Much how I felt about your initial comment.
It seemed to be defending the right for apple consumers to take up space on the sidewalk for short amounts of time; yet perfectly outlined why homeless people shouldn’t be viewed as criminals: By far and large homeless people are mostly just people down on their luck trying to live with at least some semblance of dignity, safety and peace of mind.
I’d expect that “Loitering” would have been easily compounded from something like “Idle-Sidewalk-Standing-Without-Apparently-Anywhere-to-go-With-a-shiftless-ennui-in-one’s-heart-due-to-the-oncoming-constable-carrying-a-billyclub-and-with-a-police-dog-in-tow-oh-the-dreariness”
Giving someone the space to stay for a few nights should not be criminal. Eew, how dare a homeless person inconvenience you with their presence and obvious criminality/disease/troublemaking tendencies.
I think you’re trying hard to be offended. If you read my comment, I was simply saying that homeless people are looking for a place to feel safe and get some sleep. I don’t think they should be arrested for doing so. I’m not sure what you think I was saying, but I’ve spent quite a lot of time helping the homeless. I’m defending them.
Again, I have no idea what people are reading into the words “homeless people are just looking for a place to feel safe and get some sleep”. They should not be arrested for it. They aren’t inconveniecing me. They aren’t diseased.
