So someone did this at the mall near me yesterday. If this is you. And you are on here. Be better. This is not how we get respect for our community. And doing this literally right beside a children's play place. Is disgusting.
I feel weird making this point. I have seen several videos of people who are "out in public" which seem reasonably convincing, that is exactly what is going on in the video. I have also heard people from the community speak about things that they have *seen* in public. It seems really strange that I have never heard someone say they actually saw someone seriously being inappropriate in public. Though they may say they saw *reports* of it close to them.
For example, I saw *multiple* reports of someone finding dog food laced with nails and glass at a local dog park. I found it very suspicious, and that the people who were reporting it were reporting that they had seen it reported. I did a reverse image search, and I found the same picture which apparently was my local dog park, being reported at easily a half dozen different dog parks, all across the country. Not similar pictures, the exact same picture. And every one was, "I saw this at my local dog park."
The exact same thing can *not* exist in multiple places (at least if there's an "organic" component to the thing, like rocks and dog food and random placement of things).
I have no idea what the story is here. I'll agree that if this was as it appears, it's pretty questionable. But all I have is a single still, where someone is saying that it happened near them, but *not* saying they saw it. There is very little detail (in fact from what I can tell, almost no further detail) as to what was actually happening.
There's a person standing right beside, at a "I'm with him" distance, and not a single person in this picture looks at all concerned. Which really seems unusual if honestly this is real and what it looks like.
The distinct lack of information leads me to question whether or not the alarm is justified.
