frost prejudice

Original post made by anna, Barron Park, on Sep 23, 2009

I was at Whole Foods yesterday and passed by Frost and a black man who was sitting in a wheel chair. Frost was yelling racial slurs at the gentleman and cursing him. He was upset that the man was panhandling in "his spot". Why does this go on? Why does Whole Foods allow it. Frost is rude and should be told to move. I am sure if we had a dozen panhandlers sitting there, then the store would act.

What Frost needs is competition and as soon as there is some Frost will be on his way to somewhere else.

Do not enable him!

Victor towering over someone confined to a chair and raising his voice. How could that NOT be intimidating for the person in the chair - regardless opf age, gender, socio-economic, race or anything else that bothers a person who slams "crack monkeys" (he used that phrase in court), comes down on peers (other street folks) who use drugs and/or alcohol, but had a picture taken in the housing he demands, and rejects, with a vodka bottle of his coffwee table. He says he stays inside the law, but solicits alcohol beverages (see B&


P codes re ABC regulations, he intends to consume in public - PA writes those cites regularly. Okay, perhaps he will sit in his ca, but open container in a car is even more not legal!!!!




He is known to shreeek at his "peers" (ask, he ain't got one since the guy on the cross) who bend his idea of self (i.e. ego).




The apparent(I hope the question remains unanswered)male life form should be allowed to maintain the role of food for thought, but there is enough food available that he needs, or deserves, a direct supply.




That said, if, IF,IIIFFF, you can find him on the Page Mill stub (between Park and the tracks, where he says he lives)at night (i.e. after Midnight)give him what he has earned - the goes to you.




Is there a way to cast a negative vote?????????????????????

What is the difference between "empower" and "enable" as YOU see the terms? Would a bus ticket out-of-town be enabling or empowering?

I wished I could have been there when he was arrested! I think they should give him a job walking in the parks. With him just walking on the grass, he would be spreading fertilizer for free. We of course would pay him 26 cents.
