| Abstract | On Thursday, October 10, 2008 at about 9:30 p.m., John Robert McGraham, a homeless man who lived in the Mid-Wilshire area, was killed when someone doused him with gasoline and set him on fire. McGraham, 55, who once worked nearby as a bellman at the Ambassador Hotel, suffered from depression. For two decades he repeatedly spurned efforts of family members and others to remove him from the streets and obtain treatment for him.; But those living and working in the densely populated, diverse neighborhood around 3rd and Berendo streets fed him daily and provided him with clothing. When he was set afire the evening of Oct. 9, residents and shopkeepers rushed to extinguish the flames but were unable to save his life.; The question of why and how something this horrendous can happen to another human being, especially one who is defenseless but who many may find invisible. |
