Re: “Homelessness concerns need to be addressed,” May 14 Beacon, page 6: So I\u2019m sitting here, minding my own business on a Saturday afternoon after chores \u2014 across from the Sacred Heart School\u2019s mini street fair \u2014 jamming to blasting tunes with my windows and doors open to the breeze on the corner of Cable and Saratoga Streets in Ocean Beach. In walks an unkempt stranger, who sits down and takes a cigarette. I am physically frozen while my mind bounces from “Call 911” to “Take another one for the road … goodbye.” Thank God the latter worked! I absolutely agree with Todd Strong\u2019s letter to the editor regarding homeless concerns needing to be addressed. I\u2019m a low-income, hardworking renter, myself fearing the possibility of homelessness, but I would never cross such boundaries as this individual who seemed to have come to the point of bizarre entitlement in a totally warped, Robbin Hoodish \u2014 NOT Twilight Zonish \u2014 manner. I\u2019m getting so paranoid around here with the numerous unsavory activities that I\u2019m wondering if it\u2019s a skunk, or a homeless person that keeps breaking into my outside ground-level ventilation screen. I believe our society still has a long way to go toward helping others by “teaching them to fish, and not just give them a fish.” I don\u2019t have it, but even I will tithe a dollar in a parking lot or wherever, but this person\u2019s behavior\u00a0was indeed outside human boundaries.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
