Go judge someone else. It wasn't my decision to turn whole cities into mental institutions. It was Ronald Reagan's.

Hahaha. Who said I was judging you? I hope you don't need to be using a tazer often because it doesn't sound like a fun existence. It sucks that we have homeless people in the richest country in the world, but that doesn't mean homeless people can't be dangerous. Take a chill pill please.

Apologies.

Every time I mention I had a run-in with a homeless person, some self-righteous SJW discounts my experience and infers that I must have been in the wrong, though I was just sitting on a bus minding my own business on the way to work. My city has fare-free buses, so we end up having a lot of close encounters with untreated homeless people. (Also why I carry a stun-gun instead of mace, so if I have to use it there's no chance of friendly fire.)

So I figured you were another one here to cast aspersions, and I have a short fuse with it for sure. My mistake.

All good. Stay safe out there. It's a wild world we live in.
