DRUG USERS SHOULD CLEAN UP AFTER THEMSELVES

Re: "Church builds wall to keep out drug users, homeless campers," Dec. 
22. If the homeless drug-addicted want to use church property to sleep 
on, perhaps they should try being good neighbours. Just because they 
have addiction or mental health issues, it is not an acceptable excuse 
for leaving a filthy, dangerous mess behind.

During their lucid moments, why not collect their used needles and
trash and dispose of them safely? Perhaps the homeless shelters could
organize cleanup parties every morning.

If they were to keep their neighbourhood cleaner, people might be more
welcoming.
