[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So yesterday at the Metro, I had to step around someone sprawled in the tunnel into the station, begging for money with his mangy dog next to him. On the train, there was a pile of peanut shells strewn on the floor by my seat, like one would see at the ballpark after a game that went extra innings. Panhandling, pets, obstructing passengers, eating and littering are all prohibited on Metro property, but it doesn't seem to matter anymore. "Decriminalizing" those who engage in theft of services (i.e., riding Metro without paying the fare) will only accelerate this downward trend. Helpful tip: when people let something go to sh#t, it eventually becomes a sh#thole. [/quote] Half the stations in DC are already homeless shelters, so why not go all the way? [/quote]
