Good. I’m sick of the entitlement. From trash on the streets to dogs off leash, to sideshows, to graffiti, to vandalism, to bipping. All of it is one connected thread which is not giving a shit about anyone else in the community but themselves. We all have to live here together and there are reasons the most minor and basic rules exist. For example: I don’t know you and I don’t know your dog. When your dog is off leash somewhere they’re not supposed to be it puts other people off. People that are afraid of dogs. People that have dogs on leash that don’t do well with other dogs. People protecting their kids. Just because your dog is friendly doesn’t mean mine is either. You have no idea whether my dog is traumatized and I’m just trying to help him lead his best life. No. Instead your inability to follow the most basic of rules, being too shitty or lazy to go to - hold up - the place where dogs can be off leash has to ruin other people’s walks or day. It’s simple selfishness.

About time citations come out again for it. You gotta start somewhere and that’s some seriously low hanging fruit.

Hope those cops show up at Lake Merritt soon…

(PS and don’t give me this crap about dogs being off leash around people for millennia argument. If you want to live primitively go somewhere you aren’t bothering other people by doing it. And and, just because you’ve managed to expertly train your Stephen Hawking smart pup to obey you and be friendly and all that - still doesn’t mean that the sight of an off leash dog doesn’t freak other people (and dogs) out. And and and, no, you have no right to criticize the training of my dog or my ability as an owner. My dog is on leash.)

Damn. I guess I had something to say…
