A homeless man in San Francisco has sparked outrage in his community after placing two signs outside his tent home that read,
“Free fentanyl 4 new users,”
and
“Meth for stolen items,”
reports FOX News.
The man’s name is Joseph Adam Moore and according to the Chronicle, he
“identified himself as a registered sex offender.”
Reports reveal that
“court records from Santa Cruz County show he was convicted of unlawful sex with a minor in 1997 — and declined to say whether he carries illicit drugs.”
Moore has reportedly faced five arrests since 2007 due to his failure to notify authorities about his address.
He asked reporters,
“It’s happening, right? Why can’t I do it?”
referring to the illicit drugs.
“Is this sacred ground?”
Nathaniel Weiner, a parent in the neighborhood, said Moore’s tent attracted
“up to a half dozen people who ‘made the curb their home.'”
He said,
“People brought barbecues, a beach umbrella, and even a dune buggy that sat on the pavement,”
Weiner claims. He said the drug users would
“[create] a Burning Man-style party ‘in [the] quiet residential neighborhood where people are just trying to live their lives.'”
According to the Chronicle, Moore has been getting into frequent arguments with police lately. However, the police in San Francisco couldn’t find any reports of incidents at Moore’s campsite, and there haven’t been any records of Moore getting arrested in the past three months, as per a spokesperson.
He remains at his post, which is reportedly located near, Stella Maris Academy, a San Francisco Catholic school, and a public library.
