Stabbing Suspect Told Filmmaker That Hollywood Is 'A Trendy Bunch Of F***ing Stuck-Up Yuppies'
Just two weeks before 26-year-old Dustin Kinnear was accused of stabbing a woman to death at the intersection of Hollywood and Highland, he was the subject of a documentary on homeless people in Hollywood.
Filmmaker Chadwick Davis interviewed 25 homeless people near that famed intersection for his film called "Making It In Hollywood." Two of those people included Kinnear and his friend Brian Widdows, who was also charged in the death of 23-year-old Christine Calderon.
CBS Los Angeles obtained a clip of the interview, and Kinnear sounds like a man who has reached the end of his rope. In the video, he says, "You want to come here? Don't move here unless you've got money to come here and live on your own. Don't come here trying to make money."
He adds: "Hollywood is a full of nothing but a trendy bunch of fucking stuck up yuppies. That’s it, that’s all they are."
Widdows told his story to Chadwick, too: "I went from having everything to having nothing in a matter of months."
Chadwick said that the pair approached him while he was filming when they saw he had a camera. He said, "When they talked to me they seemed so open." Lots of people were taking pictures of the pair without incident.
However, two weeks later when Calderon took a picture of them, they demanded payment and she refused. That's when Kinnear, Widdows and Jason Wolstone are accused of fatally attacked her.

Chadwick told CBS, "He made it clear to me he didn’t want to be on the streets. They could have been on their last string of hope...of life...of desperation."
Previously, a friend of the suspects told LAist that they could become quite angry and aggressive—particularly when they were drunk.
CBS also spoke with Kinnear's mother April Pena, a police detective in Tucson, who told the TV station her son was mentally ill: "It's been a matter of time that this would happen." She added that she believes he needs to pay for what he's done.
