Article: The Grim Story of the Homeless dead on L.A. Streets - The oft-told tale of horror has become both the stuff of legend and the stuff of caution about poverty and destitution. That s the tale of woe of Shanghai China in the 1920s. Every morning dozens of bodies were swept up off that city s streets. They were the poorest of the poor who were desperately sick, impoverished, scorned, and of course, homeless.
Anything less simply ensures that the streets of L.A. will be the modern-day version of Shanghai when it comes to the homeless and impoverished dead who are swept up yearly on the city’s streets.
Three homeless men were murdered last week in Los Angeles. Their killings were the outcome of sustained ruling class efforts to demonize the homeless population in the nation’s second largest city.
The goal of the bill “is to prevent deaths of people experiencing homelessness by putting data together and finding ways to save live,” said Assemblymember Sharon Quirk-Silva.
