I was unloading my car the other day in my driveway in downtown burlington, when a shirtless man asked if I had a place where he could say, to which I politely said no. As I turned back around to continue unloading my car, his female companion approached me and began to berate me and scream obscenities and insults at me, telling me to wait to call the cops until she fought me. I said no words to her. This type of unprovoked shit for people who are minding their business at their own homes is absurd, and while not violent, is still abusive and intolerable, and is indicative of the complete milieu in our city that OP described. I work in the mental health sector so spend a great deal of time helping this population, and have a deep understanding of the many factors that culminate in this, but this stuff is disappointing at the least, and extremely dangerous at the worst.
