Gee, if I didn't know you better, I would think you were accusing me of being a classist snob!

This is a fair point. Downtown Moncton has had a problem for some time with vagrants, hobos and panhandlers. They like to camp in an area not too far from the train station. Perhaps this gentleman was just passing by when he was being arrested, or perhaps he was annoying the bus passengers by panhandling. I have no idea.
