[–] Iconoclast@feddit.uk 7 points 3 months ago (1 child) It's much more nuanced than that. What is illegal is: Loitering with intent to commit a crime (e.g., drug dealing, prostitution, harassment) Blocking sidewalks or entrances Loitering in certain restricted areas (schools, government buildings, etc.) Simply just hanging out in public is perfectly legal. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Nalivai@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago (1 child) My friend was thinking about buying a house in one of the suburban neighborhoods, and once went there to walk around and see if he likes it (as if he could distinguish one suburban neighborhood from another). He had cops called on him, and they threatened to cite him for loitering. For walking on public sidewalks. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] GoldAxolotl@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago (1 child) Can you clarify: your friend isn't white and took a walk in some known for being ultra white pieces of shit neighborhood (he never knew about it, because what for, in healthy person's mind) and some dudes or gals saw him out of the windows of their caves and took preventive measures against... dreadful sidewalking crime? And cops were [n]ice scum and they were ultra chinazi kkk? 0 sarcasm here unfortunately btw Just curious about em details permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Nalivai@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago (1 child) The fun part is, he's white af, not American by birth, but white. Nobody told him why he was harassed, cops just told him that loitering is a crime, asked him where he lives and where his car is, and checked that he actually drives away. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] GoldAxolotl@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago* (1 child) This is very exemplarily story. It shows us that race or any other differences between people never were the real problems. Problems are psychopathic schizophrenics with dementia who think they're irreplaceable wise rulers of everything.

Statistically, this happens to people of colour way more than white people, so the racism is also a big problem. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] GoldAxolotl@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago* Racism is a problem, but it is additionally artificially stimulated by intelligence to divide people even more, so they are the real biggest problem. Not like there's no natural racism. But some extreme shit that usually comes from some ultra[any shit here] is artificial and is stimulated.
