Agree.
It’s like the homeless are some major hindrance to their blissful mindset and resent that something unpleasant has the nerve to exist in their suburban communities.
they can be a major hindrance, yes indeed
like when there are a half dozen of them on your train car and they are marching up and down the aisles demanding money from passengers, even those who were asleep
and playing big boom box at 30000 decibles, worst horrible obscene :”music” too
and then there are the ones who panhandle you (won’t get out of the pedestrian path to let you move forward until you give them $)
and then there are the ones sleeping with all their paraphanalia .. at the bottom and at the top of the stairs or escalators, so you have to jump over them or find a path around them somehow (not always possible)
and then 90 percent of them stink to high Heaven, too
there have been knives pulled on innocent passenger and pedestrians
have seen them beat up people too

i should add that maybe 2/3 of the beggars and druggies and dopies and drunks are NOT aggressive. half of them are knocked out cold asleep. they sleep using 2 0r 4 train seats, incidentally....so that’s another passenger complaint...but when they are spaced out or too drunk to stand up then they are not aggressive
and some of the other ones are also fairly peaceable, just always begging
but yes, ENTOTO the whole lot of them are indeed a major annoyance, hindrance to “normal” people, yes
it is just that I think they should not be killed off.
just picked up, removed to either jail or treatment center (depending on whether sober or under influence of drugs/booze)
and then when released told to stay away from begging and annoying pedestrians and passengers and all that sort of thing, under penalty of prison or ?
i just don’t think they should be killed is all, and all the talk is increasing so very very very much (including professionals, people in suits, regular office workers, other “productive members of society” we know)
all this “let’s kill the bums off” talk is upsetting me, quite frankly (and many of them appear VERY SERIOUS too)
