David Axelrod @davidaxelrod - So I just walked by the Art Institute of Chicago where an elderly man, probably homeless, was sprawled unconscious, on the museum's front stone steps in the midst of a heat emergency.
I asked a museum security guard about it and she said she had woken him 3 times and suggested he move into the shade and he refused each time.
I called 911 and the operator said, "Well, is he ASKING for help?"
When I said no, she said, "Well I'm not going to send anyone."
So the man remained, passed out in the blazing noon sun.
I guess that's how the City of Chicago deals with such situations.
Perhaps I should have tried to wake him to try and persuade him to move into the shade but I'm embarrassed to say I didn't. I moved on, like many others who simply ignored him.
I hope we're not all complicit in assisting an unintended suicide.
