Hell's Merry-Go-Round

My friend at Signal 94 isn't what you'd call a prolific blogger - two posts since starting up the site on Friday - but quality trumps quantity most of the time, as it does here.

Sig94 doesn't offer any solutions, just the observations of a beat cop:

This is not a “bad” young man. He is not a criminal. He does not use alcohol or drugs. He is courteous, respectful and is very intelligent. He is also a vegan; I do not comprehend how he can work as a burger flipper. He has made a series of bad decisions in his young life and now has made another that is very different from all his prior bad choices.

He has condemned two other people to a life of grinding poverty. And if not an entire lifetime, at least a long, very difficult period of precarious, hand to mouth, daily living. These three people are on the Road To Poverty.

Many unsavory yet fascinating images here - not the kind of thing you'll get from a reporter; it takes a cop who knows how to write.

"Signal 94" means "end of shift".

3 The story was in Syracuse, NY, but it could have been in any city or town in the US. Pathetic waste of human beings and their potential talent, brought to you in living color by the welfare state.
