The San Francisco art gallery owner seen in a viral video spraying a homeless woman with water is defending his actions.
Pierce denounced Gwin's actions, saying no matter the frustration, the behavior is unacceptable.
"What if that was my mother, or what if that was my aunt? It's horrible to see it happen to anybody.""I find it hard to apologize when we've had no help with the situation.""You want people to respect you, you have to respect them." The incident happened outside of Barbarossa Lounge, which is next to the art gallery. The lounge's co-partner Arash Ghanadan says they are not affiliated with Gwin and released this statement in response to threats and negative response from the public.
"Barbarossa Lounge has been made aware of a video that has begun to circulate on social media, which was filmed outside of our small business. Barbarossa is in no way associated with the inhumane actions portrayed in the video. Upon investigation it appears the actions are those of a neighboring business owner. We are extremely disappointed in this individual's behavior and in no way support such actions. We have been informed that further formal and media investigation is underway.
