issues, and not being able to keep safety up.

Well, if you are a member of city council, in insert city here... I can see it... but not for the reasons they will use you see.

The movement has attracted a few... shall we say... invisible people. Who are these people? Well they are what at times we colloquially called urban campers. And no, it was not out of lack of respect, and the very long term homeless well... anyhow... think about it from their pov. They do walk by a sleeping person regularly on the way to work... but here, they are in front of their offices. So it is not about the safety of the demonstrators. I am actually impressed at how they manage to keep a very vulnerable population somewhat taken care off. And yes a few of these folks NEED medical and psychiatric care. No... not at all. It is the heath and safety of the members of insert city council here. Looking the invisible in the face might give them a case of the soul that tugs. That is not good.

Oh and yes, I am positive a few of the people I talked to today were part of that invisible group... by the by.

Oh and I know it is coincidence, but I took lovely public transportation. On the way over we had a guy on the trolley with a clear mental problem... and on the way back, I sat by an old man who probably had TB... so off to the shower with me. And no, I am not kidding. The symptoms were a classic of something that we should not have in the US.
