[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This man needs psychological support and you are all more than willing to destroy his life over something that was likely out of his control.

He can’t help himself because he is mentally ill. You have no empathy? His neighbors didn’t press charges because they were good human beings who didn’t want to see another Black man locked up or possibly killed.

We need to discuss mental health support above all else or this problem will not get better. [/quote]

When's the last time you heard of a mentally ill woman exposing her genitals to children?

I am so tired of people excusing criminal and lewd behavior as "mental illness."

There’s a crazy woman over my the Anacostia Metro that routinely urinates, defecates and pleasures herself in front of the windows at the Thurgood Marshall Academy charter school.

I’ve personally seen her doing it on at least two dozen occasions.

So yes, it happens. Frequently. [/quote]

Did you call the police EVERY SINGLE TIME or did you just shrug and go about your business. [/quote]

Wouldn’t matter because everyone involved would blow you off. I truly do think SOME police care about crimes like this BUT their hands are tied by the fact that it’s very hard to force people into treatment, plus even if you arrest and take them to jail the perp won’t be prosecuted. [/quote]

There is only one way to find out if you will be blown off and that is to report. Every time. I cannot imagine that you watched a woman do these things at least 24 separate times, in the window of a school, but didn't report. This is what is wrong with society. Report, every time. [/quote]

Have you reported something like that to police?  Or anything, for that matter? 
I was recently grabbed and forcibly kissed (I guess?  Face mashed with his face.) by a waiter in a diner.  Totally out of nowhere, he wasn’t even my waiter so I hadn’t interacted with him.
This was in NYC, but same deal as any other big city.  
When I got away and called the police, the officer that took the call actually said that he didn’t think I should ruin the guy’s life and recommended that I leave it alone because the guy might’ve been undocumented and maybe I gave off some signal that I welcomed getting kissed by a total stranger.  Because I’ve always been “nice” and a wimp, I dropped it.  
It was a very creepy experience and the way the officer dealt with it certainly was enough to get me to shut up.  
Hopefully that was a one-off and nobody else has ever tried to report something and been brushed off, but I don’t think so.  It’s incredibly difficult to stand up for yourself, especially after a rather traumatic incident, when an authority figure tells you that you’re overreacting.[/quote]
