The photos depict members of CrossFit Mean Streets, a gym located on the edge of Skid Row at 265 S. Main St., engaged in mockery and humiliation of troubled local denizens, some of whom had passed out on the sidewalks.

It's a sharp contrast to the morals and ethics CrossFit claims to espouse.

CrossFit Mean Streets bills itself as "the premier strength and conditioning facility in downtown Los Angeles" on its website. However, the conduct of Mean Streets owner Ronnie Teasdale and some of its clientele, exhibited on its website and Teasdale's Facebook profile, shows a pattern of using the homeless and substance abusers as a source of amusement.
