The Examiner's AlSaracevic writes that in the case of Sean Messer and countless others 'sadly, amazingly, shockingly considering our homeless spending budget, there's really nowhere to take mentally ill homeless people in San Francisco.'
I heard him most every day around noon, yelling and screaming at the top of his lungs in the alley below my office window. It was “F this” and “F that” and other choice words, a stream of profanity spilling forth from his troubled mind.
“He would come around about lunchtime, and then cuss out everyone or cuss in the general area of everyone. He wasn’t really cussing at anyone,” said Dave Carter, a security guard at the Merchants Exchange Building on California Street. “One time, when I went out and talked to him about making too much noise, he broke down crying, saying ‘I got problems, I got problems’ over and over. He really wasn’t a disagreeable guy.”And this is the shame of San Francisco.
Sadly, amazingly, shockingly considering our homeless spending budget, there’s really nowhere to take mentally ill homeless people in San Francisco. And the police are at wits’ end. It all speaks to the desperate need for a statewide mental health system, funded with help from the feds. The problem is just too big for San Francisco to solve on its own.
“We are so fed up with the situation,” said Alfred Schilling, who owns Schilling & Co. Cafe right across the street from where Messer was found. “You know I feel very sorry for these people. I see a regular lady, who is probably around 50, sleep in the doorway over there. Why we cannot help these people? You know it is shameless. We make them live like animal and nobody do anything.”
