There’s a guy like that around where I live. Really scary outbursts of swearing and threats, sexual harassment and intimidation, homophobic rants or slapping things to the ground and throwing lit cigarettes around bushes and wooden fences. Occasionally sleeping on a bench outside my window or sitting there for hours.

It’s unsafe for me to try to help him, police can’t or won’t do anything because he won’t accept help, and outreach services always have some limitation that means they can’t help.

Melbourne is cooked.
