The homeless have formed a community on the banks of the Santa Ana River but now the county has plans to clear away their tents michael j. Deal and the others plan to fight it. But do they have a chance. To see. Early morning in Orange County the campus slowly coming to life. Here about eight hundred people live in the tents here close to the dried out river bed. Michael j. Deal known as m. J. Has been living here for about four years or. This community is no different than the apartment complex or any other community. But you get the you get drug addicts you get good people you go bad people. Look different. But thats. It get out of life what you put into it if you want to be a junkie then youll figure out that the job. Will be successful your way out of the yacht club. Nobody here can afford a roof over their heads let alone a yacht club membership. Its easier to live in a park than in the city where theyre always getting chased away and tents are hardly ever allowed theyd been hoping theyd be left in peace here. M. J. Knows nearly everyone here im going to back a place with the will that get. Are you going to go over to the. Old ill be right back to go get to that right now or i could be right back after their little. Little m. J. Had found a new family among the people on the river banks but now his tent has been cleared away. And. The county authorities have started breaking up the camp officially for security and environmental reasons in jays gas canisters bicycle guitar and dog food are all gone i dont even know what they stored what was valued to me may not a bit valuable to them. Hes hoping his belongings have been stored in this container. That there is no locks on any of it. Although there is a lot im sorry shit. When the police cleared his camp the stress and anxiety were too much for him he says he had a seizure and cant remember what happened he tries to find out some details from his neighbors. In two thousand and nine m. J. Was shot and wounded that the bullet is still inside his head. Well i never seen the intruder never heard the shot never seen the gun not that. All i remember was going to the. Out towards the back door. To let the kitchen. And i see the door jam of the laundry room coming up for the back door is and its lights out. And if i got to go ill get that quick. I dont want to see a camelot a lot of build. Up now m. J. Is unable to work hes dependent on medications to survive and now theyre gone. He often encounters locals who complain about the homeless situation. With quite a lot about a god like that see i dont like the dog thats the problem but what im saying is you need to open your eyes a lot more ive been homeless ive been down to thats why i say that person would ask and. Thats my opinion i thank you maam i do not want to get in trouble really in talking to a group in maine that is correct thank you voice and to others in stress that like the role of your standing like this your straight your voice and your opinion i know and im across the line here rush and be well so you are in very thats why i might infect your writing might i dont think i have. That youll have a majority bigger here are all doped up oh oh really i do oh oh yes i have a second rate youre not is that further by. Oh i do all the sleaze say theres probably about sixty percent of the people out here that owner self and really did yeah. But the rest now dont know maybe Something Like this but theyre all on drugs to let me be functioning drug addicts for them over with that were not all noisome i know that the majority i think the majority is one percent for drugs crime and violence are part of life here. But the homeless say they look out for one another. Stacey says even as a woman she feels safer here than on the streets. Just in the water thats water. She shares the tent with a friend she would have liked to stay even though there are not enough toilets or showers. Where are we supposed to go you know do they want to surrender their shops and on the sidewalks and on the street so they can arrest us there whats the difference. I would say i would think that they would rather have us all in one place then than if i had their stores in and parking lots. Why not. But i guess not. Human rights lawyers are helping the Homeless People here file a complaint against the county government. They argue that given the shortage of Emergency Shelter space their tents cant legally be removed m. J. Goes to see a lawyer he knows ali has agreed to help the homeless for free m. J. Asked for his help in getting his medications back. Without those bills or lives in danger. To. The. Donald how are you i have an urgent urgent urgent favor to ask. Do you know m. J. Hes your own speaker and ive got him with me what i need to ask from you is if you can call ted at public works and tell him that its life or death that he needs his medication his entire month supply is gone. The lawyer believes the county has violated their civil rights. And they want everybody to be out of there its because they dont want people on the riverbed and thats because first of all its the countys jurisdiction the county has jurisdiction over the Flood Control channel the second people are no longer on the Flood Control tunnel dots are the characteristics and so politically its not their problem. The county would not make any statements to the camera. M. J. Spotted a guitar in the Lawyers Office hes been a passionate guitar player since he was ten years old it brings you joy. The lawyer said he could spend the night in his office. The next morning like almost every morning the sheriffs are at the camp going from tent to tent ordering their occupants to clear the area. If any of them is on probation or even such a minor offense as this could get them arrested. I know you know what medication. For and yes like many of the homeless given and pack their things but some stay put. I feel that in a matter of couple years it had to be illegal to be over us so i feel i mean theres leaving us with all of phils no place to go. We feel violated a rule whatever happened to. The land of the free. And its its hard. The county grounds workers are ready to move in. And jay is back at the park. The calls from the lawyer have produced results the police unlock the container that he thinks may hold his belongings. But. That. To him james relief hes recovered his bicycle and guitars. Love it. And even the pills for his dog star mask. But no matter how thoroughly he searches his tent he cant find his own medication. Are ever going to. The authorities lock his things back into the container but they made sure his medication would be replaced. He wont be allowed to put his tent up in the park anymore under threat of arrest. So where does he go from here m. J. Relies on fate and god i know he left me here for a purpose maybe if only death by. I have no hard find out what is reasons that give me extra time if that means. Soon after a judge ruled that the camp could be cleared but Orange County would have to offer the Homeless Hotel vouchers for thirty days after that most will probably have to look for someplace else and just hope theyll be allowed to stay.
