It was pretty sad and it was scary.

Bless people who help them out.

Went to the train station to get lunch. I saw a homeless man sitting near the cafeteria.

If anyone walked near him, he would start screaming at them and start threatening them. I quickly walked past him.

Went to the the cafeteria (and got a nice tilapia sandwich btw). Saw the homeless man wandering around. He was walking around drawing back like he was about to punch, people accusing them of hurting him and threatening him. He shoved at a few people and tried to grab someone.

By this point there were police on the scene watching him.

They waited till he got back to his cart and I left as quickly as possible because it was awful to see someone who was so lost and hurt.

If the cops work the area a lot I imagine they know him. I knew a lot of the people that had problems like this in the area I worked. You get to know these people and how to deal with them.

I’m good friend with the Dr. who is head of Homeless Programs in my County. I was amazed that this population could deal with so much at once: mental health, poverty, domestic violence, disease and alcohol/drug abuse.

Often one of these issues/symptoms are problematic. With the homeless population, you could be dealing with a combo of all.

Back in the day, we institutionalized these people to keep them safe. They are a harm to themselves and everyone they interact with. Money needs to be put back into mental healthcare facilities to take these people back on.
