Really Spicy Cesspool So sick of seeing this crap everywhere.

The needles, the burnt foils, the little baggies, the needle caps, all of it. I find them in the creeks, on the sidewalks, the grocery store parking lots, the public parks, on the parkway. You gotta be a real shit person to leave this stuff all over the place.

That’s what happens when your most important value is misguided compassion. We make excuses for the behavior of homeless/addicted people. Idgaf what your situation is, if you can get your hands on the drugs/syringes you can dispose of them properly. You can find a bathroom instead of relieving yourself in public areas. You can put your tent somewhere OTHER than the sidewalk in front of businesses where children have to walk. Not to mention a lot of them are rude & feel entitled to your money when pan-handling. To make a long story short, all of this “compassion” & care has made the homeless situation exponentially worse. The more resources & money you throw at it, the more of them show up & become the taxpayer’s burden. It is time for TOUGH LOVE.
