The guys started fighting and then they started throwing things at each other.
During the pandemic, bathrooms all over the city were closed down. One reason was to slow the spread of Covid. The disease was spreading quickly, especially in the homeless population. They didn’t have face masks, hand sanitizer, or access to medicine. They weren’t being safe or protected. All of the public parks were closed down and the showers and bathrooms were included. The only place with bathrooms seemed to be the beach and everyone was scrambling to use them. The mobile bathrooms and portable toilets were set up by the beach access parking lots. The city was trying to provide bathrooms for tourists, but the homeless set up a camp three hundred feet from the portable toilets. I worked for the sheriff last year when I got a call about a disturbance by the beach. I responded to the call. I had to be the person to answer the call. I wish it had been someone else. I ended up in the middle of a really nasty situation. Two homeless men were fighting over the portable bathroom. One guy wanted to sleep in the bathroom and the other guy wanted to use the toilet. The guys started fighting and then they started throwing things at each other. I was called down there to keep the peace. I tried to break up the fight, but I got things thrown in my direction. I had to threaten to taser both guys before they would calm down and stop yelling and screaming. I’m thankful that I don’t have to deal with those problems anymore.
