This must be stopped. I've driven down 3rd multiple times over the last year & its worse each time. I've had drunks stagger out in the street & they have the gall to flip me off when I honk my horn to warn them out of the way. Festering piles of feces, garbage, urine-soaked piles of clothing scattered about, enough is enough. The City Assembly seems to have their heads firmly buried in the sand. WHY is this situation not being dealt with? Why has it been allowed to reach this point? The drugs addicts, thieves, wastoids, have taken over sections of downtown & all around Beans and Brother Francis, APD does... nothing? Do we really have a city of laws only for the law-abiding, all others get a pass & a bottle of hooch, free sandwich, free, clean needles for their next injection?

The time for fun & games is over. This needs to be dealt with & as harshly as possible. When the criminals & junkies have more rights under law than the citizenry, it's time to change the laws AND ENFORCE THEM.
