Homeless in Santa Barbara

January 18th, 2006

I was in Santa Barbara last weekend.  In 2 days I saw 3 homeless people get arrested/approached by police.  One of them involved 8 police cars.  For 1 homeless man.  It broke my heart that because of the fact if it was me that did whatever the homeless man did, which may have been nothing other than existing…  It wouldn't have drawn 8 police cars attention.

Think about this scenario.  A homeless person sleeping on the beach, and a young college student laying on a towel tanning on the beach…

Honestly, who do you think would be asked to move along first?

The answer that just popped in your head is what bothers me.  Because its the same answer that popped in my head…
