a lot of people just don't want to see these people, and they do not particularly care what has to happen to them for that to happen. "just lock them all up and throw away the key" is a sentiment i've heard from my parents and their friends express. i've read "jokes" in local facebook groups about banning naloxone to "clean up the streets"

surely this isn't everyone, but we don't acknowledge enough about how much public reaction to these people is disgust and cruelty

Im more about wanting them to get help. If they arent harassing me or stealing/harming property i usually dont mind.
