have some one that needs it take it. It doesn’t matter what race.

Well maybe if you people would put the recyclables in the gray can, they would have no reason to search the brown can. They could just empty the gray can into their carts.

#35…

you are a piece of work…so a poor lady trying to take a few aluminum cans out of my trash is no different than a home invasion robber?!?!?!

If we all follow your logic, we should also fill our cars and houses with dog s*** to keep the thieves away. Nice.

The trash you put into the cart is your property until the truck comes by and picks it up.

Anyone getting into it for the purpose of taking stuff out is a petty thief.

There is no legal difference between someone taking stuff out of your trash, as compared to out of your car or out of your house. No one goes into my trash cause I recycle all myself and my can is full of dog poop.

But, also giving the city more power, or the only power, is going over board. Pick up the trash in and around your property, wash off, or paint over the graffiti and put pet waste on top, the punks and petty thieves will get the message and move on.
