Strange Guy

June 4th, 2008

On the way back from my new daily walk, a guy got off the bus with a bag over his shoulder and a huge suitcase. He looked like he was from out of town, and he even mentioned “he wasn’t from around here.” I found it kind of odd, his urgency to find a Catholic Church. After I started going on about Woodward being a good option for finding a Catholic Church (we were on Cass, just south of Warren Avenue), he pointed to a church south on Cass, and I told him it was a Christian church. He said “that’ll do” and started walking towards it. I wonder why he needed a church so bad?

Someone at work said that he may have needed shelter. From the size of his suitcase, maybe it was all his belongings, and he actually did need shelter, although, he did look pretty put together.

Some blind/partially handicapped (palsy of some sort) dude just got beat up by the WSU cops.

He was at the Barnes and Noble, harassing customers, and they called the WSU cops on him.

They were escorting him out, grabbing him by the jacket, and he was starting to resist.

Then, the bigger cop (male), pushed him up against the food display, smacking his face against the glass, very hard. This poor dude wears glasses, too. He was bleeding profusely from the mouth.

I guess this dude is a nuisance and causes problems all the time. Regardless, I feel bad for him. He should’ve just let them escort him out, but man, he’s partially blind (with a white cane) and has some other physical limitations.

Edit: I guess he’s just partially blind, and not physically impaired in any way. Still, he’s pretty small.
