The viral video exhibits Rogan interviewing a guest, comedian Tom Segura, during his July 14 episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience.” During the podcast, the two were discussing the homelessness in Los Angeles.
Segura was explaining to Rogan that a homeless person’s belongings are ‘protected property, by law.’ Rogan was shocked to learn that you could be arrested for trying to move or take their property and said, “but they wouldn’t arrest you if you shot somebody. Maybe you should just go shoot the homeless people.” “I like your ideas,” Segura replied.
“And if nobody claims it. I mean nobody does anything about violent crime in LA anymore,” Rogan said.
“Nothing like a couple of rich f–ks setting around smoking cigars and criticizing people at their rock bottom,” one Twitter user wrote.
Another Twitter user accused Rogan of “advocating for the murder of people who have nothing and are at their lowest point.”
“Joe Rogan is outraged that…the homeless are allowed to own things?” another Twitter user wrote.
