just an absolute insane screed, starting with her crying about having to see homeless people (note that absolutely nothing happened to her in each of these 'incidents'), leading to her calling for armed vigilante gangs of 'real men' to publicly hang the homeless. what a fucking ride.

    Seeing people live their lives near me makes me scared, but seeing those same people dead and put on display would make me feel safe

    Fucking psycho.

    Damn if only there was a solution to the homeless that could involve fixing something inherent about being homeless. Maybe, giving them a safe and secure place to stay.

      White liberal women and creating made up scenarios where homeless people bother her and why we should execute them over being a pest rather than just housing them and calling it a day :morshupls:

    I remember back in middle school I read about these supposed mobile execution vans in china that went around black bagging people and injecting them with death chemicals on the spot.

    It seems like it was all fantasy and the reality is that Americans just projected what they wished was real for their own country

    If you see a man in his 30s dancing erratically near your home, what do you do?

    How do you write something like this and not immediately feel like the world's biggest ninny?

    White woman lists a number of situations in which she felt uncomfortable but was in fact unharmed. Somehow this confirms that she was in danger.

    What’s so annoying is I know so many people (specifically white women) who do this exact same thing. They’ll say how they don’t feel safe in public especially at night and their evidence for being unsafe is a list of situations where they weren’t harmed - most of the time all that happened was “An unhoused man spoke to me”

      This is going to sound rude, but women (especially conservative/liberal white women) forget that the majority of violence is and always has been done by people that they know and trust. The likelyhood of your significant other, friend or an acquaintance doing violence is statistically far more likely because they are able to get you into situations where they feel they can get away with it.

      This isn't to say don't trust people, but the first thing abusers do is try to isolate you, and the homeless have nowhere to isolate you, they are literally out in public. As well, most homeless people, even the mentally unwell ones, know that if you call the cops the cops will always side with you, so they really aren't going to fuck with you. If they are abusers they will instead primarily prey on other homeless people.

      Anyone have a good take on how to strike the balance between respecting subjective experiences and situations like this, where an objective view of the situation says something very different?

          I mean, apply this to someone who reports a sexual assault, or some type of sexual misconduct that stops short of that. There are harder cases out there.

    "The other night at 4am we came across someone violently hacking away at a grassy area on my block with a shovel. He was stealing the grass, scooping up the contents into grocery bags. "

    I'm howling in laughter at this phrasing. The man was stealing the grass. Someone stop this lunatic, soon we'll have no grass left.

    Rich white people from San Francisco are the weirdest people on earth.

        Indeed, it is literally impossible for someone to walk into the car tunnel, because as we all know, pedestrians and poor people are magically repelled by LED lights.

    Well, in most unusual social situations, I end up doing whatever's at the intersection of "embarrass my kids" and "let people live their lives", so in this case I'd probably start dancing right along with him.

      She mentions rich people living in isolated areas far away from homeless people. I’ll bet you $10 she has 0 interest in seizing their property or rent control or taxing the rich tremendously or any other solution other than The Final Solution

    how about this one.... where the houseless street dancers are compared to nazis and her having to see them is genocide.

    Yes, I’m sure that the admonitions to leave are irritating and SF is beautiful, etc. And I’m also sure that the admonitions to Jews to leave the very beautiful Germany in the 1930s were irritating as well. Sometimes the writing really is on the wall.
