Walked in convenience store today and scary man said, ‘Heyyyyyy, how ya doin? You goin out tonight? You WANNA go out tonight? ‘ I ignored him but it was scary. I bought what I came for and left. Of course this is far from the first time this has happened. I’m just glad to see a place I can go to share and see the issue being addressed.
Optional: What’s one way you think we can make public places safer for everyone?
Back in the day, proprietors of many establishments posted signs that said things like, NO PROFANITY, NO SPITTING, NO LOITERING, etc. It may sound like a little thing but I think we need to return to that. A lot of people respected and instinctively obeyed those signs. Posting NO HARASSMENT signs in certain places could help. But, unfortunately, there will always be degenerates in society we will have to put up with.
