Liberals Hate the Homeless

One of the most liberal cities in the country, Los Angeles, has the highest concentration of homeless in the country. And the city, run by Democrats, does nothing to reduce the homeless population. They almost seem to encourage it by donating cash to the victims and allowing them to stay homeless rather than getting them the medical help they need or prosecuting them for their outstanding criminal warrants.

Now comes this latest story of a lawsuit by a paraplegic homeless man who was dumped in the gutter of Skid Row.

From Reuters here:

A mentally ill paraplegic man filed a lawsuit on Thursday against a hospital that dumped him in a gutter on Los Angeles’ “Skid Row.”

Gabino Olvera, 42, sued the Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center for negligence and elder abuse after it discharged him in February 2007, took him across town in a van and left him in a soiled hospital gown without a wheelchair in the heart of the city’s homeless area.

Witnesses who came to Olvera’s aid said they saw him dragging himself on the ground with hospital papers and documents clenched in his teeth while the driver sat in her van and applied makeup before driving off.

The incident was captured by security cameras at a nearby homeless shelter.

The Olvera case was one of about 50 reported incidents in the past 12 months of sick, confused and homeless patients being left by ambulances in the 50-block area of downtown Los Angeles thought to have the highest concentration of homeless people in the United States.

In Los Angeles, an estimated 12,000 people, many of them mentally ill or addicted to drugs and alcohol, live and sleep on the streets of the area known as Skid Row.
