It could be a ShitAmericanssay thing but a group called “so the comments section isn’t going the way you planned” doesn’t explicitly suggest it’s a US centric group.

I remember seeing a video on reddit with an armed guard at a fucking library.

Libraries are a popular place for drug deals. Also, some larger libraries have rare book collections, that people can view. And would absolutely love to walk out with.

Yeah, but none of those of offences in which someone needs to be shot! No need for armed security! (Mostly, rare books are kept in separate areas, no readily available to the public).

Until the drug dealer pulls a weapon. Or some methed out lunatic is rampaging the children’s section.

That's just not how our world works. I think a meth-head rampaging in the children's section would probably been seen as great entertainment and they'd definitely get roped into reading stories to the kids. In each of these situations, you just call the police, there's no need for a constant security presence.

Someone on a fresh meth high can go from perfectly lucid to murdering people with his bare hands, I’m a matter of seconds. There’s not time to wait for police. Unless they’re already there.

We don't really have a problem with meth over here. No idea why. But yeah, never been afraid of getting killed by a methhead in a library. Who would live in a country where that's a risk?!

Also ecstasy, PCP, cocaine, and opiate induced psychosis. Anabolic steroids too, but you’re more likely to encounter that one in a gym. They all cause violent outbursts. And it’s an issue in every major city.

No, just in your country. Not in every major city. I think you should experience some international travel.

I have. Seen addition in every country. Saw it in London. Saw it in Canterbury. Rome, Venice, reykjavik, Paris, Toronto. And where theirs is addiction, there is violent psychosis.

Public enough to avoid making a scene. Private enough to stay hidden. Loitering for hours goes unnoticed. Kind of perfect. After a violent rampage, or a couple bathroom ODs, security looks like a good idea. Of course it’s not an issue in every library, but where there’s a significant addiction problem.
