LOS ANGELES - On Ventura Boulevard in Sherman Oaks, a homeless man angrily yells, "You want to have a fight?"
An unhoused woman walks back and forth saying, "Isis, Isis, Isis."
Yet another man, presumably under the influence of drugs, screams, "You gotta die, you gotta die, you gotta die!"
Business owner Paul Scrivano describes his community this way, "Every day, it’s like one flew over the cuckoo’s nest, literally a psych ward."
Scrivano is the owner of The Blue Dog Beer Tavern. He’s had about all he can take from a man who openly defecates on Ventura Boulevard.
"Every single morning, I’m wiping that off my property before I have to do business," Scrivano said.
As if that wasn’t bad enough, one morning, the unhoused man tossed a bag of his human waste onto Scrivano’s SUV.
