[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The only gross people in this scenario is OP and her spawn. I am sick and tired of privileged people being so completely tone deaf. OP would rather these people freeze to death than find the only shelter they have in the city. They have nowhere else to go so save me your "offensive smell" and "gag" nonsense. [/quote]

They have places to go. However, those places have more rules. The library is a free for all. [/quote]

Including the homeless. They belong there just as much as OP.[/quote]

No, actually, they do not.

The library serves a purpose. It is for browsing books, studying, accessing the internet if you don't have it at home, making copies, going to children's story time, etc.

It is not for hanging out, loitering, sleeping, harassing people and other things that many homeless people do there. So no, they do not have the "right" to be there to misuse the facility in this way.[/quote]

No one was harassing Op or her spawn. Again, they have as much right to sit there as you do. You’d know that too if you weren’t a horrible person.[/quote]

OP here -

My “spawn”? You’re hideous.

Harassment comes in different forms. Yes - intimidation by fear and extreme hygienic issues is a form of harassment.[/quote]

But I don't think they meant to intimidate you. They're just living their lives. It doesn't sound like they did anything to actually scare you. You're just scared of them because you see how far it's possible for people to fall, and that society does very little to help them. You're scared because that could be you, but for the grace of god.

Sure, that guy masturbating in front of my kids is just living his life.  The guy who just went in the bathroom to tweak is living his life - I should send my own young son in after him to use the bathroom.  Nothing to worry about, right?

I am speaking specifically to OP and the situation she describes in her post. There was none of what you mentioned. [/quote]
