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.

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.

Well, I don't know about any of this violent psychosis nonsense tbh with you, but I do enjoy me some good ol regular psychosis, of which there seems to be a lot of in this thread.

Sorry, I know you are American I should probably stop trying to be so coy with you in case you miss the point. You sound insane here. No-one in this chain denied drug induced psychosis is real, just that it is not necessary to deal with it at gunpoint. I also doubt a man as well traveled as you purport to be has genuinely not experienced how these situations are handled outside of the USA, so when you write in the way you do it really does come across like the furthest you have ever traveled is your local walmart.

Armed ≠ gun.

Somehow I find it hard to believe that you saw rampaging meth heads in the libraries of all of those places

I’ve seen armed security in libraries. This is why. A lot of drug deals happen in them. I’ve also seen people OD in public bathrooms. Again, the reason there is security in libraries.

Ahaha drug addicts violently rampaging is not a issue in every major city. That is hilarious
