During the pandemic, lavatorys all over the town 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 plus the showers plus lavatorys were included. The only locale with lavatorys seemed to be the beach plus everyone was scrambling to use them. The mobile lavatorys plus portable toilets were set up by the beach access parking lots. The town was trying to supply lavatorys for tourists, but the homeless set up a camp numerous 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 woman to answer the call. I wish it had been someone else. I ended up in the middle of a actually nasty situation. Two homeless women were fighting over the portable lavatory. One woman wanted to sleep in the lavatory plus the other woman wanted to use the toilet. The gentlemen started fighting plus 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 our direction. I had to threaten to taser both gentlemen before they would calm down plus stop yelling plus screaming. I’m thankful that I don’t have to deal with those problems anymore.
