Iranian Homeless In California (Video)
Desperately looking for the Iranian Homeless in LA; is it a myth or reality?
There was atleast one homeless man named "reza" that I had often talked to at the coffeebean on Westwood Blvd. Sadly,a few months ago, I read in local Santa Monica paper that a homeless man named"reza" had been killed by a black teenager at a Santa Monica park. I tried contacting the SMPD to inquire about this tragic event and whether any one had claimed his body for a proper burial.
Unfortunately I was not able to get anywhere and was later tied up with other commitments.
I still feel terrible about my inability to do something for this person and I am ashamed of us the Iranian community in general for having failed him and people like him. In this cruel town where people pride themselves in their gucci bags and shades(often fake) and leased mercedez and BMWS, this was a really sad commentary as to state of our solidarity as an immigrant group.
On a side note, when I discussed my emotions regarding the matter with this guy I was dating at the time, he ridiculed me and stated that people like "reza" deserve what they get. Needless to say, the idiot is history but my memories of my conversations with "reza" are not. May he rest in peace at last....
