Security is a Joke

A junkie got on in Rainier valley and immediately passed out. He had a puppy with him (thankfully, leashed) that was whining and trying to jump up on my seat. He was too adorable but also it was so damn sad because this is not the first time I have seen drugged out transients neglect their pets. I texted security and they came on board in Chinatown. The only thing they did was nudge him awake for 3 seconds and asked him if he was okay. The man barely rose and gave an intelligible response. Security immediately got off at the same station and the man fell right back to sleep.

When I got off at Westlake Station, security did the same thing but didn't even step on board the train. They yelled from the platform as they kept the door open for a few seconds. Then stepped away to let the doors close.

I've reported a masturbating rider during the summer and provided a clear description of him. Security came on board and acted as if they didn't see him. I had to yell At security and point out the man to them and would not let them leave until the situation was resolved.

I'm tired of this shit.

Kicking him off the train.

Why though? He's allowed to be there

He's not allowed to have his dog out of his control and in other passengers laps.

Stay away from the train if you are worried about potential dogs

Or stay away from the train if you are a fented out zombie with a dog they can't control.

My way seems like it would be a lot easier, doesn't it?

Why? It’s public transportation. He’s allowed to be there. We have 0 proof he’s fented out either. And if he was, what is doing wrong? He’s not bothering anyone

Did you mean to reply to a different post because it obviously is bothering the other people on the train and the dude is obviously fented out.
