I feel very sorry for the emergency workers, the wankers seem to have all the rights! But there is some irony that the wankers won't get more sympathy anywhere else than they get from the emergency workers, they genuinely care. I couldn't do that job!
When I was in hospital for a day or two last year I couldn't believe how disruptive the wankers can be, the emergency medical staff and security staff are consumed by wankers getting aggro because they can't have a smoke or want to piss off out of the joint high as a kite! The emergency would probably be 40% more efficient if the police could just locked them away, but they can't! This is the hidden cost Joe Average doesn't see, while half the staff are dealing with some disruptive wanker, other ill people are not getting the level of attention they need to get out of the place faster! Either way, we pay, we all pay!
I don't know what the answer is, it's not having police in there because the staff will tell you they do not want armed police inside the emergency wards. They see that as being just one lunatic away from a mass homicide! Do no harm!
Well the answer certainly isn't removing the responsibility by decriminalising it IMHO. These days, it seems to always be someone else's fault or problem.
