Report it to the police?

Thomas -

I also love at 725 Walnut (this is chris in 2b). We need to band together on this. I've contacted Chops with no luck and have called homeless outreach (all they do is deliver them hot food when I call).

Hey Chris....ah cool to know your name LOL....u must be Henry's Dad? Yea last night when I walked Zeke, there were 3 different people sleeping there, and Chops was still open; I mean that's what needs to be addressed. Why is Chops allowing it to happen? We def really need to do something; I called the cops one Sunday morning when I watched them shooting up and the cops never even came out??? I just don't know what to do next since nobody else seems to care......and I've even seen one of our neighbors from 721 Walnut Street over there hanging out with them on the steps, like they were friends.....it just encourages them to keep coming back if they think they are welcome!

I contacted Chops via their Facebook page 2-3 weeks ago with these same concerns. Whoever runs their page (I assume their manager) responded that the best he can do is keep the lights on as he has tried to bribe them to keep them away with no luck. From what I've seen, the lights to their main entrance are sometimes on, the lights to the entrance across from our door are either never on or are very weak.

What was just the two of them on one step has turned into 3-6 on any given night between the two sets of stairs. Just last week, I heard them arguing.. "You have a fu&^%ng bag of heroin on you!, you need to get up".

I have never seen them shoot up directly, but have seen them taking turns covering themselves with blankets while the other plays lookout. Sometimes they are obviously messed up out of their minds (staring off into space and falling over while struggling to sit up, etc..). One such time prompted me to call homeless outreach (the only non-emergency number I could find, in hindsight I should have and shall just call 911 directly), who as I said before, just brought them food and nothing more.

At the very least, there has to me more Chops can do to prevent them from squatting on their property.

Came home from dinner tonight around 8 and saw them shooting up. Called the cops immediately with a full description of their appearances and location. It's now 10pm and no sign of any cops (except for the squad car literally 25 yards away blocking traffic for the construction zone). I love how you can over-park by 5 minutes 10 feet in front of these steps and PPA is all over you, but if you are openly using illegal drugs it seemingly requires a mayoral mandate to have get anything done.

I don't understand why the cops don't do anything-When those go into starbucks to use the bathroom they often leave their needles in there-that's so dangerous. It's all so ridiculous

they are gone-wonder where
