Well, that was a terrifying school pickup.
A dude was parked (again) in a no stopping zone right where parents need to pass on the small road next to my kids' school. I asked him (again) to not park there as it's dangerous.
He screams "It's none of your business". So I said "it is, but we'll let the council decide". So I took a photo of his car in front of the no stopping sign with his number plate on view. He screams at me to "fucking come here or I'll fucking kill you". So I rode off 1/2
Next thing I know, he's coming up behind me at 100kph+ on a suburban street. So fast that I have to ride into someone's driveway to get away from him. He screams that he's going to hunt me down and kill me. So I shout back I'm calling the cops.
45 minutes later, I've given a statement and they're on their way to arrest him 2/2
@sortius Yet another person who needs mental health care. That's not sane behavior, safe to be out in public. But we don't deal with people like that anymore. We pretend it's not a problem until they do something terrible, then we send them to prison. At no point do they receive mental health care.
@sortius But those are mental health problems. A few months of proper care in a secured hospital would go a long way. But we're not allowed to do that anymore because "he was just expressing his feelings".
@shuttersparks nah, fuck that excuse. It's not a mental health problem, he's an angry arsehole who made death threats to me.
Stop blaming people's bad behaviour and poor anger management skills on mental health problems
