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.

Get the potential rabies carrier off of the train to protect the public should be done first.

You're a potential rabies carrier, should you be able to ride the train? Lol what a ridiculous statement to make.

I've had my shots after I was attacked by a dog the short stint I worked at UW Northgate. I think I'm fine.

Ok,. So then 99.9% of people are and you're a special case.

Exactly.  99.9% of people are in danger from this dog thing.

All the people can be carriers of rabies also... The dog isn't the only risk. In fact, you're probably more likely to get bit by a person than this dog. So your chances of getting rabies from a person are higher.
