You need to understand that although I mentioned you because you’re the forums token drunk hobo, you are but a lab rat in a larger societal case study discussion and no one seeks a quote from a lab rat. We just watch your aberrant behavior and decide what’s the best way to deal with people like you and this kid.
To be perfectly honest, I wasn’t sure if you were even still alive. Every morning you wake up at this point is a coin flip. I forget you’re still alive and assume you’ve expired given the toll your lifestyle has taken on your health.
I was just using you as an example because we have all seen your very similar trajectory. We’ve all read your drunken rants. We’ve all seen you threatening to shoot people. Twenty years in a sleeping bag and hopping box cars sharing bottles with other hobos is even more severe than this kids story.
This is now a discussion about the proper way to deal with drunken hobos with violent tendencies and significant mental health issues such as yourself and this kid.
While you were mentioned, that doesn’t give license for you to involve yourself in this.
If I was looking for the best railroad route to jump boxcars from Skokie to Sante Fe, that’s your wheelhouse. This larger violent hobo and vagrant issue and its impact on the normal population is a discussion several levels above your 9th grade education.
Please confine yourself to the “advantage” slot button pusher threads in the future.
Thank you in advance
