Holy fuck literally everything you just said is either completely wrong or a complete asshole thing to say. Mostly both.

Poverty is the root of every problem the north side faces. Drugs? A way to cope with abject poverty. Crime? Again, poverty.

Walking alone at night? I do it almost every single night. "The majority of pedestrians are homeless?" Completely not true, just an assumption on your part.

Don't speak for the people who really do live on the north side. We aren't "scared shitless" or "feel like we can't leave without a gun." Just because you are terrified of anybody who looks like they are less well off than you doesn't mean the rest of us are callous assholes.

Please. Stay the fuck away from the north side if that's how you feel. We don't need you or people like you up here making things worse with your jumpy, terrified-of-poor-people projection bullshit.

Reply to Brosnan Security by Lost-Can-4218

  1. How much have you documented? Screenshots? Emails? Pictures? Any audio?
  2. Do you have any contact or can you contact any of these other people you've mentioned? (The fired black employee for instance?)
  3. You could probably talk to a lawyer about what might needed to file an actual OSHA or DOL complaint.
  4. These people work for Walmart and Brosnan. I'm not dunking on anyone's job, but in a very tight labor market for "low-skilled" labor in retail and service sectors, businesses are likely gonna sweep this under the rug. That and these people don't work for Google or in some kind of corporate white Collar high paying job. They can't be "cancelled" It's like getting someone fired from Mcdonalds. They can literally just go down the street to any of the other fast food places desperate for workers.
  5. Best of luck and this might actually be a blessing. You were working a thankless job where you can't actually/aren't allowed to do much. If the people you are around won't help themselves, move on. Don't let it drag you down.

I've lived in the north side for about 4 years now, in one of the sketchiest apartments and it's honestly not that bad. Just mind your own business, if a homeless guy starts screaming randomly in your direction just keep walking, and try to stay inside during night and you won't have any issues.

Kinda feel like anyone that's familiar with "city living" (I know Springfield isn't New York) should have little problems.
