Default Question for O.H. Lee

I just saw the picture alesis posted in another thread and it's pretty "funny" that we had the same thing happen to us this morning.

As I left the house at 7:30am this morning I noticed a women (I thought it was a man at first) passed out on my neighbors steps and she had wet herself. She was passed out within 5 feet of our front door in a puddle of her urine.

I went back inside and called the local number for the police. They told me to dial 911. I told the operator that there was someone passed out in a puddle of piss on my neighbors steps. I was surprised that an ambulance was sent in response and not a police officer as well. She refused treatment and went on her way. My worry is that if these people don't have to answer to the police they may think of it as a great place to sleep because at worst they will get a wake up call from the paramedics.

So, what are the laws around passing out drunk on someone elses property and urinating yourself? I can't imagine that this can be legal. if this happens again how can I guarantee that a police officer will come? I see this as a serious quality of life issue.

Unless of course you have uromisitisis, in which case you can get a public urination pass from the city.*

Its amazing that the fire truck didn't show up first. I know that may sound crazy, but that's the way it usually happens around here. A firetruck will show up and they will deal with the person until paramedics arrive. Its a crazy system IMO.

At anyrate, if the cops did show up it would probably be at most a public intoxication charge which would probably be some type of ticket.

It wouldn't be crazy if the PFD showed up and let loose with a hosing that would do Bull Connor proud.

Tannhauser,

Serious question: Do you think Jesus looked favorably on Bull Connor? Why or why not?

Why would Jesus look favorably on a man who’s heart was so full of hatred? Are you familiar with the teachings of Christ?
Moreover, are you familiar with my views from my posts? I’m not exactly known as an ardent defender of Democrats.
