Doctors, nurses, and other professionals make a living here too. It can't all be proud boys for days.

Take STI tests seriously. The rates have not improved since 2020: https://www.ky3.com/content/news/Report-Springfield-among-US-cities-with-the-highest-STD-rates-567107921.html

What specific kind of problem? Are we talking sidewalk slip kind of problem or my masking rights kind of problem?

Stop by the municipal court and file a citizen's complaint. Provide a copy of the photos and whatever else you've got. No guarantees it will go anywhere, and it's muni court, so the worst that will be done is a low fine and maybe some jail time....but it's something more to do than wait on cops to work on it.

drugs are likely heavily involved. pointing out his stupidity at this point is not needed. this is a man who clearly needs serious help and a period of forced sobriety and growth.

Update from SPD on Facebook:

"Over the weekend, officers made contact with several individuals wearing high-visibility vests standing on traffic islands and medians in north Springfield holding signs indicating they were collecting donations for the funeral of 15-year-old “Maryo.”

In recent months, these individuals have been seen at other intersections along Kearney, reportedly collecting funds for different juvenile funerals.
Not only are these types of activities in violation of Springfield city ordinances, but we would also like to remind the public that you should not give cash to any individual without verifying the cause."

Thank you for clarifying.

Are we talking licensed vet? Or sociopath with some scissors kind of offer?

>To be fair, this city is shit for pedestrian crossings. Roads were designed with cars and only cars in mind. Most crossings are at traffic signals only, which are few and far between. The crossings are too far to be reasonably accessible to able-bodied walkers, let alone disabled travelers. This is a design flaw for both drivers and pedestrians.

>I've also seen more drivers blow through actual pedestrian crossings (even those light up ones with the cross-walks) with a pedestrian visibly attempting to cross than I've seen people jaywalk in Springfield.

>Not to say it doesn't happen that jaywalkers do stupid shit, but in instances of a car versus a person, the onus is on the driver with the thousand pound machine to show more care on the road.

Keep your phone out and recording whenever you cross. If a driver takes me out with their shitty driving choices, I'm going to haunt them for the rest of their lives legally with evidence of my death and a nice prison cell. Assholes can't drive in the DOC.

At this point, escalating is in order. If this person makes threats of violence, contact the police. If that doesn't help, go to prosecutor's office and file a report.
