9:51Now PlayingA group of vigilantes is organizing to protect grocery shoppers from panhandlers. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian break it down. Brought to you by An Inconvenient SequelTruth To Power
“Customers entering a Ralphs in Chatsworth Saturday were greeted by members of a Facebook page who held a “Safe Shopping Day” calling attention to panhandling and homelessness in the area.
“We’ve had a lot of concerns about the aggressive panhandling issue, the homeless using the entrance to Ralphs as a bathroom, and people have stopped shopping here and are going to other areas, which is bad for our community,” said Cher Bentley, 43, an area resident who runs the Chatsworth Neighborhood Pride page. “Instead of people being scared and running off, we thought we would come here and escort people who feel unsafe. We want people to shop in our community without being fearful.”
About 40 people attended the event, in front of the Ralphs on Devonshire Street. The Facebook group members initially planned to escort shoppers to the supermarket and other stores, but conversations with customers ended up happening instead.”
