The deaths of two unhoused Black men on opposite coasts highlight a growing anti-homeless sentiment and rhetoric across the country.
The deaths of two unhoused Black men on opposite coasts — Banko Brown, shot outside of a San Francisco Walgreens, and Jordan Neely, choked aboard a New York subway — highlight a growing anti-homeless sentiment and rhetoric across the country.
In January, San Francisco prosecutors charged art gallery owner Collier Gwin with misdemeanor battery after he sprayed an unhoused woman with a hose. “The rhetoric dehumanizing folks leaves them not only more likely to have these horrible things happen to them but also renders them less able to ask for the same protections that other people do,” Kushel told The Examiner.
Nima Momeni's lawyer sorry for calling Bob Lee the 'Walgreens of recreational drugs' “I regret that I characterized the autopsy toxicology screen in such an insensitive and cavalier way" “I just can’t imagine it,” she added. “I can’t imagine Brooke Jenkins coming out with this if it was a similar business person that was walking out of Walgreens and got shot on the street.”
