Tent at military and western ?

[Anonymous]

I’m surprised there’s not a post piece already on whatever discussions have gone on in the condo association.

Yes, I’ve seen the homeless person who lives in it within the past couple of months or so.

No the adjacent building has no such right - it is true they are required to maintain the space but it is not their property & they cannot remove someone from it - they need to contact MPD to start that process.

You are all horrible people!

We'll just move it onto your front yard. Better yet. Let him move in (though he'd probably refuse).

Oh honey, doubling-down on your hate and vitriol is not a good look.

He isn’ in your front yard so why would you act like that is what is happening here? I have no problem with a homeless person who is living in a public space near me.

Does it have gun emplacements? A keep? Moat? Is it defended by Knights? Surrounded by a stockade?

Curious as to what constitutes a “fortification” to a heap of fabric and aluminum poles.

I guess if you want everyone to know you don’t know that term, this is one way to do it.

Yeah, Einstein- that’s what I was implying.

I don’t know WTH a “fortified” tent IS. I goggled it. Google doesn’t know either.

Congrats. You’re smarter than me AND Google.

That Ivy degree was worth it all along I guess.

Maybe spend a weekend off the computer. A 10 year old Boy Scout knows what that means.

There's no such thing as a "fortified tent".

OP made up the term in an attempt to explain/describe what they are seeing/saw.

So, only they know what it is exactly or what the definition is since it's something they completely made up.

I can make assumptions and guesses as to what they may mean and if I had seen it, I would have some additional information to go on but I haven't so here we are - only OP knows exactly what a "fortified tent" is. You think you know, but you'd only be guessing.

OP could post a picture but to be honest, I'm OK if they are the only one who knows what a "fortified tent" is.

DP. You must have a really hard time in the real world communicating with people.

When we use language there are words and descriptors. When we don’t know the precise word that something is called, we try to use descriptors based on words that most people commonly understand so that they can create their own mental image.

In linguistics, this can be sometimes called the sign and signifier.

Still no picture or better definition - I can only conclude you don't know and would be guessing too -- moat and a taunting frenchman? Got it!

Boy Scouts put spray foam on their tents? Adults who don't know how to camp can join Boy Scouts to learn all these words? TIL

even one that is mentally ill, schizophrenic, using drugs. Ok for him to poop a few times a day in the public space, cause they do and that attracts massive amounts of rats.

I’ve never seen anyone come in or out but once there was strong wind and there was trash blown out all around it. Good to know it is inhabited - I’ll avoid that side when walking with my toddler. Surprised there is no pressure from the surrounding residents to remove it….

Why would you avoid it ?

not OP but i assume it's because he/she doesn't want to be accosted by a potentially mentally ill person, especially when with young children..?

Okay, I got you fam. Here is a *non-reinforced* tent that is in question.



Okay and then here we have a fortified version of it, mmkay?



I mean, from the picture it clearly has a moat, a small wall with barbed wire, and even some flames being shot up in the air! This is clearly a FORTIFIED tent.

You haven't invited them to set up the tent in your yard. What's your problem? You enjoy their suffering? You make me sick.
