Good for QT doing the right thing. I knew that was going to be a homeless trainwreck when they put in those tables. Personally, I'm so sick and tired of these knuckleheads taking a nap on the side of the street like they're somehow entitled to that slab of concrete. I certainly realize many of them have mental health issues but they give the good people who don't bother anyone a bad name.
The last good run-in I had was at the Harvard and I-44 QT. I'm pumping gas, my wife's in the passenger seat with the window down a hair. Tom Petty's on the radio turned up a little bit. Homeless guy is walking through the gas pumps talking smack to anyone who will listen and looking for conflict.
My wife gave him a stern and literal STFU, which he deserved. Dude responds by slamming his grocery cart into the side of my car. I immediately grab my extendable baton and come at him slowly. He's yapping his gums about putting a bullet in me. I extend said baton. He freaks out and runs with his grocery cart into Harvard traffic.
I'm not gonna run after the worthless sack of garbage, but I tell you what ... it was hysterical watching him weave in and out of traffic like it was a Frogger machine. How he didn't get hit by a car is beyond me. Luckily, he slammed his grocery cart into my back wheel well and you couldn't even tell there was a slight dent. I wasn't about to stick around for the po-po to file a report.
