This happened today in San Francisco as I was walking up Sansome toward Bush at about 1:14 PM PST. Two men were arguing for some reason - one homeless - then the other man chased him and started to throw him but we asked him to stop and walk off. Later, the homeless man admitted to me on camera he made fun of the guy (for some reason) but that didn't mean he had to try and assault the guy.

Moreover, the police came later, but threw the Homeless Man's items away. Why? He says someone called security, gesturing to the building on the corner of Sansome and Bush. Unfortunately, my camera's batteries ran out, so I went to buy new ones at the Walgreens accross the street; when I returned the Homeless Man was gone.

But the bearded, long-haired guy in black clearly had some problems himself. Total anger management issues as all he had to do was ignore the Homeless Man and walk on, but it was clear that before I arrived he was already in an argument with the guy which (my guess) has to do with the kind of camp site the Homeless Man set up on the corner. Wrong, yes. But it was much more "wrong" to assault him.

If you feel like you've got to take that kind of action against a helpless person, you're one sick dude in my view.
