## Resource

A brutal, recorded attack on homeless man Douglas Mark—shown in chilling surveillance footage—left him permanently brain-damaged after two young men urinated on him, then punched and kicked him while laughing. Both attackers, aged 18 and 21, pleaded guilty to felony elder abuse with great bodily injury but received suspended prison sentences: four years probation and 364 days in county jail, plus a social media ban. In a powerful community response, neighbors are rallying to provide housing and fund his care, while the District Attorney laments the leniency.
