       A mentally ill homeless guy walked onto a high school campus in my suburb, wearing all black, carrying a big duffel bag.  Now, it’s reasonable to be concerned about that and want to identify who it is, assure he’s not carrying weapons onto the campus, and so forth.But the community (as, perhaps, poorly represented on Facebook) is coming completely unhinged./1

       /2 The cops found him at a local Starbucks, identified him, determined he had no weapons, and gave him a trespassing ticket.  The community is OUTRAGED.  They’re stalking him around the community and taking pictures of him at Starbucks and McDonald’s and demanding that he be kicked out.  They want him jailed or institutionalized.

       /3 They’ve found his Twitter and Facebook accounts and are printing out the stuff there - kind of crazy, not notably crazy on Twitter — taking it to the police demanding he be arrested.  They’re keeping meticulous logs of his activities.I am considerably more afraid of my neighbors than I am of this mentally ill homeless guy.

       @Popehat Thanks for sharing this. If for no other reason, just to confirm I’m not the only one seeing this pattern. It seems to be a social illness.

       @Popehat It's like you live in a neighborhood with that one Karen I have as a neighbor, but instead it's everyone in your neighborhood who is on Facebook.It honestly sounds like a form of hell.

       @StanWonn @Popehat They actually do it all the time.  Notably drunk driving, speeding, etc etc etc, all of them have absolutely no harm done, yet are subject to state violence.The trick is understanding that doing it to the homeless guy is wrong ... and it's wrong to do it to others too.

       /8 People have an absolute right to have fears, and voice them, even if the fears are irrational in nature or proposed remedy.  But some people seem to thing that fears, particularly about children, should be above dissent or critique, which is weird.

       @Popehat Have you asked them if they’ve voted only for gun reform candidates on the last 20 years? This should the minimum requirement for being able to complain about a homeless man wandering into a school campus.

       @Popehat Years ago I went to a meeting about a very organized homeless encampment called Tent City 4 in the Seattle suburbs. One lady got up to the mic and ended her speech with, “Inches! Inches from our children!”My then wife and I laughed at the time, but man, a lot of people really do need to get a grip on reality.

Take a look at his blog. https://www.popehat.com/2016/06/11/hello-youve-been-referred-here-because-youre-wrong-about-the-first-amendment/
