Breaking: Homeless Sleep In Warm Place

NBC 10 ran another in a long line of important exposes by the NBC 10 Investigators™ last night; this time, the social ill was homeless people sleeping at the airport.

The real highlight of the story is the interview with the self-proclaimed “newest homeless person to arrive at the airport.” Take it away, Doug Ryan:

“I think they should worry about their own business,” said 18-year-old Doug Ryan, who believes he’s the newest homeless person to arrive at the airport. “It’s warm. It’s warm, they don’t kick you out, so it’s not the worst place,” Ryan said.

“What are you doing for food?” Cahn asked.

“Trash cans,” Ryan answered. “As you can see, there’s like a pretzel store right there. Some people throw away their food, and I’ll eat it.”

The airport pays $150,000 a year to deal with the homeless population there… you think somebody could quietly slip them food. But they do have homeless counselors come in, though, so, y’know.

    they spend 150 grand on homeless people? why don’t they just give them a 1 way plane ticket?… it would be a hell of a lot cheaper AND problem solved!

    I’m thinking of becoming homeless. I mean, think about it: no responsibility, people giving you all kinds of free shit, you get to verbally abuse cute girls on Rittenhouse square and nobody does anything about it… I’m sure you get used to your own smell after a while, and it no longer bothers you.

    That “frequent flier” obviously has some more flying to do, since it seems he’s never been to the airports that have stray dogs walking around in them.
