  1. I guess when you’re homeless, -everywhere- is your living room.

    But I’m trying to recall from the ancient lore, didn’t people use to get arrested for this type of thing?

    1. Ya, but then they realized real justice and law was the offenders being let go (once minority status confirmed?!?)..so in order to expedite real justice and law, they just dont bother arresting them!

      Lawful and civil society achieved.

  2. G-O-B-S-M-A-C-K-E-D!

    I thought I’d seen about everything in 70 years of life; the good, the bad, the ugly, and a good bit of crazy. But after that, I’m starting to think I’ve led a sheltered life.

    What’s next? Cannibalism in the cars?

  3. Well, I similar thing happened to me here in Regina, back when I HAD to ride the bus to and from work. In the morning, no problems, as it was all normal people going into offices to work. I was in a fortunate position of only having to work 6-7 hours a day, so would be back on the bus at 3:15 pm outside of the Cornwall Center. One afternoon, an indigenous woman (or whatever they are calling themselves now) got on the bus either very high or very drunk. Refused to pay because she was “native” and the bus driver wisely looked the other way to avoid a scene. She then sprawled out on the front bench seat and passed out. She was clearly NOT wearing any underwear and was very dirty. The bus was crowded, so I could not move from my “front row seat”. I determinedly looked out of the window for the rest of my journey. And yes, I had debated with myself about getting off and waiting for another bus, but thought “what are the chances that something even more unsavoury would happen?”
    The City of Regina is desperately trying to having more people ride the bus. I am very thankful that I am now retired.
