You get it.
Most FReepers just post knee-jerk responses about how its OK to poop in the streets but not eat a sandwich.
Or worse, lots of Freepers here just post the usual “cops are scum” responses.
The guy clearly wanted to stage an incident. He wanted to go to jail. He created a problem and showed this world his asshat.
Did it shine a light on a stupid law? Yes. Were mistakes made by the cops also? Yes again.
But the main point of this cunning little stunt was clear. Sandwich guy is an idiot.
I disagree with you on this point.
It's not a stupid law or stupid rule.
The rule exists because some people use the stations and trains as personal trashcans. They drop their trash on the trains and get off at their stop or they drop their trash where they stand and then get on the train.
The trash is left behind for others to clean-up.
I respect you a lot and hate to disagree with you but I must.
The most important point isn’t the enforcement of a sensible rule. I agree the rule is sensible.
The most important point is WHERE the rule is being enforced. In a city where major health hazard behavior is completely if you. That IS the main point.
It’s like enforcing anti-littering laws in a European city where muslims are allowed to rape non-muslims.
Yes, it’s very much like that.
