Gallery owner who casually hosed down homeless woman camped outside his upmarket San Francisco business defends himself

The owner of an art gallery in San Francisco who was caught on camera spraying a homeless woman with a hosepipe has defended his actions.

In footage shared on social media, Collier Gwin, who runs Foster Gwin Gallery in the Financial District, leans against the gate of a restaurant and continues to spray the woman, despite her yelping with discomfort.

Local businesses were quick to condemn his actions, while scores of enraged social media users left dreadful reviews online – causing the gallery’s rating on Google to plunge to just one star.

What do people expect to happen when authorities abandon responsibility?
