HOMELESS PEOPLE IN BONANZA NEIGHBORHOOD

Welcome to This is Colombia News

• Pastureland in Bonanza Neighborhood

¿HOMELESS PEOPLE? ¿WHERE?

It’s easy to judge human beings for any kind of imperfection, fault or mistakes, but in this case we’re going to talk about a particular kind of people who are judged simply because they exist… The homeless people. Their appearance, smell, habits, but mostly their behavior makes that the rest of the people get uncomfortable with their presence and everything gets worse when they decide to act badly as when they rob someone or someone’s house, to get naked in front of everyone or when they decide surprisingly to defecate on any part of the street. This might not happen in United Sates, Italy or any first world country, but it happens in Colombia, specifically in Bonanza neighborhood.

Bonanza’s neighbors have reported several times to the police that homeless people use to invade the neighborhood, more often in a wide pastureland that is located next to the San Silvestre Church. They have reported this several times because once the police throw out the homeless, the next days they’ll come back again, so it has become an exhausting matter considering that that pastureland’s turned into an untidy, dirty, smelly and insecure place by these homeless people.

There are many neighbors’ testimonies which declare how they’ve been intimidated, harassed and even robbed by them. Moreover, they just enter to the blocks of the neighborhood and throw bottles, leftovers, clothes that they don’t use anymore and other kinds of trash turning the street into a complete mess. This is getting the neighbors really mad but unfortunately there’s no other way to solve this problematic situation that’s happening here since people have memory.
