- A moving company crew dumped a truckload of furniture and appliances on Los Angeles' blighted Skid Row overnight, giving the items away to anyone who could carry them. KTLA's Rachel Menitoff reports. July 3, 2024.
KTLA 5 News - Keeping Southern Californians informed since 1947.
The fact it happened at midnight says it all
This is a great idea. I'm going to do this.
It took them all day to load the truck😂
It was the time you were conceived and that says it all
The "thrift" stores are mad they couldn't make money off these donations
Ha!! Love this one
True
Bingo.
What relationship are they talking about when there big corporations or “agencies” who’d make money off of it never get back to Donors with pics or evidence that it was donated to an individual who was in need of furniture all they have is dollar bills in there eyes
Exactly everybody’s mad because they didn’t get their hands on it first
Donating a refrigerator to homeless people. Seriously? Do you believe we're stupid?
people didn't pay the removalist company . I've meet people in the industry .. They hold stuff if you don't pay and do this kinda thing ... Any money ....
Go take a walk around Skid Row & count how many appliances you see. It will blow your mind.
It’s not like they’re choosing the specific items to donate. They just pulled up and let them take all the stuff off the truck. not everything is a conspiracy theory, man. The homeless are going to try to get some metal out of that refrigerator and sell it.
I saw a portable jacuzzi in full operation on the sidewalk one time , they’ll make it work 😂
I saw 2 black guys playing table tennis on San Julian 😂😂😂this afternoon
Make your bets now.
Why was the fact that they were black interesting enough to make it a point?
Because they were black, I talked to them, as is a mass majority on skid row , go down if you don't believe me
@@zbuiz-cu7lv Who cares what Color they were.. The comment was pointless..
Saw 2 guys playing ping pong!
I agree 👍, so don't make it a big deal
Customers must have not paid their service and they just “threw it away” 😂
They said they requested they donate it.
@@Interdimensionaltravelagent that stuff looks too good to be discarded like that. Probably payback/revenge act. Easily could’ve flipped that stuff.
Or Customer refused to pay the "additional costs" that came up AFTER everything was loaded...
you pay up front for it most companies take a deposit for the drive you pay the rest for them to take it in your home.
@@robertking3090 “card declined”
I wonder if the homeless people there felt that this was 'illegal dumping.'...
Free furniture?!?!?! The City would have paid $20 million for it!!!!!
You won the internet
the biggest news story is how can the city allow something like skid row to exist.
Because a lot of people are financially benefiting the longer people are homeless and the more people become homeless.
The affordable housing complex industry is manipulating our society so that there is a huge demand for state-sponsored, taxpayer funded housing.
Nonprofits, partners, and government agencies not only benefit from high salaries and retirements but act as a hub for profitable vendors in the homeless services industry.
Skid Row has been around for decades though, through both Democratic and Republican leadership in the city. It’s just a thing and always will be
I’ve always wondered that too. And it’s been there forever. Weird.
Non-profits are profitable
Down town is a dump
LOL. I see what you did there!
MacArthur Park is getting worst
LA is a dump
yup and brand new outdoor IKEA showroom? lol the entire street or section would be like that and would cause the metro buses stuck there.
Look who’s the mayor and she’s running again what a 🤡
He just wanted his cut of the pie from selling the donations instead of them getting handed out
Facts!!!
🎯
Make sense to me- cause those donation centers are definitely not giving stuff out for free. They’re going to make a profit.
Jeff is mad because he’s not getting his kick back
Exactly -it’s the profits they want
Exactly
Mad AF
A homeless group having access to a BBQ grill... What can go wrong? 🙃
@@katiegreen7571 JUMPING JESUS JUJITSU THEY MAY EAT MEAT LIKE NORMIES
All I hear are two organizations that wanted a piece of the pie. The city of LA will just clean it all up when they host the Olympics 🤨
L.A. is long gone.
Don't underestimate Americans
Has been most of my 61 years of life.
La is like TJ
@@smacdiesel🧢🧢🧢🧢🧢🧢🧢🧢
Since 2012
Crazy to hear Karen bASS talk about wanting to hold the moving company accountable when she can’t even hold herself accountable.
🤡
You made my day with this comment, if this isn't true then I don't know what is!😹
@ 2: 57, - How's a homeless person going to fit a huge GUN SAFE into their tent?
They have flat screen s and couches
Customer probably refused to pay the "additional costs" that came up AFTER everything was loaded. Seen it happen before.
The business will KEEP the stuff and the right people will NEVER see any of the products…
He can’t drive his Mercedes without your donations
I threw new furnitures because the donation collectors don’t want to pick up the items !!!!!!
Looks like all the items were taken and used right away. Nothing wrong with that.
Greg, please look long term. Smfh. Does homelessness on city streets bother you or do you think they have a “right”to live where ever ??
@@OldJoeBlowsIf upperclass people like yourself continue to ignore and act oblivious to the homeless by neglect and not meeting thier needs medical and financial support helping them get back on their feet and back into society then yes they should live where ever they choose, people like you and politicians only care about your own personal space and comfort and you only view homelessness as a problem when they block your mental view of your perfect world
@@OldJoeBlowsand I know dozens of ex homeless people that actually did get the help they needed and got back in their feet to a middle class status and some to upper class citizen but they only made it back to society because at least one person didn't turn a blind eye
“Yo my man….you wanna buy a grill?”
All that stuff will be sold or traded for drugs and alcohol.
To who?
@@kristinawong it's a barter system on the street, eventually those will be turned into something they want.
Beers 🍻
did ever occur to anybody that the fact that you're doing something that shady at night means you're up to no good
Protocol has changed since Covid really unfortunate and YES it is hard to find companies to pick up items.
They probably tried the bait and switch with the owners of the stuff and the owners wouldn't play, so they dumped it all on Skid Row.
Someone across the country is waiting for this stuff to be delivered
Wow. Someone lost all their home furniture. Imagine trying to get
Hell na these organizations keep it all... help the need it was a nice thing to do!
Downtown is dump any ways
Theyre moving out of the apartment to skid row, cant afford rent anymore
madness , they dont like other people showing them how to do there job because than they cant rip off the state, with these "programs" and channels that lead to just a cycle of homelessness
Probably when the owner of all this stuff told the movers he wanted to donate all of it he probably assumed they were going to take it to Goodwill or the Salvation Army, not just dump it on Skid Row.
The people at the top of those agencies drive Mercedes and new cars from show rooms
NAH THEY HATING
Right. They're going to use the furniture.
Haaa
Right - they want the profit from it lol
They just mad they won't get a piece of the action.
MOVING COMPANY DID NOT DUMP ANYTHING IN DTLA
CLICK BAIT VIDEO TITLE
PEOPLE WERE REMOVING ITEMS FROM A MOVING TRUCK IN DTLA
NOTHING WAS DUMPED THERE BY ANYONE
C'MON
Yeah, that's someone's household goods that were either stolen or went unclaimed
If it was stolen it would’ve been sold for green dollars. They gave it away for free
legendary ... Pay us or we will give your stuff away for free .. Gangster ...
It’s not illegal if someone takes it. Just saying
Moving company hit the customers with a surprise 10k fee for an extrotion fee on top of the 3k they already paid, moving companies are not paid to donate an entire truckload.
greatest country in the world, they say ...
Non Stop Random Shoo ting, Mass Shoo ting, School Shoo ting, Road Rage Shoo ting, Smash and Grab Loo ting, Homelessness, Carjacking, they've got it all ...
Check out that two-piece sectional 🛋️
I like that people donate directly because by the time it goes through all these agencies very little of it makes it to the street.
I think this was extremely humane to do so those people could find at least a tiny smidgen amount of comfort within their living on survival level 365 days a year.
They live with hate by the public as profitable organizations create this situation!
When making outside looks like inside
It was an illegal dumping. Put all of these people in prison.
Wow
you mean county jail..
Probably a moving company that didn't get paid and coming up with a cover story.
lol, for littering? LA doesn't even go after rapists and murderers
You just get fined.
So with his "logic"... Nobody should show up & want to get rid of some food because no bond was created.
They basically split the money the company gave them for the dump fee, Case Closed. tf is the homeless goin to do with a washing machine , furniture with no property to take it to 😂😂😂
Whatever they want
@@roccitysoundllc3404 That's right whatever they want into the clean up crew goes through DTLA again.......
lol
@ 1:11 the Owners requested for their items to be Donated and apparently per the Movers Discretion.
It appears this was at the location of the union rescue mission. This just created a nuisance and more blight for them. It appears that their building is very tidy and they are trying to keep the area nice. They don’t deserve this. It was also very rude and undignified. This was not a donation, it was purely a dump. The City Attorney needs to prosecute the moving company.
…….the answer is birth control in the drinking water. 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
That moving company knows better. Shame on them.
There's the "dignified" part of Skid Row and the parts that don't.
I think most people are going to use the furniture.
this is why one does not hire movers. family probably just lost all their stuff... move along.
That old dudes mad he just didn't get his 30% off the top. He can ingest an entire bag of Richards!
if it was real dump and pump they would have opened the rear door and peeled out
Right, they wouldn’t have cared about being careful, nor would they pick a populated area🤷🏾♂️
Illegal dump
Definitely a well-intentioned donation
If organizations were trustworthy and efficient ppl would probably utilize them more.
It is their new address 😂😂😂
Was nice furniture 😂
"Illegal dumping in under-resourced neighborhoods?"
Or giving to the poor, you know, like Jesus said?
NO ONE has a monopoly on charity.
They're *all* hypocrites, well-meaning or not, legal or not.
And it's all about the $.
Guess whose going to pay when the trash gets cleaned up ?
Donating to Goodwill for them to mark up your donated items at extreme high prices. Not cool
It's not well intentioned, they are just saving themselves a trip to the dump.
Beautiful! The gift that keeps on giving. Mayor Karen Bass is the best! 😂
Lol did someone stole that loaded Uhaul ??
I'm surprised a bon fire wasn't made from that.
Hopefully the charitable person taxes a nice tax deduction
Illegal dump.
Lets be real donation sights get first dibs and whatever those employees dont want gets passed on
It was probably a stolen uhaul from a hotel. I’ve seen stories of this happening recently. Why would you Saran Wrap some of the tables to just give it away ? Stolen!!
CEO is pissed because he doesn't make any money off of it.
Let me guess, they didn’t pay the moving company
Well the mayor did say that she was going to help the homeless 😂
Donations are donations, now you guys are calling it illegal because y'all didn't make money off of a real act of kindness. Imagine being the person broadcasting this, yeah i would be embarrassed to even put my face on here to call this illegal dumping.
Nobody has to partner and follow your rules
so that's the yard sale giveaway in Skid Row
Whole LA is a big dump.
zombies everywhere
Newsom says thank you from the homeless.
LA is a dumping ground.
They did not dump it. They were giving it away
Giving it away by dumping it by the side of the street
The homeless are supposed to be getting OFF the streets, NOT bringing furnitue and items for their use to stay.
I like eggs…
Reminds me of the movie Lord of War where Nicholas Cage lands his airplane in the middle of the road and gives away free ammunition to the local tribes.
I need a big caninet for clothes. I have nowhere to put it. Why didnt they let people know? Anyone trying to get rid of a black cabinet please let me know
I wonder whose stuff that is.
Even if was a donation, it’s still an illegal dump. Can’t do that, they went too far. The people responsible for having it dumped here instead of reasonably donated need to do a little time.
A month or 2.. because creating pikes of dirty street trash isn’t helpful. Stop making excuses for these people. They need to be charged and punished.
I would help every single homeless person I could if I wasn’t broke… this is just dumping trash. Not helping.
I wonder what their Yelp reviews look like?
I say it was a stolen truck
Same thing what I said too, why will somebody give away "free furniture" for no reason we're living in a greediness era life nowadays where nobody helps people anymore there is no way some random person give away free furniture to a bunch of dirty homelessness there's more to the story more than meets the eye🤔???
What a dump
Let me find out next time , I need a couch table and t.v
It was definitely a dump but a win for those people😅
I know that there are better ways to help, but not all needy folks know about them, where to go, what questions are asked, or most importantly, have no transportation to get there. I kinda like just putting it out there on first come basis. You know California has billions of dollars in surplus money....maybe show the rest of the country soon how to really fight back and win the problem of homelessness in your state.
So if you have money it’s called illegal dumping and you can be fined $10k.
If you’re homeless and leave all your trash on the sidewalk it’s ok. In fact the city will drop off a portable toilet for you too.
Tired of this town.
@1:15 that Jeff looks wealthy AF
Zombies swarmed the truck.. no survivors found.
It would have been better to donate to an organisation thrift store
No YOU CAN'T SURVIVE without donations people like him get kick backs for a donation center I don't see how it's bad to give your furniture away on the street but there is always somebody to condem that
He wanted it himself definitely. ONLY 13-14% of ANY donations goes to the right people at the end of the chain, and this is a FACT!! All this people in white clothes in front of the big stores, asking for donations remember?? They didn’t stand there for free I rather give a couple of bucks to the person on the street than leave my change at supermarket checkout
A homeless camp is going to be styling large
Of course it was dumped!!!
ENFORCE THE DAMN LAW!!!!
Judas wanted to sell the perfume that Mary pour on Jesus feet..Which Jesus knew that wasn't true.I love Jesus Christ. My Lord and Savior
The big question is why if mentally ill and elderly already have paychecks do we consider them homeless?? Homeless resources should be around giving them jobs, not giving them prescriptions and free housing to take advantage of the checks they already get
Whose life was better 5 years ago under Trump.,??
Moving companies are regulated by CPUC. What's the name of the moving company?
