That's not the bottom line, the law is the law nobody is arguing to kick anyone out. This thread was just about why someone might not want to go there and then being gaslighted that homeless people are somehow not a risk group in any way lol


It's up to you to do your own assessment but I don't see any reason to be fearful.

These are regulars at that library who never caused enough disruption to be banned, and aren't dangerous enough to be in jail. They also have more to lose by getting banned than housed patrons.


There absolutely are people which are fine and there are one's that don't. No need to create these specific scenarios.

That's the whole point of that post.


We're not talking about people being fine or not, we're talking about assessing the risk associated with homeless people patronizing libraries (which is effectively zero).

You are more likely to be attacked by a shark than a homeless person at a library and that should be obvious to anybody.


Nobody talked about attacks, we just said we'd avoid it. You at first escalated it to "hate" and now to "attacked".


And now escalating it to the attack which nobody except you even mentioned. Great. You, again just made something up... I don't see the point of this.
