I agree with this. The homeless in DC (and many other American cities) have been allowed to take over and do whatever they want, set up makeshift encampments on public sidewalks, rant and rave, punch the air, scream expletives with children around, whatever, while the rest of us scurry along and hope they don’t decide to harm us. It is unacceptable that the rights of the drugged out and mentally ill trump all others. When will we learn?

This! x a million.
Act like you live in our current world, not the way you think things "should be." So many people just don't get this.
minus a million
That's how we get to living in a society like Saudi, where women can't go out, travel alone, dress a certain way, because men can't control themselves or their actions. Give the men a curfew. Start redirecting, and telling men to be responsible - explicitly assert: don't attack, don't rape, don't shoot, don't kill, don't assault, etc. When you keep putting it on the shoulders of women, the entitlement of men and boys grow - they have no reason to change their end.
I am a female runner, and I am f*cking tired of this sh!t.
I kinda like this idea.
