On July 5th, 2011, a 37-year-old schizophrenic homeless man from Fullerton, California, named Kelly Thomas was beaten to within an inch of his life by several Fullerton Police Department officers. He passed away five days later, shortly after being taken off life support.
…Despite allegations that Thomas was uncooperative and combative, surveillance footage shown for the first time at yesterday’s preliminary hearing proves these claims are grossly inaccurate (beating starts at 15:20).

It is interesting to note plans by London councils to relocate homeless people on housing benefit to a location 200 km away. While not wishing to comment on issues outside the jurisdiction of this State, such a move is likely to be replicated here, as whatever happens in London follows here as sure as night follows day.
Moving people out of the city has been happening here for some time, even if in a subtle manner in some instances. A large number of homeless people we know ended up in prison for the high-profile visits of Queen Elizabeth and President Barack Obama.

I thought the Killiney eviction was bad but this is what I woke up to to (yesterday) morning [at Clarence Mangan Road in The Tenters, Dublin 8]….and she has a wee babbie!
Mmf.
We’ve seen this kind of thing before.
We’re huge fans of Skerries own illustrator and animator Eoin Ryan. Anything that increases the frequency of his output is a good thing.

Ossie/Ozzie, a homeless man well known to locals in Baggot Street passed away last week. He was always cheerful, and you’d never begrudge him a few quid. People have been remembering him at the Drive In Bank, where he could usually be found. A hard life caught up with him.

The best two-Kermit-Bowie-Mercury-ambidextrous-homeless-guy-mime you’ll see today.
Touching, inspiring, clearly staged, but in a very good cause. It’s a viral awareness-raiser for change.org. And, naturally, it has its own Josh Ellingson sketch.
Welcome to the internets, curiously talented homeless guy.
