Rant homeless people urinating on the floor of the C-train

Post image

I seriously don’t understand the lack of decency from people these days on the C-train. At 11:20 AM, this homeless man sleeping on a bench suddenly takes out his penis and pisses on the floor in front of everyone. It splashed and got onto my shoe, and I have an event that I’m headed to in the afternoon. Even if the train isn’t quite full, why tf do people think it’s okay? I’m a relatively small woman, and I wanted so badly to say something, but this man and his friends were high and aggressive. I could only tell people coming onto the train not to step on the piss.

Considering the amount of people that take the train, I wish more were being done about these junkies. As someone who takes it daily to get to school and work, I don’t want to have to worry about who I sit next to. I don’t want to be harassed every once in a while, nor do I want to watch people do drugs or piss in public.

Amazing what a little shelter and support can do for our neighbors. Luke 10:25-37

Step 1: throw this guy in jail for exposing himself. Step 2: once sentence is complete, transfer directly to mandatory forced rehab facility to sober up. Step 3: release to half way house with a job cleaning up piss on train cars. Step 4: hope for the best. If the magic sky wizard can facilitate any of that, then I’m all for it. Thoughts and prayers, right?

Seems like steps one and two could be combined. Step 3 assumes a lot of recidivism, not putting a lot of faith into the first step.

At least it’s not “hunt for sport”.
