Screencap of Twitter/X video.

In August, the Gateway Pundit brought you a story about a woman who was horrified to see a massive homeless encampment outside of her son’s college dorm in Berkeley when she was dropping him off for school. The story and the woman’s video tweet went viral.

A few weeks later, it was learned that the city had been trying to clean up the encampment but was being stopped by the so-called ‘Berkeley Homeless Union’ which was suing the city to keep it intact.

The city has finally managed to clear it. Better late than never, right?

‘Bulldozers and hazmat suits’: Large, disease-ridden homeless camp near UC Berkeley finally cleared

Berkeley city officials have been trying for years to shut down a large and disease-ridden homeless encampment next to UC Berkeley. They finally got their wish.

Earlier this week, “police and city officials descended on the controversial site with bulldozers and hazmat suits to evict 21 unhoused Berkeley residents following a court order from a federal judge stemming from a longstanding legal battle,” the Daily Californian student newspaper reported.

The infamous encampment had gone viral once again in late August thanks to a video taken by a parent dropping her son off at UC Berkeley that showed large camping tents, trash, sleeping bags, garbage, tarps, dirty mattresses, bikes and other debris piled up in heaps and spilling out into the street for several blocks.

The encampment had been officially deemed a fire hazard by public officials, with community services also noting “dead rats all over the streets,” as well as regular instances of “visible bodily fluids and feces” on the ground, as The College Fix reported.

It was also the location of a leptospirosis outbreak.

It’s a good thing Berkeley finally got their act together on this.

It certainly took long enough.
