But instead of just posting a sign, help keep the area under
surveillance and DO report such "misdeeds" ..
i think surveillance just pushes such problems elsewhere, unless you can
literally watch everybody everywhere
the opportunity is to find a way to make the JDs care, and/or to give
them better outlets; not a simple task, but no amount of raw policing
will make them better people
incidentally, in the late 90s i encountered some street kids in
Minneapolis who had left several had left several chromed steel shopping
carts on train tracks in the Uptown area; they would sit on a nearby
hillside and watch the trains hit them; i learned this while carrying
home one such beautifully deformed cart i had found; i chatted with the
kids -- it was a diversion from begging for them; i told them the
results had a strange attractiveness, but that it was a pretty
inefficient way to create art; then i realized i had nothing better to
offer them ...
the crushed cart has hung in my living room since
