Sure but I very much value my kids over strangers engaging in destructive behavior on the street. Why risk myself and my family for them?

Don't value them over your family.

Just don't think of them as less than human.

Thats the thing, I don't. With that said, there is almost nothing more dangerous to a human than another human. I wish them nothing but happiness in life but I am also not going to ignore the fact that they are on drugs and potentially mentally compromised. A danger to themselves and others.

You literally commented "These people became not so much people". I'm not sure how else to take that.

I can tell you're frustrated about having to see homeless people. Let's just drop it there, then. I hope your community heals.

Not my community, I was just visiting San Francisco
