Only On: Van Nuys woman distressed as homeless man keeps staking claim of her front porchA Van Nuys woman is at wit's end with a homeless man that continues to find his way back to her front porch, taking over it as if it was his own.

Even though she's called police several times, Shacola Thompson is worried that man will just keep coming back. So far she's caught him sitting on her furniture, smoking and sleeping on her porch - even leaving a graffiti tag outside of her front door. Her doorbell camera has caught the man making himself at home on many occasions over the past month, counting at least 10 visits thus far.On Thursday, her camera alerted her that he was on her porch a little before sunrise, prompting her to call police once again. They told him to leave, but he returned hours later, resulting in another call to authorities.

"If we get another call here again today you're gonna go to jail alright," one of the officers can be heard telling the man as he walked away from Thompson's porch.

Only if it were in Florida...

Absurd that a homeowner would be forced to tolerate this. I think in this situation, I would decide to de-stress by cultivating a new hobby. Knitting, for instance. Or perhaps hornet breeding. I hear hornets like building nests under porches.

Your tweet was quoted in an article by eurweb

This is what you get with Democratic rule

I would get creative with this one.... -pit bull -motion detection sprinkler -motion detection lights/sounds -baby shark song

Lol. She probably voted for the government who runs her city. America is 100% sold out to Satan now and it will only GET WORSE! But that's what Americans wanted. America along with the people from Melbourne Australia are led by the most evil men and woman in government on earth.

Hand him a job application and pair of work boots.

If you were in Arizona, this story would have taken a completely different turn. I would give him a notice. Ammunition is at an all time high. A warning shot is not cost effective anymore.

You have gun laws , you are aloud to defend yourself. When he comes back next time just shot him for fear of your live and trespass.

Get a Rottweiler. Be sure to bring him out with you every time you head out. Be sure he is well trained to attack on command. Give the command.

Server him eviction paper for failing to pay rent

I'm sorry you live in a Democratic Sanctuary City that is your choice so you must live with the consequences if you don't like it MOVE or Vote differently. The USA is a Large country and nobody will stop you from moving. that's the price of paradise.

If she votes blue, she deserves what she gets.

Who buys a house in Van Nuys and not expect this kind of mess

WELL, we know that home is owned by a white person because it would be a very different situation if it was a Black household. WE DONT PLAY with fools like that. 👀👀👀👀👀

ya get what ya vote for.....

Start a go fund me for him rent him a place elsewhere and send him on his way. He doesn't look like he wants to be there perhaps he doesn't know where to get help. Call a local Church. Maybe other porches he camped on the people were more aggressive.

well maybe she is reaping what her voting sows....good luck in surviving the future rape/home invasion .

Turn on the sprinklers, Buy a German Shepard. He is already peeing and shitting in the bushes.

First, he needs to be taken to be evaluated, as she said. He may have a mental illness. Second, once we know who he is, a legal citizen..., then he should be taken to what we used to have, a 'Poor House.' We must have better conditions than in the past.

Tax paying law abiding citizens have zero rights in California, criminals, junkies and gangbangers have more rights than they do, hell seems they have just as much Rights to home owners property as the home owner, California is definitely going communist. Why everyone is leaving

I'm sure if she was in a wealthier part of the town, there wouldn't be a second phone call. She would've been taken care of instantly.

Give him Nancy Pelosi's address...she has no problem with situations like this and will welcome him with open arms and designer ice cream.

I would put my speakers in the windows, and blast them on high volume, playing Quiet Riot band, 24X7. No problem

Ask the HOA to build an Iron Gate preventing him access or start a Go Fund Me and hire someone.

Thank you to all Democrats for turning our great cities into this.

The answer is a BIG ball bat. 👍

'Christian Bible'; Matthew 25; 35-45 35 For I was hungry and you gave ..., I was thirsty and you gave ..., I was a stranger and you invited ..., 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’

Very disturbing! Would it be possible for the homeowner to install some sort of fencing/gating as a protective measure?

pepper spray may help if police don't. also a dog could do the trick

In Texas we call that trespassing and he would be promptly removed by the police. But California is a bit different with its democratic liberalism and very loose criminal laws. I lived in California for while in graduate school could not wait to leave after graduation.

Cold bucket of water would fix him…

I can only see this kind of thing happening more and more. It happened to someone in Woodland Hills(?) recently. Camping on her front yard 😱

bear mace him

Looks more like he's waiting for the rest of the work crew to arrive... She wasn't having work done, was she?

That is I, dreaming I have a better life.

Turn the sprinkler on him

Borrow a friends dog and scare tf out of him or even a harmless snack ,black men are cowards when it comes to snack attacks with a little milk of magnesium in it.

Also cbs news keep continuing to SHAME Los Angeles for allowing this. The feces throwing vagrant in Sherman Oaks was seen all the way to NY news

My son owns a airsoft gun pop pop he would prob leave after that

Living in the valley.. anything you leave out front is subject to be stolen .. sad reality we are in with these vagrants

MayorOfLA ?

😲😡🤬

People say vote better, many mayors are Republicans, they only blame the governor lol change the governor, they will still blame the past policies

But she probably voted for newsom, and Gascon. So she should just let him live there.

Take the furniture off the porch n put glass down. Go adopt a dog. Press charges for r tress pass. Fireworks. Sticky traps stink bomb. Bright flood lights. Wet it with bleach. Etc

KAGMOM2 Get a big dog…..

Imagine calling the police to solve homelessness lmfao. Should've called a homeless liason instead. Police don't solve problems, especially homelessness. She wants her neighborhood cleaned up how? By dropping him off on someone else's street corner?

paintball gun will do the trick

Awsome proud of you women

Play classical music like 7-11

Bear spray him

This is ridiculous and scary! I would start by moving my furniture inside and then calling the police every time he stepped foot onto my property. I would also invite some male friends/relatives over to speak to him. Also, isn’t defacing someone’s property a crime?

Get a 602 trespassing notice when he comes back have him arrested

Karen WTF send me the address I'll send him on his way 😤 SMH

Maybe…. just talk to the guy. He’s a human being like anyone else. It doesn’t take much to become homeless. Rent in CA is beyond astronomical. We are all humans.

He wants a better life. He's trying to dream himself a better life. Help the guy have a better life.

Have him paint, mow da lawn, clean up the front area, water brown areas of grass. Give him a sleeping bag and a bag o chips

nithyavraman - what will you do? Is this another attack on your refusal to aid help constituents We’re not asking you to criminalize the unhoused, we’re asking you to uphold basic laws on trespassing. We’re sick of this bullshit!

They have more rights than hard working citizens, we should all stop paying property taxes until our streets and homes are safe

DyingVenice adamcarolla

“Searching for answers”? We all know how we wound up at this point. Looking at you, Eric Garcetti.

Maybe she should start offering breakfast, lunch and dinner and also offer a furnished room and a bathroom he can use? She can do better!

Call Governor Newsom he'll take care of the problem. Lol.

I blame climate change.

Kind of a risk when the homeowner stated she lived alone.

Sooo that’s not trespassing? Isn’t there a law in this country for trespassing. But I know an 80yr old veteran who was evicted out of his home he rented for 30yrs and never missed a payment. Go figure

She should just give him a key and put him on her taxes bc in CA he basically owns the place anyway

Yet we have CD6Nury signaling on Twitter all day but not giving a fvck about her district.

He seems like a nice guy. He’s not bothering anyone.

Smear honey or dog poo all over your patio furniture. He' won't enjoy that!!!

The police arrest him and then what? He’s released the next day and out on her porch or YOURS! LA seriously needs to vote better.

Omi_082 BUY A VERY BIG AND AGGRESSIVE DOG !!!

Vote better.

Call Gavin Newsom

Simple answer, STOP VIRTUE SIGNALING AT THE BALLOT BOX! This is exactly what happens when progressive policies meet reality!

Nothing a brick can't fix

The article makes it seem the police was only called once on the trespasser. If he shows up again I’d suggest for her to call the local police authorities.

Call the cops. If that doesn’t work, buy a pit bull.
