[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It seems like a.war.on women.so many of the victims of these mentally ill homeless are women. By comparison mentally ill homeless women don't seem to be perpetrating violent crimes, they seem to also be falling victim and should be gotten off the streets for their safety. This homeless debacle seems lto result in an utter war on women (though as we've seen men and toddlers fall victim to these deranged actions as well).[/quote]

Women are easy targets in DC as they don't have an active police force to fall back on. These guys avoid any men who go into a defensive stance but these men no longer intervene to help women they don't know - too risky. Just the other day I watched a young woman walk to La Columbe in NoMa while pretending not to notice the homeless man following her two steps behind yelling sexual comments.[/quote]

It's awful. A woman was attacked in the GW parking lot, the woman murdered on Christmas day in DC, the woman knifed in Logan Circle, the woman pushed in front of the train in NY, the woman killed in the furniture store in LA, the woman shot on the SF pier. All mentally ill intrasnigents. It's the stuff of nightmares. [/quote]
Street harassment is not equivalent to violent crime. [/quote]

Who said it is? Stop using racism to diminish women's voices.[/quote]
The PPP just linked the two.

PP1: A woman was harassed walking to a coffee shop.

PP2: Women being violently attacked and murdered is awful.

There are plenty of reasons why the city needs to address the homeless problem, which is getting out of control. [b]The fact that homeless people make you personally have uncomfortable is not one of them.[/b]

Uh no, homeless people do not have the right to harass and make other people uncomfortable.[/quote]
Homeless people don’t have the right to litter and defecate in public. They don’t have the right to threaten people. They do have the right to be uncivil and make you uncomfortable. Sorry that you don’t seem to understand that. [/quote]
