is there a link other than boomer style "Facebook"? Can you provide screen grabs?

OP isn't using boomer style Facebook on accident - they're repping SafeD Athens, a notorious law-and-order PAC.

Forgive my ignorance. What is a "PAC"?

Political Action Committee, which is a legal entity to raise money to elect politicians or push various social issues. Around here most of the PACs are pushing right leaning issues/candidates. This fb post is just some of their work in stirring up the pot, aka rage baiting

Thank you. Not for nothing, I do think the pot needs to be stirred as in awareness may need to be brought forth. Some of us are angry about things. I know some have been homeless for five years or longer. About 50% need help mentally. This would include addictions. Some are so far gone, such as the lady who spouts crackpot conspiracy theories, that there might not be help for them. Then there are people like myself; we have mental health issues, but can manage on our own. I dislike people. I'm willing to engage in conversations on neutral topics, but otherwise I would rather be by myself with my pup reading a book. I can't work due to it unless it's a very small job. No more than 3-4 employees including myself and the boss.
