I was walking home with both arms full of groceries and a man walking past me muttered some obscenities about me and licked his lips. I felt nervous and scared.
Optional: What’s one way you think we can make public places safer for everyone?
In general, I think bigger sidewalks, and less armed officers which would encourage more pedestrians on the street, and therefore more eyes on the street. At times like this, it would be ideal if the government implemented grocery and pharmaceutical delivery services so people could stay safely indoors.
