Letter: What’s offensive, really?

Posted

Recently, a homeless man living in his truck was invited to sleep on a friend's couch on a 5-degree night. He parked at a train station. Someone was so offended by the sight of this vehicle the police were called and the truck was ticketed.

Meanwhile, a block away, motorists habitually run the stop sign at Willow Grove and Crittenden, and many others in the area without consequence.

The conclusion is that it is far more dangerous for a homeless man to park at a train station than it is to ignore stop signs causing pedestrians to scramble and stumble out of harm's way.
