Last week, an antique dealer in the city was caught on video spraying the woman with water outside of his business. The incident was captured by a bystander and posted online – which generated outrage.

“What they saw is very regrettable. I feel awful, not just because I want to get out of trouble…but because I'd put a tremendous amount of effort into helping this woman.” @KPIXtv

On Monday’s edition of The Five on Fox News, the cohosts discussed homelessness nationwide when the video was brought into the conversation.
While discussing the issues that communities face while dealing with large numbers of homeless people, Gutfeld said he has been a longtime advocate for “autonomous” areas where people can engage in vagrancy.
“I would support this, it’s what I have been talking about for a while, an autonomous zone for people who wish to be homeless,” he said. “This is where you can go and practice this experimental lifestyle. And if you are back in the city panhandling, we will take you back there. Or we will get you help. But you are going to go back to that place because that’s where it is legal.”
